Actions against the policing bill

[LDC]

That A&S chief copper needs some media training. Dreadful

He's an old abandoned cop they towed into view of the cameras so when provoked and he talked it made them all look bad.

The policing equivalent of the Marie Celeste

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.

Yeh 'there will be blood'

Priti Patel will send the Met TSG to Bristol to show the local plod how it should be done.

They'll get cleverer.

Some things for Bristolians to remember tonight:

There was a vigil for a victim of police violence in London last week. It was peaceful. The police attacked it anyway.

Tonight we saw police with batons attacking a peaceful crowd. The only reason this turned into a riot is because people fought back.

If you're worried about violent protesters but not police violence then you're doing the cop's work for them.

If you blame protesters for the violence that the police inflict on the public, then you're blaming the victims.

It's not a fair fight when one side uses stones and fireworks and the other uses batons and tear gas. "demonstrators clashed with police" is media speak for "armed people attacked an unarmed crowd".

If you only support a cause on the condition that activists are well-behaved then you don't really support that cause.

Politics is about power, not popularity. Winning public support is meaningless when our enemies don't even listen to the public.

They can ignore a protest. They can't ignore this.

We chose to be combatants, not victims. Fuck the police.

I would like to know what actions if any, the headmaster of Bristol University intends to take. The first thing he might consider is BANNING SKATEBOARDS, if last night's news is anything to go by.

Universities don't have headmasters.

Dean/headmaster

Dean/headmaster

a dean is not equivalent to a headmaster. Universities have vice-chancellors, schools have headmasters

This keeps popping up on my FB. The current actions in the U.K. seem to prove the point.

Only certain types of school have Headmasters. The rest have Headteachers.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Do we have any protester-filmed video footage or i-witness accounts of the Bristol protests? The media, predictably are all spinning the police narrative.

As we would expect... oh, that and the odd person from the crowd who says "I don't agree with not letting the police beat you up."
