They were just doing their jobs because some idiot gave them an order. They had to follow it if they wanted to keep their paycheck. Now, idiots are actually picking fights with them.
Why scum? Here is why.
Until yesterday, I wouldn't have said that. Honestly, I used to believe most BBB fans were just troublemakers and that the police and SWAT teams were the least to blame for any incident.
But then you hear stuff like, "Back off or we will use force!" followed by endless replies of, "Sir, please don't use force!" Then there are threats toward women and girls. It honestly feels like they are trying to provoke a fight. I have zero interest in fighting. If I wanted to scrap, I’d go to a boxing gym, not a handball game.
I know they aren't responsible for the security lapse itself. Still, that kind of arrogant, cocky behavior is wrong. It's ridiculous. They acted like they were defending an arena from hardened criminals instead of women and children who just wanted to watch a game.
Hopefully, it's a bit clearer now why I used that word.
