Protest in London
A NUCLEAR BOMB
Protest in London
Oh for feck’s sake. I’ve been trying to kid myself that they’ve been social distancing while protesting. That’s nuts. People are going to die as a consequence of this.
I wonder if the police will be using kettling tactics again. Which would make a bad situation even worse.
Disagree about the cuffs being the police own, or about it being a pathetic tweet?
They’ve seemingly arrested one dude carrying some perfectly legal tools and took a bunch of photos of the same thinks over and over to make it look like there’s more than there is, and then used that to try and paint the protesters as the aggressors.
Also, not being allowed to carry knives in the UK is entirely irrelevant.
You're fishing for an argument which I can't be arsed with if I'm honest. I've said my thoughts on it and if you disagree that's fine. The US police have done plenty of awful things, and released plenty of ridiculous tweets, over the past few weeks but I just don't feel this was one of them.
"I see the peasants are revolting again, Liz."
"Oh god. What is it about now, Phil?"
"Probably something to do with that bloody yacht."
"I'll get on the blower to Churchill; get him to call the Hussars out."
"Good show. We'll see how the rabble like the taste of musket-shot."
"Oh god. What is it about now, Phil?"
"Probably something to do with that bloody yacht."

Fishing for an argument on a discussion forum, capital offence.
I’m not fishing for anything, if you don’t want to discuss the comments you make then why the hell make them?
If you're anywhere near New York, the NYPD have one that you might be able to get for free.
WTF
There's nothing more to discuss really is there. It's a photograph of items the police say they have seized from protesters. They are what they are. You think it's a pathetic tweet whilst I think the items are pretty dangerous and worthy of seizing.
The sledgehammer is the standout for me. I've repaired a few bikes in my time but every time I used a sledgehammer I fecked it up.
And so it begins
The act isn't really working when you're the one who began it. In fact, by replying "And so it begins" to my post, you're basically confirming that you're looking for an argument. You could have just ignored it.
If they're going to be that crass I'm suprised they didn't include the week after the towers came down.Disgusting creatures...
One of the graphics aired:
There's no 'Black' theme to that event though. So there's your answer, mate.
You have a habit of making childish posts like that I guess. It's exactly whats being referred to in the Libcafe thread in part. Anyway I'll leave you to it.
That’s not very nice to watch but that’s an unnecessarily inflammatory tweat. Unless the words “beat him until he was unconscious” now mean “wrestled with him until he was in handcuffs”.
And so it ends.
@sammsky1 can you please put dates in your post when posting old videos. From the replies, that incident happened in July 2019.
I think it's a case of UK police brutality against non white people. Very relevant to todays protest. My opinion.
has context for todays protest in UK. Will do next time.
Again from a year or more ago and not as described. Not sure why you're positing that in here in any sense.
It is misleading. Makes people think it is from today's protest in London when it isn't.
Will state next time.
Protest in London
"Black Lives Matter...but actually only in a certain context and not when it applies to me because I'm going to willfully attend an organised protest that will cause people to catch and die from a virus that disproportionately affects black people"?
Not sure that would fit on a placard.
More important to be seen protesting than actually help the cause you're protesting for, apparently.
Oh yeah, you're right Steve. I didn't see the overarching theme of those events.
Not true at all. Its now a massive US MSM TV story, which has also reported subsequent plot developments, ensuring even more exposure within social media.

If you google his name you can find out the details.Youness Bentahar. Apparently he was asked 17 times to move his car, or produce his license. Then a 5 stage warning before they tried to arrest him. So it looks as though there were loads of opportunities for him to stop this escalating without any drama. I’m sure there are racists cops in the Uk but I don’t think this is a great example. Tweeting that today, without context, is pure rabble-rousing.
One of my mates has gone. Last weekend she was moaning about how unfair it is she has to get on a train to go to work because it isn't safe. Now she's off on the same train to mill about in a crowd of thousands, in the name of a cause that will be harmed more than helped as a result.
I hate people.
I know the story from seeing it last year. The allegation against him was simply for parking illegally. And even that is disputed. And this is what the cops resorted to.
I dont agree that this level of violence is warranted. They can ask him 100 times before they descend to this level of violence. I wonder if it happened to you, if you'd agree it was OK.
I think it's a very good example of racist police brutality, as does Mr Bentahar lawyer and supporters so we'll have to agree to disagree.

As Lord Karius said, it was "concussion".
Fireworks, hammer, spray paint, lighter fuel. Totally innocent here, all made up, I’ve got an inner type with me.
The firework is definitely questionable, everything else is pretty standard stuff to be part of a tool kit.
And the main problem is the attempt to frame it as the protestors being the aggressors on the basis of that shit.
Absolutely out of control:
