BLOCK PARTY 2013
It was on Saturday, April 20th that the "Bear Cat" was called in to take upon some action on the holiday known to BU students as Block Part. Many groups of friends, students and vistiors were outside the entire day trying to enjoy the lovely Saturday. At first, there were only police on horses watching the students just having an innocent good time. That was Police department took things to a completely different level.
The Police then called in the Bloomsburg SWAT Team. The SWAT truck had come out and parked in the middle of Fetterman, right next to the crowds of kids enjoying the sun. As the SWAT team and the truck were parked on Fettterman, everyone just continued to have a nice and safe time.
However, that was before the SWAT team sat in their expensive and luxorious tank and started to throw TEAR GAS at INNOCENT students who were in no way harming any other person or thing.
It didn't seem like the first bomb was enough, so the SWAT team sent out another and another and another. Makes a lot of sense to tear gas the students and visitors of BU for staying outside and listening to music?
The scary attire of the SWAT team coming out in double file lines with enormous shields and masks covering their faces frightened many Block Party goers.
The SWAT team continued throughout the day to MASEkids, tear gas, and to shoot rubber bullets at students and visitors.
Although the Police Department, and Swat team tried to rain on Block Party goer's fiesta, there was zero chance that could've ever happened!
First of all, intoxicated people were causing public disruptions and threatening police officers, causing Bloomsburg's reaction to bring in the SWAT team. None of the people 'continued to enjoy a nice and safe time", as many of the students were intoxicated, and were causing damage and disruptions to others.
