Just to give you a glimpse of better things than saddening photos of police brutality, here is what people did at the Gezi Park in the past 2-3 days:

* An impromptu library was built, here are some photos: http://gezikutuphanesi.blogspot.com/ (scroll down) with books donated by people and many publishers.

* Women doing yoga at Gezi Park: http://imgur.com/3kubMll?tags: http://imgur.com/3kubMll?tags (FYI, it is not common to see people, let alone young women, doing yoga in public parks in Istanbul!)

* A number of orchestras giving a classical concert at Gezi: https://www.facebook.com/dutchrevolution/posts/5801004786774...

I am left speechless by these events, never seen anything like this in any protest in Istanbul.

And there has many, many really funny graffiti and signs, here's an example: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151695543624468...
