A massacre here... a massacre there...

Once again, the Supreme Commanders Palace was under seige by protestors, once again, R-SWAT (the riot control arm of the Red Tidean Police SWAT Team) was called in. But this time it was slightly different in one crucial aspect, there were foreign reporters there. The protestors were waving their cude signs with horrid remarks about Red Tides leniancy with the Tech-Com Corporation and the Red Tide Mafia.

The R-SWAT Teams stood on both sides of the protestors, who were staring down the Consortium Armored Regiment that guarded the Supreme Commanders Palace, billycludbs in their right hand, bullet proof Riot Shields in their left, the R-SWAT Officers locked shields and marched forward in a straight line. The crowds roared angrily, knowing what was coming next, they began to throw stones at the Officers. As soon as the first stone was thrown, the crime was changed from opposition of the goverment and rioting(a protest not approved by the Red Tidean Goverment was considered a riot) to Assualt of Figure of Authority... and in Red Tide that was a crime which warranted execution on the spot.

Strapped to the back of each R-SWAT Officer was a M-50 Submachinegun, the shields were lowered, the billy clubs disappeared, and the SMGs swung up. There was a brief silence that was punctured only by the sound of safeties clicking off. Then the crowd went hysterical, some picking up stones to throw at the R-SWAT Officers, some people began to try to get out, some certified hunters began to take out .22 caliber pistols. Then the Officers opened up.

They were firing fully automatic, at the hip, from a distance of about 30 meters. The effects were horrendous, people ran every which way, those who didnt die in the first 30 rounds sprayed from each SMG were trampled to death by the frenzied crowds. The Officers reloaded and began again, it was then that the certified hunters in the crowd opened up with .22 bullets... most of which bounced harmlessely off of the R-SWATs body armor, but a bullet made contact with one officers face. Said face became a bloody mess as the bullet lodged itself into the officers brain. The officers kept on firing, as did the hunters, by now, out of 5,000 protestors, approximately 1,000 lay dead or dying. But more and more bullets kept making contact with the officers face. After about 500 more protestors fell, and 40 more Officers, the R-SWAT Teams couldnt take it any more, they broke and ran. The now angry protestors raced towards the walls of the Supreme Commanders Palace... seeing the R-SWAT Officers running away, the Current Gaurd Armored Regiment was given authorization to subdue the protest.

On the Cermet walls that surrounded the Supreme Commanders Palace, Current Gaurd Shocktroopers took their positions. Soon AR-4 Carbine Assault Rifles and M-200 Light Machine Guns were cutting into the protestors. The protestors reached the walls only to find the main gate closed, vainly they tried to search for a backway... but were cut down mercilessely to a few hundred. The last few surrendered.

However, all of it was caught by the aforementioned international news team, the Red Tidean Goverment never issued the statement, but the news aired on the international news networks anyways.

(OOC: I would have put one up earlier, but it would have been one applauding the incident)

The Totalitarian Military State of The Kraven Corporation

We Applaude you on the way your Forces handled the situation, however your forces could have been more effective, upon watching to footage we noticed that your firing patterns and Squad configurations were inappropriate for the situation, further more your R-SWAT teams ran away after only sustaining Fourty casualties, when in reality they could have sustained much higher losses and still maintained combat effectiveness, your Armour needs to be re-evaluated if your Soldiers and Police Officers cannot be protected from .22 Pistols.

We Suggest the following:

1 - Create a Paramilitary Police force or Secret Police, to root out these protestors, and Ensure that this does not happen again.

2 - Re-evaluate the Armour worn by your R-SWAT members.

3 - Adopt a Civil Law Doctrine stating that any form of protest is Illegal.

Only until you have Completed our Suggestions will your nation ever truely be free from the Tyranny of Mass Protesting and Civil Disobidence.

[ooc: I'm in the same quandary, sorry. Especially considering that I not only do this myself frequently, but much better than you. A TP battalion once performed SIT III as a form of execution for each one of 14,000 protestors (the Fanatic camps had a surplus at that time)...]

Official Imperial Responce

We applaud Red Tide2's actions in this time. Sometimes, even drastic measures must be used to keep one's populace in line. However, we would recommend in the future imprisonment in internment camps rather than execution as a suitable punishment for such lawbreakers and terrorists, to avoid the international backlash. If you wish the Imperium can deploy a team of engineers and scientists to help you construct camps that can hold up to 40,000 prisoners each, to be used as cheap labour or soldiers in times of war.

We will stand by Red Tide2 if the international community seeks hostile action against it.

Oh boy another massacre of civilians, while we are a FT nation. We are going to be the (perhaps only nation with the capacity to cite such a condemnations) one who damns your nation for your attack on civilians. As a matter of fact we give you the middle finger award for being jackasses.

Official Reply From Red Tide Goverment To Kraven Corporation
"We thank you on helpful notes towards our administration and thank you for your support, however we would like to point a few things out.

'1 - Create a Paramilitary Police force or Secret Police, to root out these protestors, and Ensure that this does not happen again.'

We have long ago formed this sort of law enforcement agency, which we call the Intellegince-Consortium, becuase it rolls the abilities of a Intellegince Agency, Federal Agency, and, as you put it, 'Secret Police' Agency into one. We will grant you that these are more geared towards stamping out individual protestors, as well as terrorist and spies... they also help keep our high ranking officers in the military, police and their comrades in the Intellegince-Consortium from getting any ideas. They are not geared towards putting down these riots, in order to prevent fture incidents, we are forming a new arm of our Intellegince-Consortium to combat mass protests.

'2 - Re-evaluate the Armour worn by your R-SWAT members.'

That is being accomplished as we speak, however, ballistics have determined that none of the shots penetrated the armor of the R-SWAT Officers, the only bullets that actually did anything were those that made contact with the face. Apparently we need to be stricter in issuing our hunting liscenses. We are also considering equipping our R-SWAT Teams with the same armored gas masks our military uses. Also, the R-SWAT Officers who ran are being punished for cowardice, abandonment of duty, and so on.

'3 - Adopt a Civil Law Doctrine stating that any form of protest is Illegal.'

This has already been implemented. All protests not authorzed by the Goverment are to be considered as riots, rioting in Red Tide is illegal period.

Once again we thank you for these reccomendations."

Official Reply To Banduria From Red Tidean Goverment
"We are glad to see the Bandurians again. and once again we are on the 'same track' as some countries like to say. However, we already have institutions that hold people who protest against the goverment, had these people simply not assualted the police men, they would not have died. We plan to ship the most of these individuals away to the Western Wastelands. Those who are pysically fit for military duty will be 'processed' into the service, as we are enacting an enlargement of our military, we need all the recruits we can get."

OOC: I would comment, but since we're pretty much the same way(if not worse), it wouldn't be a condemnation either. The international community seems to have given up on the poor populations under these regimes. Ah well, I'd better go impale some political prisoners in the capital. ^_~
