The most interesting thing for me was the assertion by the authorities that this was perfectly normal behaviour for military forces. All quite normal and usual, nothing out of the ordinary going on here - move along folks.

This is the most troubling thing.

It begs the question, if this isn't anything unusual how many regular civilians who do not happen to have the support of a major organisation like Reuters are being routinely blasted by brain-dead jerk-offs with big 'bam bam'?
