Reports of arrests are always worrying, but in this case they seem justified. It is important that the police do their job and protect the community, even if there are mistakes in the management of the measures.
Yes, it is true that arrests are necessary, but we must also consider that people can make mistakes. The law must be fair and just for everyone, without differences between nationalities.
I don't know if it's right to judge only by the crimes committed. Sometimes there are stories behind people we don't know and it would be better to understand before making accusations.
