Thread: G20 Protests

It was mentioned on tv the other night, that it was strange that the coppers seemed more intent on stopping the peaceful protests than they did stopping the blokes smashing the bank windows. This post has been edited by Jon : Yesterday, 08:18 AM

QUOTE(Jon @ Apr 9 2009, 10:43 PM) Didn't Jean Charles de Menezes get 'restrained' using 'reasonible force'? hmmmmmmmmmm, and I recall a number of instances in Northern Ireland where unreasonable force was considered 'reasonable'. Oh God, that video is going to replay in my head for days now.

Well, I was there, and I know what I saw. Police provocation against a non-violent demonstation.

The pushy copper has been suspended prior to the cover-up. My kids (9 and 11) were appalled when they saw the coverage...You try not to indoctrinate your kids...but then the state does it for you. ACAB! (All Coppers Are Bastards.)

There has been a shift in recent years. In the UK, the police have always been in place to uphold the law but, even by the politicians, they are now often described as "law enforcement", a terrible American term (and we all know how easy going THEY are...). The difference between "uphold" and "enforce" is immense. The first indicates a responsibility to support existing law should it need...
