At least 125 people have been killed in a riot at a football match in Indonesia, most of whom were trampled to death after police fired tear gas, in one of the world's worst stadium disasters.
Sky News.

Eighteen police officers have been placed under investigation. Nine of them have been suspended.

On a news clip I saw at least one police officer kicking a football fan who was lying on the ground.

The police are, in some respects, just another tribe in Indonesia. The airforce and the army are tribes too. They fight with each other over things like the nightclubs they control etc. The police looking up into stadiums containing the trash elements in a football crowd are just one tribe looking at another tribe, itching, to varying degrees, for a fight. And when they do, there's nothing Queensberry about it.
