fly said:Can you be sure the government had an open and shut case? No. It's likely in an police operation AND rave that big, that some miscommunication happened on BOTH sides.
The operation wasn't that big. It was just crowd dispersal, with a couple of people arrested for various things. I'm going on the assumption that, based on past experience, the ravers are blowing things WAY out of proportion because kids at parties absolutely hate being told to fuck off by cops. And of course, after watching that video and seeing nothing whatsoever out of the ordinary.
I've been to many raves here in Dallas that weren't ever discovered by the police, and I've been to many that were. In every single case where the cops showed up, there were dickheads who mouthed off and cried foul, abuse of authority, official oppression, anything they could think of because they were pissed and/or hate being told what to do. Kids are stupid is all I'm saying, and they LOVE to be dramatic.
