Seems like the old general is trying to save face with such improbable accusations - men on rooftops preparing to fire on demonstrators!! The police had the situation well under control. The more likely reasons for ending the rally were the poor turnout and the failure of those he thought were his friends in the military to answer his calls for "help"
