Not only does that say something about their own approach to solidarity, but actively trying to harm the working conditions of other state employees could never have ended up harming the police in the long term, could it? Wonder what would happen if the police went on strike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Astonishing to me how virtually everyone on this thread thinks one party is entirely at fault to the detriment of the other party. There are shades of grey in this but any debate is stifled by one party ridiculing the other.... -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Do you need to have been there to form an opinion? It’s the fact that debate is being stifled that I’m pointing out. You can form an opinion, but to genuinely believe there are no shades of grey is wrong. No one in their right mind cannot be sympathetic to the cause, but technically it was an illegal gathering whether people are willing to accept it or otherwise. i suspect the police were heavy handed but as I said I wasn’t there to understand any causes or perceived justifications.... -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was an illegal gathering but the punishment for that is a fine, not getting battered. The police way overstepped the mark here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're entitled to post your opinion just as much I'm entitled to think you're a bootlicking moron. This is the free speech thing you've probably convinced yourself has been stifled by "the left". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure the justification exists for the bits I've seen. It would have been better to stand back. If speakers were causing a problem, discretely pull the plug. If it was a few agitators, there's techniques to deal with them. It's poor communication and very poor execution of control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's poor communication and very poor execution of control.As I said, there are faults in many aspects of this.It certainly appears from the small clips we have seen that there was heavy handedness. It would be good to hear what caused the police to adopt such an approach before forming a firm conclusion though.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
