Utah Rave Busted by Heavily Armed Police
Organizers of a Drum n Bass party outside of Salt Lake City, Utah had
their proceedings shut down violently by police and the Utah National
Guard over the weekend. Rather than ride up with a handful of
cops to unplug the soundsystem (the logical way to kill any party,) the
authorities swarmed the crowd with a helicopter, men in camoflage
uniforms carrying machine guns, and police dogs.Reports from the event detail heavy-handed and violent tactics used by
the cops to subdue and arrest party-goers, and the stories are
beginning to surface online along with video and pictures. The
cops contend that the organizers didn't have the required permits for
the party, something the promoter denies.
