We always have problems regarding some activities/programs held in public places where "crazy/idiot" people makes trouble during the show.It is important then that police shall make a post in the area in order to watch over the crowd.But how is it possible that they didnt caught even 1 person who made the blast during the "Amateur Contest"? Are the police also idiots?C'mon,thats your duty officers...Don't just carry those guns with you but you have to be very smart and must move quickly!!
