The police deliberately set off the fire alarm. The police began moving towards the back door, which has a big red sign saying 'ALARMED' on it. When asked where they were going, the police replied, "To get some fresh air." They were then politely asked to leave by the front entrance, since the back doors were alarmed. The policemen replied, "Yeah, I know" and continued to walk toward the alarmed door. A handful of people attempted to stop them. This scenario could not be communicated back to the rest of the meeting, or the facilitators, due to all the commotion, with policeman grabbing people's necks, and causing a ruckus. Just as a message did get to the facilitators, which was about to be relayed to the rest of the meeting, the police got through and opened the fire exit door, setting off the alarm and disrupting the meeting. But not for long! It has since emerged what was happening with the “small minority engaging with scuffles with the police”.
