By refusing to let the protestors exit the freeway, the police caused the blockage of traffic to be over 3 hours longer, during the handling of all the arrests.
Police also like to crowd protesters into confined areas and then arrest them for not dispersing.
Police love to escalate peaceful protests into violent ones by making everything worse.
Not that I would support it in any way, but that would be the perfect time for people to suicide bomb. Being crowded with a bunch of people would definitely lower the impact, but being slightly spread out, you might have a better chance of doing more damage.
Have respect for our people out in the field. They are the ones doing the good fight
Maybe these people shouldn't have started blocking the highway in the first place? There's nothing here that makes these arrests unjustified.
I'll correct your post for you chief no need to edit. What halfempty really meant to say: By entering the freeway, the protestors caused the blockage of traffic to be over 3 hours longer.
This.
