July 9 protest, police brutality?

I have heard that on July 9 there was a protest in the airport area by a group of construction workers.

My sources say that police brutality was employed in arresting the protesters, and as a result the police confiscated the cell phones of onlookers and deleted any pictures they may have taken of the event.

Did anyone here witness this? Has anyone heard about it or seen any pictures?

Don't ask for a meal.

Don't ask for a bed to sleep.

don't ask for wages that were promised to you.

Don't complain about cruel treatment from your employer.

Don't pretend that you are a human being, and everything will be OK.

What? Do you think we have the ACLU here?

Act right and don't cause public disturbances and the police won't strike you.
