RIP Sarah Everard, who went missing from Brixton in March 2021

[teqniq]

Plod grabbing women and throwing them aside on live stream

Seen a couple of arrests on the live feed. People are, understandably quite angry.

 

[killer b]

footage from the protest is wild. The Met have totally fucked this up, jesus christ.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Really trying hard not to assume the duchess of Cambridge at the vigil wasn't desperate attempts to patch up some post Meghan PR

So much for the Met banning the rally lol.

Met forgot that twitter exists and nobody's got anything to do right now so oh surprise let's go for a "walk" where that vigil was meant to happen.


They've also started kicking off and arresting folk

 

[Manter]

As I left Clapham Common I tweeted to a mate that 5 police vans were haring the other way and I hoped even the Met police weren’t stupid and vicious enough to take their hatred out on women’s bodies today of all days.

But they are.

I was there for an hour and a half, it was peaceful- quietly angry, but peaceful. Couple of cops being followed around by legal observers, lots of tears, some chanting, some clapping, a constant stream of mostly young women arriving, many clutching flowers. Older women like me, many with dogs, bikes or kids, round the edges. Everyone keeping their distance from each other. Almost everyone masked. this is what our state is terrified of, hates and kills.

fucking bleak

 

[stethoscope]

Its a lively if peaceful protest, and as per usual instead of just letting it run and letting people vent, you can just predict that the pigs are going to be dicks about it.

 

[bimble]

Whoever ordered the police to move in is either just a fucking idiot or something worse.

Priti Patel?

 

[polly]

Priti Patel?

Ticks both boxes

 

[ddraig]

Sad to see they succeeded in getting a couple of women through the crowd and into a van, brutalising anyone in the way

 

[teqniq]

They just arrested some old guy as well.

 

[little_legs]

the met police are continuing to cover themselves in glory snatching women at a vigil for a woman murdered by a met police officer

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Surprised Patel isn’t on the phone to Dick atm - send in the TSG, how dare these people break my law.
Fuck the police.

was she not arrested?

[note: I can never remember which one that is]

Met forgot that twitter exists and nobody's got anything to do right now so oh surprise let's go for a "walk" where that vigil was meant to happen.

Lets hope they don't trawl through twitter posts and claim they were organizing.

 

[killer b]

I guess this is one way to turn what could have been a one-off vigil into a mass protest movement.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Priti Patel?

Piranha Patel & Cressida Dickhead

Christ

 

[Edie]

Absolute PR disaster. Should have just stood respectfully at the edge. Any amount of interference would obviously inflame and reflect incredibly badly on them

 

[Winot]

Mrs W was there with W1. Said that it was calm and peaceful and that people were starting to drift away. Then the Met piled in and the whole vibe changed.

Stupid and wrong decision.

 

[Gramsci]

This at first instance down to Lambeth police.

They've been getting some stick on twitter.

I found this tweet of theirs particularly offensive.

Does the MET actually know what PR is? Nah.It’s about doing the fucking right thing.

“We’re manhandling women to stick to the rules”

 

[kittyP]

Fucking hell

 

[muscovyduck]

As if it was ever going to go any other way

 

[baldrick]

How must Sarah's family feel about this?

I was thinking they must be a little comforted by the vigils going on tonight, only to have it all totally fucked up by the Met going in heavy handed.

I just have no idea how they can justify a scene like was posted above in the video. It's appalling.

 

[SovietArmy]

Ha Priti will light candle. lol.

 

[Thora]

These photos you just think wtf

 

[Orang Utan]

That’s appalling. They just had to stand back and let it happen and it would have just dispersed.

 

[moomoo]

That was exactly my thought when I saw it earlier. Her poor family. I really hope they haven’t seen it.
