Los eventos en La Plaza de las tres culturas me recuerdan del incidente de Tianaman Square de 1989 en China. Aunque México no es un país comunista los oficiales mexicanos en esta época hicieron el error de mandar el ejército para una situación que era actualmente una misión para los policías. Este equivocado es común en países democráticos y autocráticos también. En los Estados Unidos el episodio en la Universidad de Kent State en Ohio era similar de Tlatelolco pero con menos casualidades. Un ejército es un instrumento de fuerza intensiva y el gobierno debe usar tropas cuando los policías no pueden controlar la situación.

Another example of the U.S. government use of excessive force was the operation on the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco, Texas. David Koresh and his followers weren't exactly demonstrators in the sense of the student movement in Mexico but they were aa protest movement of sorts inclined to criminal activity. Never the less, there were people, particularly children in the compound being held against their will. The federal law enforcement agencies should have put this reality at the forefront of their plans to arrest Koresh and continued to negotiate with the church leaders hold up in the compound. A classic mistake in this type of law enforcement is to allow pressure from negative media exposure to overly influence decisions by the federal agents that lead to a military style operation that is in effect a police action.
