If I haven't got the faintest idea what the guy was doing or why the officer used the force they did how can I possibly know?But there's probably a good reason for it, isn't there...

Well they should get some who do to engage as their spokespeople then ...Yeah. Thousands of people normally gather mid-week in central London and get kettled because they don't really understand why they're there. They just do it.
You'd think wrong.There are plenty of non-police investigative professions. I would have thought corporate fraud investigators would be ideal for the IPCC.

My summary is precisely that - a summary. And I don't pretend that the system is perfect or desirable. But it is most definitely NOT as clearly understood by most of the protestors interviewed.It's a con. You might have fallen for it, but these kids ain't stupid.
Yes, course they will ... cos all those people interviewed on the news and by the papers have been immediately nicked haven't they ...who will promptly get nicked...
So when they say they / their family cannot afford to pay the fees up front you agree that is an accurate description of the proposed scheme then, yes?They understand it a hell of a lot better than you do.
Jenny Jones, the Green party member on the Metropolitan Police Authority who was on the march, said it was important to note that the force "can't win" in its approach to these demos. But the most significant issue, she argued, was a deep and growing lack of trust between the force and the student protesters, exacerbated by kettling on the 24 November protest.
"It is definitely not constructive for the police to stand in a large and intimidating line. It is a shame, because they have got better at this recently. I think the Millbank protest [in which windows were broken at Conservative HQ] was not actually policed too badly, in the sense that I would rather see a broken window in a building than a young person with brain injuries and a [badly injured] police officer."
Erm. Ok. 12m 20s in a lad who looks about 10, in school uniform is blocked from leaving.

great still of him on the video there
Yeah, cos that's be a really sensible thing to do: stick squaddies in police uniform over their combats and not give them numbers, just so as they'll blend in like ......might be the reason why some of them dont have numbers ...and how the met police can build up a big reserve ...quickley ..after getting caught out at milbank (Chelsea barracks ?)
I haven't managed to get audio on the clip but on Newsnight earlier he was saying there was a power to arrest protestors wearing masks.What did he say?

"under the public order act it's an offence to wear a mask if a police officer asks you to remove it"
to be fair it looked (and sounded) like he'd two extra sherries in the green room

Apart from the fact that someone could have been killed at the Millbank protest, and the building could have been set on fire. How can you possibly argue that there is no risk involved in allowing protestors to smash and burn property.
