Full respect for your actions today. Be proud of that.
Brilliant example for fans everywhere. Together we have more power than the owners.
Good luck

This will be buried and will have no mention in the press.
Jesus... A few idiots in there don't change the rightfulness of the protest. All the best to the officer.
Violence can never be answer to anything. Shame on those who where doing that. Doesn't matter if you are fan or policeman.
Media will now exaggerate this, for better and worse. And already doing it. However, this is nothing compared to how it goes in the southern/eastern countries of Europe.

The Tweet has already disappeared. What did it say?
One of the few things that the Orange Man got right...the media at large are the enemy of the (working class) people.
Definitely happened today. Saw it live on NBC's broadcast here in the States. Looked like he had stitches and a butterfly bandage with blood still on his face. The cop was walking by and chatted with Neville and Carragher. He was actually smiling and seemed in good spirits.
Video of three police dragging a kid (looked 18ish) behind a police van, one of them punching him whilst the other two held him down.
@Buchan
It was a video of three police officers dragging a supporter to the ground. One of them punched him multiple times while he was on the floor being held down.
Officer geting a few digs in on a protestor who's one the floor but then realise someone's filming him.
assume its the one with a guy on the floor restrained by three cops and one deciding to get a few fly digs in
Cops dragging a protester behind their van. One of them was punching him and the cameraman was then ushered away by other police.
I must say, watching all the videos made me well up. Great to see that some of the frustration is getting airtime on Sky - even though the headlines are trying to get a different spin.
Fitting that the Glazers are Trump supporters/funders
There’s been loads of mentions of a copper who got his face slashed with a bottle. Must be this bloke.
Saw kids singing and holding flares. Big groups of local families all there with banners.
Then the organisation to get Liverpool boxed in at the hotel.
Shows what we can do. No other fanbase can call on what we can. Savour it.

Think they need to get that well and truly out there.
Thanks, I've seen it widely reported now after the police made their statement.
I just thought it was odd at the time that it was just in that one clip that seems cropped horizontally and no one else mentioned it.
Cheers, mate.
Don’t know what the lad did to deserve that but looking at the first few seconds of the clip, it looks like the police go and fetch him from a group he was congregating with. It wasn’t like the lad ran and attacked their position, FFS!
Yes, now there is. At the time there was nothing apart from that one tweet.
Youtube mirror for the video in case it gets deleted from Reddit, too
Class, that.
Proper Utd that organised that. 200 of them at St Peters Square from 12. Police didn't know what to do.
Betfair has the game listed for 3pm tomorrow. But nothing seems to have been confirmed.

It seems the police strategy nowadays is confrontation with boastrous crowds. They did that at the demostration held for the unfortunate woman murdered by a policeman and now United. You can see on the video that the police "pushing" the crowd and the crowd reacted.
If that made its way to the news the whole story would change direction. Brilliant!
All because of a Horse?
What? Are you not proud of them? How dare you, you're not a true fan (according to most on here, that is).

Hard to feel too outraged at the copper getting some digs in. If we’re not going to let a few fans being thugs tarnish the protest as a whole I don’t think we can also take mortal offence at a few coppers getting carried away. For all we know they just saw one of their pals have his face opened with a bottle so understandable if they’re a bit strung out.
Hopefully the officers are held accountable but I won't hold my breathe. It still doesn't justify the face slashing and other violent acts.
Umm duh... spoony from the caf
Except they're trained not to.
Of course. I’m not implying what he did there was something he learned on a course.
Completely and utterly support the fans behind this. It's their city, their club. They have spent tons of money and emotion for many years and have every right to show their discontent.
