I don't know if it's right to arrest someone like this, but sometimes situations can be difficult and complicated. The police must do their job, but also respect citizens' rights in any case.
The Castellammare incident is deeply troubling, but it's important for the police to act in dangerous situations. However, there are always legal and rights issues to consider, especially when arrests are made. A balance is needed.
