It's the same argument that far right arseholes use when they start talking about sinking dinghies in the Channel. If you want to fly with those crows, crack on. I don’t know why you are bringing the far right into this, all I’m seeing on twitter today is pictures of Fanta head being arrested with captions like “what has this country come to?” The police are specifically supposed to break up mass gatherings at this particularly time and you can quite clearly see scuffles with the police taking place and when you scuffle with the police you get lifted - it’s almost as if the police have resorted to arresting people for breaking the law. if it makes you feel any better ginger nuts will be out of police custody by now and will be posting her story on tik tok in a few hours. -14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much.

Benjamin_Nevis Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 It turned into a protest when the crowd started chanting “arrest your own” to the police though. Tbf you can understand the Police getting upset at being asked to do something a bit more challenging than beating up women and minorities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 15 minutes ago, ICTChris said: Well I obviously don’t and I think there were a few of the cranks who show up to every protest there. But the event was advertised and publicised as a vigil, thousands of flowers and tributes were placed. It was hardly set up for a confrontation or violence. Well I’m sure it wasn’t set up for a confrontation but the crowds clearly turned on the police who were trying to disperse the crowd which is their job during this pandemic. Scuffles broke out because certain attendees got upset that a police officer had carried out this murder and that he wasn’t arrested for indecent exposure 2 weeks ago and when you fight with the police you get cuffed for it. All this outrage about the police wanting to go in and truncheon f**k out of women at a vigil like something out of a George Orwell novel is absolute shite. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the MET have more bodies. According to pals who are in the police, the numbers up here are fairly thin on the ground and they seem to have a lot of long term sick at any one time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not their only job though is it, they have to police responsibility the responsible thing to do last night was to keep the vigil within Clapham Common keep the roads clear of attendees. I think it could be argued that if they had tried to disperse the crowd at midnight by addressing the crowd from a PA and sending some officers into the crowd, not to issue tickets but to speak to people and convince them to leave then we wouldn't be in this situation this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been stopped by traffic police on duty, they thought my door window tints were illegal at the front (they were, I bought the car like that and had no idea they were even tinted, never mind it was illegal). One was a massive c**t, who's started kicking my wheels while checking the tyres and revving the arse of my car to "see if the exhaust was blowing", while the other was sound, asked me to follow them to the station so they could check the tints and told the other boy to stop fucking about with my car. Maybe just a "good cop/bad cop" in action though. Either way I think it's just your luck really. Know 2 other ones who are off duty when I see them, and both are sound enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their job is to break up mass gatherings in line with government guidelines and from the footage from last night you can clearly see them allowing it to go ahead peacefully for a time, they then want to disperse the crowd and a few angry individuals get upset about it as the murder was carried out by a polis who wasn’t locked up for his indecent exposure a week previous and it gets a bit ugly. The entire thing would have been preventable if people had just dispersed slightly like the police had asked. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit tiring at times but some folk live for it. They’ll be on to the next one before you know it. It was Meghan last week. This week it’s the death of a woman at the hands of a policeman. Soon it’ll be something else. I suppose we always need some new serious topics in General Nonsense to get outraged about. It can’t all be Chess matches and ICTChris stories about some bloke getting caught wanking on a Zoom meeting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
