"...and so, to conclude. You are now under the administration of the Sappilaista Integraatioviranomaista (Sappa Integration Authority). We will do our utmost to ensure this transition is a peaceful and prosperous one. Please return to your homes. More information will be posted tomorrow."
As the bureaucrat stepped down the podium, the people watching grew ever frustrated. Rocks had started getting thrown at the stage, along with shouts and threats from the enraged Sappa. The bureaucrat ducked behind a line of Harmajaan guards, armed with riot gear -- shields and batons. They stood around him as he approached the vehicle that would be taking him to HQ. The Sappa pushed against the line menacingly and the shouting grew more fierce. From somewhere, a gunshot rang out, and one of the Sappa screamed, clutching his chest. The crowd grew more chaotic as people ran in all directions. The bureaucrat was in his car and driving away as the Harmajaan guards worked to contain the violence.
Two hours later, twenty-seven arrests were made. Three guards were injured, one seriously. Thirteen Sappa were injured as well, and one, the man who had been shot, had died. None of the Harmajaans were supposed to have been armed with guns, so it was uncertain where the bullet had come from, but that did not matter.
It was clear this would not be a smooth transition
