Here are some interesting points:

-60 people arrested out of 3000+. thats less than 2%. I'm sure if you go to a Grateful Dead, Dave Matthews, or even a Rolling Stones concert the percentage of people with drugs would be just as high. However, they do not get busted.

-Security was busted with drugs. Umm, weren't they the ones confescating it?

-He hired medical staff just to ensure the safety of the people.

-The police sent people home who were obviously intoxicated. They had 2 choices "Go home or be arrested". Personally i would risk the drive home than be hassled by a man with an M16 in my face.

-Excessive force. Yes it is necessary to use certain tactics against unruly crowds, but a crowd of kids dancing? No.

-The article posted in the paper leaves out the permits the man had for the people there.

Check if people are 21 and over? They weren't serving alcohol so there is no reason too.

Check for drugs? They did, doesn't mean they will get everyone.

Weapons? Same deal.

I don't think they took to the necessary approach to weed out the scum at the show. The best thing they could of done I guess is to have some local police at the show instead of wasting tons of tax dollars and using excessive on this piss poor raid.
