You should post from both parties, Abed... not only the opposition's 
I'm posting from international news agencies, bro...
If you want to hear what Bashar's authorities say, just go back to what Qadhafi is saying now and what Ben Ali and Mubarak were saying in the previous months.
Syrian police shoot nine people dead in attack on area sheltering protesters
Syrian police launched an assault on a neighbourhood sheltering anti-government protesters, fatally shooting at least nine in an operation that lasted nearly 24 hours, witnesses said.
At least six were said to have been killed in an early morning attack on the al-Omari mosque in the southern agricultural city of Deraa, where protesters have taken to the streets to calls for reform and political freedoms. An activist in contact with people in the city said police shot three other protesters in the city centre after dusk.
Inspired by the wave of pro-democracy protests around the region, the uprising in Deraa and at least four villages nearby has become the biggest domestic challenge since the 1970s to the Syrian government, one of the most repressive in the Middle East. Security forces have responded with water cannon, teargas, rubber bullets and live ammunition. The total death toll now stands at 16.
Democracy activists used social-networking sites to call for massive demonstrations across the country on Friday, a day they dubbed Dignity Friday.
An activist in Damascus in contact with people in Deraa said six had died in the raid on the mosque. A witness in the city said five people had been killed, including a woman who looked out of her window to see what was happening during the operation, which began after midnight and lasted for about three hours.
Heavy shooting rattled the city until at least the early afternoon, when bursts of semi-automatic gunfire could be heard echoing in its old centre.
State TV said an "armed gang" attacked an ambulance and security forces killed four attackers and wounded others and was chasing others who fled. It denied security forces had stormed the mosque, but also showed footage of guns, AK47s, hand grenades, ammunition and money it said had been seized from inside.
Mobile phone connections to the city were cut and checkpoints throughout Deraa were manned by soldiers in camouflage uniforms and plainclothes security agents with rifles. Anti-terrorism police wearing dark blue uniforms were also on the streets.
The witness said hundreds of anti-terrorism police had surrounded the mosque.
The unrest started with the arrest last week of a group of students who sprayed anti-government graffiti on walls in Deraa.

Abed and Rab...
I can provide videos that counter what you posted...
You guys want to make things look like they were/are in Egypt and Lybia?
If you doubt the local media Abed, what makes you sure that what you see on the international media is true?!!!

Answering your question, we got used to have more accurate information from Reuters, Associated Press and AFP much more than the official agencies of our countries. Look at the official agency site Sana:
http://www.sana.sy/
How many news are there on the main page about the events in Daraa where people are killed since days?
One news which is:
"Armed Gang Attacks Medical Team in Daraa Killing Doctor, Paramedic, Driver, Security Member"
http://www.sana.sy/eng/21/2011/03/24/338048.htm
Does that news really make sense for you? An armed gang would attack a doctor? Why?

Please bro, lets not kid ourselves.
Seriously, are you indirectly trying to deny that Bashar is not a criminal?
Abed, there are tens of videos on the net...
When you talk about the international agencies accuracy, don't forget if they have a plan they can twist the news the way they like. what prevents them from doing so?
About the incident, are you really asking why would an armed group shoot the driver and the doctor?
Trying to imply something?
Do you know that the first group behind all these incidents is "Al-ekhwan Al-moslimeen"?
Local Media

I am in touch with a lot of people who live there and I can assure you that 90% of people are against what's happening.
If you think Bashar is a criminal, it's your opinion and I respect it, but let's agree to disagree.
All in all, I know you guys want to believe in one thing, so it's useless for me to talk here.
Let's wait and see...
I'm out of this thread.
The main hospital in the Syrian city of Deraa has received the bodies of at least 25 protesters who died in confrontations with security forces, a hospital official said on Thursday.
"We received them at 5 p.m. yesterday (1500 GMT). They all had bullet holes," the official told Reuters.
