Who ya gonna call ... when the cops stage a riot?

Haaretz - Israel News - PA police officers break into parliament, firing into air:

"The storming came one day after fierce clashes between police and Hamas in Gaza City and the nearby Shati refugee camp, during which Hamas gunmen attacked the local police station with assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades. The camp's deputy police chief, Ali Makawi, was killed in the fighting."

The disturbance came as the Palestinian Authority (PA) parliament voted 43-5 to endorse "a parliamentary committee's report criticizing [Prime Minister Ahmed] Qureia's cabinet for its handling of factional anarchy."

Just a reminder that Iraq is not the only place in the Middle East where terrorists make it especially dangerous to be a policeman.
