One of my brothers friends was a Kent police officer when that happened. He witnessed the entire incident. The protesters were unruly and tossing objects towards the guardsmen. They were ordered to disperse. However, he said he never heard the order to fire upon them....it just "started". First one shot, then a couple seconds later, more shots and tear gas. Bear in mind, some of the students killed and injured had NOTHING to do with the protest.

After it was all over he overheard guardsmen and police officers joking about "shooting fish in a barrel" and making other derogatory comments about "hippies", "commies" and so on.

He turned in his badge and went home.
