Heavy handling of protesters by police
 
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environmen...ideo-complaint

That's pretty shocking treatment for two people who's only crime seems to be that they were an irritant to the police.

Why are protesters being grouped in with "terrorists" and treated under the same legislation?

That is just outrageous and disgusting bully boy behaviour imo.
The police seem to have a real problem with being identified yet they dont have a problem pumping a shed load of bullets into an innocent mans head when they failed to clearly identify him before he got on a tube. :roll:

The powers given to police in these sort of demonsatrtions are unjust and imo illegal. If they can film people for their reasons then those same people can film them back for their own reasons. All the woman did was aks for his shoulder number, a piece of info he shuld have had clearly dispalyed and infomation he should make available when it is requested.
but oh no, lets not do whats legaly expected of us, lets just attack them and arrest them for obstruction when they were doing no such thing. And i heard women police voices too, so why are they arrested women being man handled by male officers f there are females present?
Just disgusts me when i see this kind of behavour displayed by an police officer.
Worst part is that its clealry sanctioned from higher up otherwise the indvidualt officers would not act this way of their own accord.

Does it make it acceptable that it happened a while ago? I didn't hear or see this at the time and following the police behaviour at the recent G20 demo its good to know that the IPCC have previous complaints to look at too.

Or is it OK in your opinion cos it was a while ago? i dont get the :rolleyes: you see.

Neither acceptable nor not acceptable I don't wanna really air my views because my judgement is often wrong. The :rolleyes: was that it was a year ago and has only surfaced now, just after stuff has slightly calmed down from the G20 happenings.

but its not a right or wrong issue, its your view of what you see happening and weather YOU as an individual agree or accept it. Its not a conformist thing where your view has to be the same as anyone elses.
Anyway thanks for clarifying that.
I'd imagine we only see this now as it had to be kept confidential due to the IPCC investigation.... or the police knwo they have something to be ashamed of an didnt want it out in the open before now.
