I'm reminded of this event:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tlatelolco_massacre
At the time, the government and the mainstream media in Mexico claimed that government forces had been provoked by protesters shooting at them.[SUP][1][/SUP] But government documents made public since 2000 suggest that the snipers had been employed by the government. Estimates of the death toll ranged from 30 to 300, with eyewitnesses reporting hundreds dead.
