Central London mob attacks people in Hyde park

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Reports say the woman had sprayed him with this coloured water during the water fight.
The fact it stained his shirt was said to be the reason he ran after her and assaulted her.

Right, so I doubt it occurred to him to just pour some water on it to get it out?

I'm sure if it was done immediately it would have worked.

Same type of mentality as the tuts you get when you accidentally step on someone's brand new trainers

 

[teuchter]

Attica,

(third time asking)

what is your "evidence" that the police acted inappropriately on this occasion?

 

[The Black Hand]

People get punched all the time

Sadly you are not amongst them
If its no cause for cop intervention and no cause for alarm, perhaps you'll let me punch you should we ever meet. I ask now as I suspect there may be rather a long queue

Hahahahahahhaahahahhaaha You'd be funny if you weren't so tragic.

Come on down little boy

Attica,

Send me a pm if you care that much

 

[Kanda]

Send me a pm if you care that much

Why not post it here. You started the thread

 

[ethel]

indeed. some evidence would be great.

 

[The Black Hand]

indeed. some evidence would be great.

Can you read? Have you read this thread? Look at the link in the Op, it's all there, including testimony from a participant.

 

[editor]

Gender is irrelevant.

OK, let's try again. What was the last football game you were at where people were punching each other please?

You brought up football in relation to this woman being hit, but I'm still trying to find out your point.

It werent about dat doh. She disrespected him, blud.

I've sent Attica a PM.

Obviously the FAQ rules will prevent me from posting up what he tells me, but I will at least be able to offer my review of the reliability his evidence.

Oh. Attica tells me this is what the "clear evidence" consists of.

 

[The Black Hand]

This is enough for me testimony from a participant to start a discussion

 

[Melinda]

Is this the one where the guy bashed the girl up?

No. This is where London police brutally cleared a large number of youths from Hyde Park for the hideous crime of having a water fight in the hot sun.

"Playful youth."

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

It werent about dat doh. She disrespected him, blud.

ah, that's ok then

 

[STFC]

Do you go to watch football?

No worse than what you see there... (unless you are being sexist).

I go to football. You might have wet dreams about being involved in violent incidents but you would cry like a baby if you were caught up in one.

If you reckon the old bill stand by and do nothing when punches are thrown, then you are even more clueless than I thought - if that's possible!

 

[The Black Hand]

ah, that's ok then

Hand wringing Liberal. It looks like a playground incident to me, certainly not worth thousands of £££££££££ being spent by the police over reaction.

 

[CharlieAddict]

Maybe it's that nasty flavoured spring water?

i dunno...i guess, i would have hit her if she chucked period water onto me too.

 

[The Black Hand]

A) I go to football. You might have wet dreams about being involved in violent incidents but you would cry like a baby if you were caught up in one.

B) If you reckon the old bill stand by and do nothing when punches are thrown, then you are even more clueless than I thought - if that's possible!

A) Hahahahahhahahahahahahahaahahaha wanker.

B) Yes they do sometimes, you would have to be naive and/or stupid to say that. So to sum up - you ARE CLUELESS.

Hand wringing Liberal. It looks like a playground incident to me, certainly not worth thousands of £££££££££ being spent by the police over reaction.

but surely that wasn't the only incident that day? it's just the one that the media have focussed on.

 

[CharlieAddict]

The point is gender is irrelevant.

when was the last time you saw a punching crowd at a football?
one that attended?

 

[The Black Hand]

i dunno...i guess, i would have hit her if she chucked period water onto me too.

Ruined a designer top - worth a punch imho.

This is enough for me testimony from a participant to start a discussion

Testimony from a participant is by its nature biased. And there is testimony from others in your link which gives a different view of events.
By no means is there any "clear evidence" on either side.
I think there may be some good points to be made about fearfulness of the "general public" around teenagers and the fact that this can lead to an over-reaction to relatively innocent happenings. And there may be an interesting discussion to be had there. But you don't help matters by starting the "discussion" off with what you wrote in your OP. You are as bad as the people who tar all "youth" with the same brush in the way you instantly blame the police for everything without any attempt to look for some sort of balanced view of what actually happened.

Playground Incident.



What kind of school did you go to? Borstal?

QFT.

Christ only knows what your stance on DV is then.

 

[The Black Hand]

Suck eggs. The testimony from that girl is clear. It is worth a discussion. The history of the police from the start WAS NEVER NEUTRAL - they have ALWAYS been against the people in confluict situations.

You have to be naive and/or stupid and/or biased to want a 'balanced' outlook on the police from the outset, or over any issue...

Punching men ok is it?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Now I'm really thinking this is a troll

 

[cesare]

Punching anyone over a designer top isn't OK.
