Afghanistan - Contractors and Miltiamen Shoot Down Koran Protesters

It is noticeable that some of the 'Afghan Police' (so described) shooting into the crowd in this clip appear to be westerners in civilian clothes. Even the Afghans look like militiamen. Is there no semblance of official order or authority anywhere in Afghanistan?

    Whoever they are, they're about to experience the brutal realities of disproportionate force and low-intensity violence. U.S./Afghan soldiers are caught in a catch 22: must ceasefire to slow protests, also use force to repel protesters from bases.

    That's a point. As the protests extend, some kind of critical escalation might build up. Where then for NATO?

    U.S./NATO might leave sooner than later.
    Of course some military installations in the frontier will still stand.
    Mostly Air Force/CIA posts.
