You can't park here sir
get to the front of a demo and its got physical people are not going to pleasant fact of life.
But if somebodys in a wheelchair they can be dealt with without the need for physical force.
manhandling somebody in a wheelchair makes you look like a prick and is utter unneccessary just wheel him out the way.
You can't really expect riot police to be pleasant to you if its kicked off place yourself in the front rank and you could get a smack but there's a diffrence between resonable force and getting a kicking.

That wasn't it, either, they even did a cartoon to go with it...
That is fucked. Well out of order.
You can make a complaint to the Press Complaints Commission here.

And then if you deal with them without physical force you think they should be infantilised and patronised.

Id like to see police treat you in a similar way for not rioting and then see what your line is.

just seen the video
protestor may or may not needed nicking for his actions earlier no idea
but as not a threat could either have been left for later fit team take his photo well knownb so not going to get away.
Or if there was some pressing reason why he had to be arrested? copper could have just got behind him and wheeled him off at speed.
Thr pc wwas a violent twat and even got told to do one by another copper when a understanable fracs started.
I presumed like littlebrain was he was in the front rank at the time and got dragged out the way I am Sorry and wrong.
The copper was acting like a cunt and made everything worse.

Have complained. Anyone else thinking of it, make sure you quote this as the Code breach: PCC’s Editors’ Code, clauses 5i + 12i.

That twat assumes that the complaints arose because of soppy feelings based on the kids disabilities. Pile it on you clown.

Bugger, you need to register to comment. Might just have to use the ol' complaints button instead. Great to see how many people have clocked the BBCs blatent continual trotting out of goverment policy, and nothing else. Britain is more awake than i gave it credit for.

No I didn't think one commentator has backed the interviewer - you don't see unanimity very often on the net!

Hmm, I've had an Interweb connection for about 15 years (not a long time in geekland, I know) but searching through my file of passwords for forums, etc. it seems I have never felt bothered enough to comment on the BBC website previously until today, so the little dig about the "Internet Campaign" by the news editor just seems to be digging an even bigger hole.
If the BBC news editor cannot understand why footage of a man in a wheelchair being manhandled by police and then quizzed by a newsreader in a "you were were asking for it" vein over and over is quite unpopular, then I think that he is, erm, a bit out of touch.
