Today at approx. 16:00 gmt, Omni-Pol officers crashed a pajama party hosted by DJ Tarryk as it was just getting under way at The Rompa bar. They declared that the clan intruders were to exit the city immidiatly, while taking Tarryk and other clan members inside hostage.
Officers also attempted to arrest Methlon, leader of the Sinister Anarchists, for voicing his opinions of Omni-Tek oppression. After refusing to comply with the orders of Omni-Pol, Methlon was quickly and brutally assasinated by several shock troopers in battle suits, triggering a brief civil war between Omni-Pol, upset Omni citizens and clan forces who came to the rescue of their fellows. Omni-Pol police then opened fire on both clanners and rioting Omni citizens in the area and a bloodbath ensued for about half and hour. The resistance was finally quelled due to the overwhelming rescources of Omni-Pol.
During the skirmish, a large number of onlookers (many of omni Entertainments own citizens) shouted their frustration about the apparent lack of justice present and the high levels of oppression enforced by local police. While the fighting ensued Tarryk was assaulted by Omni police while trying to flee the area.
While several people agree with Omni-Pols actions, the incident undoubtedly tarnished the reputation of Omni-Tek for many others. Methlon, the person held responsible for causing the incident, attempted to stop the violence by surrendering, but Omni-Pol was no longer interested in that it seemed. They had done their bloody buisness and dispersed after killing an undisclosed amount of clan and omni people who were to peacfully attend the pajama party.
Top members of SA went to Omni HQ to voice their opinion, where they were met by Division9 members who justified the actions of the police, saying all who do not comply with Omni policy will be regared as criminals and possibly cast out of Omni territories. It seems that Omni-Pols motive for the attack was to simply enforce its absolute power and remove the clan elements who were considered not welcome.
Labeled by many as traitors, The Sinister Anarchists consider these heavy-handed tactics to be part of an ever increasing attempt by Omni-Tek to rule through fear and totalitarian govornment, and that Omni-Tek shows no sign that it desires to make peace with the clans. They are well known for standing up in the name of the oppressed of Rubi-ka for both Omni and clan citizens.
