"The Greater Manchester force said it had to use so many officers to protect the public as power tools were used to cut the protesters' chains."

Yeah right! It's amazing isn't it? I ought to be dumfounded, but strangely I'm not.

They spend time and resources catching a chicken, when how many Kids , women and the Elderly are getting battered etc,

sorry for the seriousness but it's getting more common , they go for the soft jobs

Bet the real reason for all the fuss was they didnt want to be outdone by a chicken winning more than them in the MacDonalds / Monopoly promotions, :lol:

It wouldn't happen with us in the MET we'd have difused the situation a lot quicker and got 6 armed officers to take the chicken out in half the time with more fuss!! Ian Blair would support it! :P

I can honestly say that I've not had a Macdonalds for at least a year now.

If you can't catch real criminals,make criminals out of those you can catch.

I'll keep an eye out for people that look like they can't run very fast/far!!!

Should still not be to far away from a Macdonalds! so I'll keep my eye out for chickens too!
