The Prime Minister of Turkey is using the police actions in the US during OWS to justify the current use of force against protesters in Turkey.
He first said that 17 protesters were killed during OWS.
The US Embassy resonded and said no one was killed.
Now he has said 30 were killed.
I was not in the US during OWS (and still am not) but as far as I can remember no one was killed. Is this correct?

In Turkey 2 protesters have died and one police officer (he fell off a bridge).
At least ten have lost eyes.
More than 700 hospitalized. As of a few days ago 43 were in intensive care. I don't know the number now.
More that 5,000 injured.
