Rob85 Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Not sure how old this video is but I just saw it posted in a countryside/fieldsports group I'm part of. Police arrived just in time to stop them putting their scaffolds up, and arrest quite a few of them. This is how I want the police to react to vegan/climate extremists. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4483468755008714&id=479202222102074 I hope this link works.

My hearing isn't the best, but I thought one was calling out "I can't breathe" repeatedly. After what happened in the USA with George Floyd, I suppose that would be a predictable 'try it on' every time someone is held down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the police doing anything out of the ordinary arrest wise. When it comes to a demo like this your better going in hard and fast and getting out again before any trouble kicks off.....bit like marital coitus really 😆 I just love how their little scaffolding thing fell to pieces when it got nudged. Would have been funny if there were several attached to it at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was calling out ‘I’m trying to leave!’ but she was only trying to leave once she realised she was going to be cuffed. Needed a diesel powered truck to stage their protest! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymondley Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I wonder if they'd have gone in like that if all the protesters were black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Quote Because they taking the pee! I questioned why the Police would go in "more heavily handed" if the protesters were black. It appeared to be a slur on the Police, which was unfounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appeared to be a slur on the Police, which was unfounded. My own opinion is that they wouldn't, based on their behaviour at recent BLM riots, sorry, protests. I think Henry was insinuating they'd have relished giving them a good kicking, what with the Police being institutionally racist an all that!

Gordon R Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I agree with your summary of Henry's thinking. I don't agree with it and think garbage like that needs challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
