Now thats real police. This should be what all riot police should do in all countries. Opening fires to the protesters so they won't have the guts to go again.

I just want you guys to know that the police didn't initiate the conflict with the West Papua sympathizers. They didn't shoot them first, the police only had given them a warning by shooting into the air before the sympathizers went berserk and started attack the police by throwing stones to them. That triggered the aggravation of the police.

I'm not trying to defend the police. It's clear that they are at fault when they started going barbaric but it's not completely their fault.

sangat disesalkan bila pihak keamanan negara bukan mengamankan namun anrkis dan membabibuta saya pikir pihak keamanan harus berbenah diri mengenai mentalitas agar tidak cepat bertindak, segala hal dapat di selesaikan dgn kepala dingin ideologi orang papua tidak dapat diubah oleh siapapun oleh sebab itu org papua minta REFERENDUM sebagai jalaur damai dn bermartabat. FREE WEST PAPUA

This reminds me of the racist white police shooting at black African demonstrators in South Africa more than 20 years ago. These security forces are not out of control they are acting under the orders of the racist Indonesian regime which is trying to crush the Papuan independence movement. They will fail to colonise Papua and Indonesia will fall apart. Democracy in Indonesia? Don't make me laugh. Indonesia is fascist. Indonesia = IndoNazia
