Jakarta's Checkpoints: Police or New Tourist Attraction?
Jakarta police have swung into action by establishing checkpoints across the city, apparently preparing for 'further demonstrations' that, by official reports, may or may not actually exist yet. Nothing says 'weāre ready' quite like setting up roadblocks without announcing the protest date, location, or cause. Meanwhile, commuters enjoy the scenic detour past police barricades because who doesnāt love a surprise slowdown? The authoritiesā tactical prowess suggests that peace in the capital is currently sponsored by wait-and-see tactics. Checkpoints: the only thing more organized than the demonstrations themselves, attracting fewer supporters but plenty of bewildered motorists.
