I have a friend who lives near Rabaa Adawia Square where the sit-in of the Muslim Brotherhood was held. His name is Eng. Hatem Fouda. He told me that the dispersal of Rabaa Adawia was violent indeed. He added that there were many other ways to disperse it peacefully like prevent other people and food from entering the sit-in. We could have cut off power and water..etc. This way we could have avoided many bad reports of human rights organizations that the Muslim Brotherhood has been trading on ever since. Also, we could have avoided many losses among the security forces as well. This is how my friend thinks.
However, I totally disagree with him as this was the only way to disperse the sit-in fast. Taking too much time would have given the protesters a chance to attack security forces at any time. Furthermore, Mohamed El Baradei was then in office and would have done anything to prevent such dispersal as he was working to restore the Muslim Brotherhood in power. He never cared for the suffering of many people living in the neighborhood.
I would say that police have already committed a crime when many leaders and terrorists of the Muslim Brotherhood were allowed through safe exit pathways giving them a chance to plan for terrorist attacks and violent demonstrations.
Moreover, many of those terrorists are now living in Qatar and using its media to defame Egypt all over the world.
Police have committed a crime when it allowed those terrorists to attack about a hundred churches and set them on fire in addition to many police stations, public and private properties. In short, dealing with terrorists is different from dealing with normal people.
