12-08-26 Dispatch from Zion Square: August 26, 2012; ~4:00-5:00 am – continued violence and refusal of the Israel Police to restore public peace and welfare.

The situation in the Square, by the opinions of other regulars in the Square as well, represents serious escalation of violence, apparently by choice of the Israel Police.
 

~ 04:30am - the police then stopped a couple of Jewish youths, apparently as suspect participants in the conduct, and started arguing with them, while the police were sitting in the car, and the Jewish youths standing outside their front window.  The Jewish youths started yelling at the police, and the police then let them go.

Zion Square, Jerusalem, August 26 - disorderly conduct in Zion Square, Jerusalem continues, as does Israel Police refusal to establish public peace and welfare:

·  ~ 04:00am, while there was no uniformed police in the Square, a group of Jewish youth started fighting in the Square.  Then one of the them started running away towards Rav Kook St, with some 10 others chasing him. 

·  I called police, complaining about violence in Zion Square.

·  Some 10 minutes later, police car came rolling in on Jaffa Rd.

·  ~ 04:30am - the police then stopped a couple of Jewish youths, apparently as suspect participants in the conduct, and started arguing with them, while the police were sitting in the car, and the Jewish youths standing outside their front window.  The Jewish youths started yelling at the police, and the police then let them go.

·  Two minutes later, police were gone.

·  ~ 04:35am - some 5 minutes later, a procession of Russian orthodox priests, nuns, and lay persons crossed the Square.

·  ~ 05:00am - groups of drunk, rowdy Jewish youths are roaming the Square, ambulance arrived, no uniformed police in sight.

ANNOTATIONS:
1) Some of the Jewish youths involved were old enough to be indistinguishable from undercover police or operated affiliates.
2) I am yet to see a situation that police stop Arabs in the Square,  as suspects in involvement in violence, or any other reason, while police remain in the car, the Arabs remain outside, the Arabs argue with  police, and  get away with  it...
3) I am yet to see a Russian Orthodox nun or priest crossing the Square by ones, particularly after dark.  The fact that they only move in groups is likely to be related to security procedures that they had to implement.  Recently you also see nuns walking with big dogs, or sticks.
4) It was Saturday night, again - with no uniformed police in sight.   Police is determined in its refusal for over a year, through murder, serious  violent attacks and disorder, not to position uniformed police at nights on  the  weekends.
5) The situation in the Square, by the opinions of other regulars in the Square as well, represents serious escalation of violence, apparently by choice of the Israel Police.
