Is there a list of local actions for this weekend anywhere?

Remember the Home Secretary was raging at A&S Plod for how they policed the Colston thing last summer. Can imagine that they're now trying to show they're not a soft touch after all

Imagine if they went in like they have done. It would have been carnage and they were sensible not too.

Mrs i_hate_beckham and I went to College Green to watch from behind police lines. Fast forward a few hours and we are sat about 3 rows back from the riot police chanting. We went home when it started to rain as we both have jobs that it would not look good if we were nicked so decided to call it a night. I live next to Portland Square and the police helicopter was above my flat until after midnight. We didn't realise the protest had moved to there. Might have gone back out had I known.

Going for the "poor horsies" approach now I see.

That's not really covered with paint

Most of it seems to be on the, er, horse straps? I don't know the precise term. I can't say it looks particularly distressed either.

I expect the officer with paint on his boot has gone down as having had his foot amputated.

From the mouth of the Gloucester Police Federation chair. This one openly admits that the police don't exist to protect the general public.

Bit on the nose a copper throwing around the word ‘consent’ like it's an old crisp wrapper, given recent events.

Definitely the kind of person who would slam dunk a full-on “And technically a tomato is a fruit not a vegetable, so you lose!!!” on a kid during a family quiz.

Ouch.

Ammonia too, wonder if snooker balls are next Police told to wear protective clothing after 'ammonia smelt'

 

[DaveCinzano]

Of course, you can always rely on a gobshite Fed rep to parrot the boss-cop line in situations like these, right up to the point of pushing provably false claims, even

Remembering Hillsborough: The guilty have names and faces (i) Paul Middup

Following the publication yesterday of the Hillsborough Independent Panel’s report on the Hillsborough Disaster of 15 April 1989, it is worth looking at some of the key figures who conspired …

Possibly re this episode of four coppers doing their best to confront the hell out of a photographer?

Don't forget USED SYRINGES!!! and/or DARTS!!!, both evidence-untroubled claims which I personally heard used in Magistrates in 1997, then repeated in the local rag, then mysteriously dropped and forgotten about and never mentioned again.

"confronted" lol

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Ouch.

Predictably enough, the Internet Bruise Detectives are coming out in droves. "no way that bruise is from yesterday, let me show you this chart I googled, checkmate libs"

Fascinating to watch ex-SB lifer Chris Hobbs stalking the Kingston #KillTheBill protest.




Hobbsie is a veteran spycop apologist (“I'm not an apologist but...”) who previously expressed that he is firmly of the belief that you are guilty until proven innocent (“any newly formed protest group would need to be closely monitored until its propensity for violence or lack of it could be established”).

 

[DaveCinzano]

He's also previously claimed that Special Branch was 'monitoring' Combat 18 a full year prior to Stephen Lawrence being murdered - that is to say, a few months at most after its founding, or possibly only weeks or since its foundation. Which doesn't really bode well for the effectiveness of MPSB's efforts against the violent far right.
