The Spin

Narrative A

This tragedy isn't an accident but a grave crime. If the police hadn't over-responded to the playing field surge by fans, this bloodbath wouldn't have occurred. An independent investigation will ensure that the truth will come out – preventing police cover-ups – and those responsible will be held accountable.

The Jakarta Post

Narrative B

This is a deeper structural problem in Indonesia. Though needed, investigating police actions and holding those responsible accountable isn't enough. Police aren't equipped or trained to deal properly with soccer crowds, despite fans having an infamously violent culture. On top of that, Indonesia's sports facilities lack standard security protocols. A deeper review needs to happen.
