Following police investigations into slavery, a Thamesholmian Constabulary Force spec ops battalion combined with a bomber squadron (supposed to be on standby) and the Thamesholmian Air Force Security Forces (both Air Force groups deployed by order of Air Marshal Cleopatra Smith) had been deployed to a Traveller camp.
A platoon of Air Force Security Forces personnel rushed into the camp, accused Travellers inside of attacking them and started shooting members of the O’Connor family, they then started trying to identify “misogynists and Catholics” in the group and detaining them, shooting any who didn’t comply.
By the end of the day, 499 Travellers (199 of them being members of the O’Connor family), a police Constable and two other people (as in people who were neither Travellers nor police Constables) were dead, 150 Travellers were in police custody and 100 Travellers had their whereabouts unknown.
In addition, 398 people were found to have been “living in conditions of slavery”, the Air Force has been giving responsibility for “transporting these people to freedom” in safe-houses, they are supposed to be given normal council accommodation when investigations are concluded.
