Sorry to derail the thread, but a bit of news from London:
(I don't actually know enough Stranglers songs to make a relevant Stranglers pun here, that one Rude Kids song complaining about the Stranglers not playing Sweden is a banger though.)

Perhaps his policing of the Bristol protests was by way of a job interview...?

From what I've seen, it seems like this weekend'll be relatively quiet, the 17th should be a bit busier though. Not directly Kill the Bill related, but under general ACAB stuff, there's a demo in Cardiff for Siyanda Mngaza, wrongfully convicted after defending herself from a racist attack:

these boards have some right thick cunts on them
The NHS as a willing perpetrator with capitalist state violence? Happily collaborating with the police in order to safeguard the interests of the capitalist class?
Nah, never happens.

All coppers are bastards!
Well not all coppers, just the ones who dress up in copper uniform. And not from the ones who we can work with, sound as a pound those coppers are.
All them other coppers though. Bastards!
This is why we have had 40 years of unending defeat.
If you have to put as much effort as you people feel you need to into convincing the proles of whatever you believe in this week, whilst at the the same time you are too dense to understand what everyone else is able to, then what actually are you bringing to the task of creating something a bit better than “well we’re not going fund the housing and social structures that we know prevent mental health crisis; oh no, we’re going to give you a criminal record if you dare be suicidal or complain about your care”.
neo-liberalism eh?

A local NHS trust has actually sent this out to staff
Protests in Bristol
You may already be aware of the protests that took place in Bristol on Sunday 21 March, against the proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill. The protest, which began peacefully in the afternoon, descended into chaos later in the evening, with scenes of violence and vandalism in the city centre directed at the police officers and police vehicles responding to the incident.
We know that some of you may have found the images or videos of the scenes distressing. We want to reach out to let you know that support is available, and if you are feeling shaken up by anything you may have seen on the news or on social media, please do reach out to us.
We also know that some of you may have family or friends in the Avon and Somerset Police force, and that it will have been a worrying night for you as reports started to surface about officers sustaining injuries.
Our Employee Assistance Programme, PAM Assist, offers a free and confidential telephone service for all staff (XXXXXXXXXXXXX), if you would like to talk about anything. PAM Assist also offers rapid access to counselling – more information can be found here. Please also have a chat with your line manager and look through the HR pages on Ourspace, there is plenty of information here about where to go if you need some support.
Please be aware that there is a possibility that protesting will continue. Although violence was directed at police officers during the protests, we cannot discount the risk that other uniformed personnel may be targeted. Please ensure that you take steps to keep yourself safe by not travelling to work or coming home in your uniform and staying vigilant where you can. If you are able to avoid the area affected, please do so, and stay aware of any road closures that might affect your journeys.
this is literally the same fucking trust

Throwing a statue into the river and leading frontline NHS staff in ‘industrial action’ that would likely be both deadly and pointless. Revolution

Maybe don't call people dense when you either haven't understood someone's comment or are trying to willfully misrepresent it.
Did you riot after Winterbourne or Oliver McGowan?

Did you riot after those events? If you did what did it achieve? If not why should other people?
The whole why wasn't there a riot after X event as if it is some kind of gotcha sounds like the kind of thing you hear from Daily Mail readers.
Plenty of young white women have been murdered without riots. Plenty of coppers have committed serious offences against women and others both on and off duty without riots. Plenty of bills increasing police powers have been put before parliament without riots. Plenty of discrimination has occurred against travelling groups or individuals both through legal and other means without riots. I could go on...
Sometimes a number of things come together to cause a riot. It's not even a great word for what happened. The police are the sharp end of the sword. They commit the most overt violent acts and suppress protests. Does it not make sense that they would be the ones to provoke a violent response? Violence against this overt agency of state violence is hardly universally celebrated how do you think attacks on NHS workers and NHS property would go? Should a few ambulances be set alight? Could this possibly do more harm than good?
