NOT until "people power" emerge, the Police and Satpol will be showing their teeth, like dogs to cats!

Convert the nightclub into a day club for people to use. That's what I'd do.

Chris, they enjoy destroying things. Autism in adults creeping in?

We know there's a lot of underlying 'messages' behind all of these burning, attacking, destroying, and so on.

People just have had enough, from any which way you can see it. Yep. It's anarchy time. But SBY and the house of representatives are all too busy with god knows what...

They destroyed the whole building? What a waste. Just close the club, and a new tenant can take over right? What's up with this urge to destroy things lately?

Bogor. While it was a nightclub raid, it was not related to the violation of operating hours regulations during the fasting month of Ramadan.

There was pushing and shoving between members of the Bogor Police and the Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) and 10 workers of a nightclub in Bogor, West Java, on Tuesday.

The workers were trying to prevent the authorities from demolishing the club.

Police told television station RCTI that the club had to be demolished because it had been operating without any legal permits.

A standoff occurred when police and Satpol PP arrived on location.

The club workers formed a human barricade in front of the building and refused to disperse.

When the officers kept trying to break through the barrier, the workers responding by pushing and shoving.

Realizing that they were outnumbered, the workers finally disbanded their human barricade, but continued to shout profanities at the authorities.

The police and Satpol PP officers used heavy machinery to turn the club building to rubble within hours.
