"Iraqi police confront an angry crowd of civilians who advance on them shouting and chanting. They refuse to withdraw until police feel their safety is compromised and open fire into the crowd. Another day in the sandbox."
In other words, the police did their job. Without non-lethal weapons, lethal is the only option that they have (especially when the "civilians" are themselves armed with automatic weapons). And the lethal option had the intended effect. The uncivilized malcontents got their asses handed to them and I don't don't think they'll be trying that again. Otherwise, we may have seen quite a few more people killed in the resulting mod violence, which they would then feel they had license to repeat.
It isn't pretty to look at, but this was, overall, a success.

Like the Iraqi police don't already have enough to deal with.

(1) What were they protesting about?
(2) Them suckers need to put glue on their feet to hold the camel hide sandals. Ragheads must have dirty feet.

Maybe respecting law and order will make the protests a little more peaceful... ah... the sweetness of serenity. Are we not all one in the eyes of a front sight my brethren? Do you get 72 virgos instead when you get shot by one of your own for being a dumb ass?
