The situation in Kavala last night was not ideal. There was one officer in Kavala with two trainees when I arrived. There were damaged vehicles everywhere and I was shot at pretty much as soon as I arrived.
Once the shooters were dealt with, there was a mass of people trolling at the car shop. Anyone who gave verbal abuse or was trolling was restrained as we tried to clear the area. This is due to the fundemental server rules of 'no trolling.' I'm confident that the vast majority of people restrained and subsequently arrested were guilty of trolling, something that can result in a server ban. The decision to jail people was made in an effort to clear the chaos from Kavala, and this did in fact work.
There were nearly 10 people banned last night due to RDM, VDM and trolling.
The simple solution to people complaining about being arrested etc in these situations is pretty simple; if you see a massive troll going on, stay away from it and don't get involved. When there are four police officers and 20+ people trolling, it is very hard for the police to differenciate between who is and isn't trolling.
The police are not out of control at all, four officers managed to clear Kavala of that mess last night, and I stand by the decision that was made to arrest people. It cleared the area and allowed us to stop the shooters and collect their weapons.
Like I said, people were banned last night and I think this is a good step towards stopping these situations from happening again. You can't troll on this server, it is a bannable offence. Same goes with RDM, VDM, un-declared rebel attacks etc. If you see these kinds of things going on, report them and then stay away from the situation.
Finally, if I remember correctly, the man who complained about being jailed for 'throwing a glow stick' last night and on this post was actually guilty of shooting police officers, so no, you weren't jailed for 'throwing a glow stick.'
