I certainly do. I think it's an outrage. No, it doesn't quite reach the
level of killing immigrants, or the way the recent khat raid was handled.
This recent incident seems intended to promote a chilling of political
speech and relatively peaceful protest, though.
This sort of police abuse is indicative of their "use as much force as
possible" approach to any confrontation. They seem to be trained to
escalate as much as necessary to prove to everyone involved that they
(MPD) are "in control". They're not in control, they're out of control.
Hopefully the Mayor can look past his police endorsements during the
election season and work for some change in the department. We all know
there are good cops on the team: this isn't about the street cops. It's a
management decision, and a poor one at that.
