Yes, people will be hurt if those sections peacefully demonstrating are on the end of illegal and violent actions by riot police who only seem to want to scare protesters from coming back (indeed one report i read had a protester saying that a riot squad officer told him just that). Although i've seen a video where one riot squad officer was visibly affected by a young girl pleading with him to let her out. The conversation went something like...
Girl: "Please i want to go home i dont want to cause trouble!"
Riot Officer, (looking a bit shaken) "I know, i don't agree with it but i have orders, but if i let you out id have to let everyone out".
Handy thing those "orders", even when illegal. This is an area protesters, those not keen on rucking with police, should be looking to milk in my view.

yeah the only people there incapable of making a decision for themselves were generally quite a bit older although in terms of mental age...

HE deserves THEIR contempt tho'; these complacent, unthinking reactionary types are precisely how dictatorships come about - they simply bow down before Authority, accept its' every word unthinkingly, andf care about no-one else. He really doesn't deserve to have any rights, let alone the vote.

Indeed. Any infantryman will tell you that the Para's are all wannabe special forces, & are arrogant & obnoxious cunts with their heads firmly up their arses.

Those videos of the riot cops being charged then kettled by demonstators and one of the pigs almost losing it, but not daring to hit the agitator giving it large in his face were brilliant, inspiring and beautiful.
The ones at Warrenpoint certainly had their heads up their arses...

Fair point, LM. I used to occasionally take my grandfather across the Thames to see Fulham when they played at home, back in the late '70s, and the Old Bill were always on the edge of tipping over into aggro mode. Same with demos. It was a situation where you knew they wanted it to kick off, so you mostly behaved well, so they didn't have an excuse to give people a leathering.
In the mid '80s I drank in a boozer which got overrun by coppers, after an ex-copper took over the licence. The amount of boasting you'd hear about "scruffy students" and "wogs" having been given a kicking was quite nauseating.
Obviously, these were either just "bad apples", or they were drunkenly telling lies to each other, because such a thing couldn't possibly be a standard mode of behaviour.

In fact, wasn't part of the shock at that "Miners" 3-parter a while ago, for the 20th anniversary of the strike, the unearthing of the edited-out parts of the Beeb's footage of Orgreave, which showed unequivocally that the police had started the aggro?

You speaking for the general public now, gunner?

Because he's ignorant and rubbish?
but if you're in a crowd where some are behaving illegally and throwing things then it is quite possible you will get hurt when the police get angry
possibly

Stop calling people fuckwits.
If you demonise and/or belittle your opponents, it's easier to obfuscate them without feeling remorse.
That may well be why d-b swears a lot more than any of the supposed members of the mythical "collective" do.

Problem being that "reasonable force" is an elastic definition that's almost always interpreted to justify the actions of the police.
The police are always angry. They hold the people they serve, in contempt, most of the time. Demonstrations give them the opportunity to play out that contempt, with impunity, on the whole.
yep you're right - all the more reason not to let your children go and get hurt. Of course some parents seem to think it's OK.

oh god yes, i'd forgotten about that! I sat there watching that programme with a feeling of mixed anger and satisfaction, I felt vindicated

you planning on raising any children you might have as snivelling cowards who bow down to bullys?
So, you think children and young people shouldn't have a voice; a right to make their feelings known, by whatever legal means possible, all because our police force can't control themselves?
Jog on, knobber.

so the police should have the right to break the law with impunity, and nothing should be done about their misconduct?

I just did a straw poll, and the general public reckon you shouldn't try speaking for them, because they think you're a cunt.

The language of a slave. Don't try to break your chains. That would upset the master. Master miight get angry. Best to quietly pick the cotton. Slave.
