My family and I were in an off base apartment complex close to the back gate of Kadena, far enough away from the heavy duty action that all we heard were sirens blaring all night long. The three other families living there were all sky cops, so we would have been pretty secure if things had gotten frisky in our neighborhood. I had a two year old son and a newborn daughter at the time. A few days before, or maybe after that incident, the base commander at Kadena manned a 2 inch hose along with the base firefighters to clear a path through a line of demonstrators who were attempting to block Gate 1.
