It really isn’t bollocks tbf. It’s a tactic to smear.
Me and a friend did go over to college green this afternoon. I think we were there too early. then walked over to Castle Park. Was kind of a carnival atmosphere around there to be honest. Except for a van driver beeping getting the hump as he was stuck. that was under the bridge thing near Castle Park. Police got the crowd back and he drove through. then it flared up a bit when it seemed someone got on a bus stop and the chanting raised. police van reversed back down the road. But all seemed to fisel out. We were quite far back, and went home before anything really kicked off anyway.

There's been at least one time in recent memory where a police vehicle was set alight and pictures of it being "towed to the scene" were shown to be nonsense, so it's good to be wary of such claims tbf.

Yes, doing what they do - building up mass, creating a cordon with reserves and capacity for movement without compromising communication lines, with spotters, evidence gatherers (seen in some pictures on the first floor) etc all coming into position, and serial commanders no doubt in direct contact with Bronze.
Meanwhile Gold is probably back in Portishead and making use of reporting from roaming PSUs, as well as helicopter and CCTV camera feeds, an OSINT team monitoring social media, an intelligence cell dealing with phone data tracking, and so on.
And when it is easiest to pick off one, two, a bunch of people, they will attempt to do so, with maximum force.

2011 March for the Alternative (London) it happens. This isn’t conspiracy nonsense.

I don't doubt it happens, but no evidence so far to suggest this van was sacrificed willingly.

It matters not tbh, Bristol torched it.

Exactly, 10/10 burn. Not having naysayers trying to imply "Oh well that was easy, it was just a staged prop"

Yes, not going to run in and start twatting people without orders.

In footage I've seen there's certainly a few long shields that have been mislaid.

Anecdotally, the idea the burning cop van is an establishment conspiracy seems to have proper taken a grip. It's just a way of robbing people of agency innit

It was pretty hokey back in 1999 at the Euston N30, and the 2010 #baitvan theories weren't much more plausible.
Sometimes, when it is time for it to go, an elderly police van will just find a quiet spot, sit there, and then wait to immolate and hence to pass over into Aftervanworld; and lo, with enough people around with enough opportunity, so it is.
A flame-grilled Loadhopper is preferable to a Transit going full Mad Max over people in a crowd.

Okay I'm less bothered now I know this isn't something new, I got caught up in my own hubris there for a second thinking this was the first time this has really happened even though I had already seen evidence suggesting otherwise

Well played Brizzle.
If protesting peacefully is outlawed, you may as well protest unpeacefully. Moar of this to come

Any proof of this? I've never seen any in my life, nor has anyone I know. It's just speculation and incidences where people have said it happened have both shown to be false and have had other explanations.
It's something that started in the liberal 'the riot is bad' crowd looking for excuses to try and excuse things they didn't like happening while dodging outright condemnation, and it's somehow crept into bits of the more radical movement. It's just bollocks, it's in the same vein as people saying all the demonstrators in masks are undercover cops starting a riot to discredit us.

No proof whatsoever. And I have to agree with muscovyduck tbh, let’s not rob the protesters. Just got a bit caught up in the moment last night.

I think we could expect a real clamp down in Bristol now. Last year's statute demo was largely left alone and only a handful have been charged. This time round the police, with Priti's full backing and encouragement, will come down like a ton of bricks. Lots of tv footage, social media pics, phone footage etc. Hefty fines and prison terms are probably on the way for a lot of people.
