I think they mention the kids to set the mindset that they were not part of the "campers" at the protest and by having young kids they had responsibilites to return to, so they were not of the mindset that they can go out, cause as much trouble as they like and happily spend a night in the cells for it knowing they have nowhere better to be.
Aso SK i dont see either of them "all up in the cops face" at any point. No more than i get up in PCIAATP face when i'm challenging him about his beahviour (sorry PCIAATP, for those not in the know is the local PC who shows up at Soho Massive meets from time to time claiming he's had calls complaining about us) and the agressive manner he tries to deal with us in. Do you really think it would be justified for him and a bunch of his mates to jump me too then? For simply asking what i am leagly entitle to ask of him...his badge/shoulder number?
Thats all these women were doing, one officer refuses and lies that he doesnt have to give this info so she says i want a pic of this person - who otherwise cant be identified - to make a complaint about him. Its the police who then obstruct them, not the other way round.
As for "stirring things up"...how? They were there to do exactly what the police were doing, film people and make sure any inappropriate behaviour is caught and recored on tape. Now if thats stirring things up then the cops were doing the same so just as guilty of stirring things up, no?
Its clear from the cops pwn video that they are aware of who these people are and set out to target them and find some pathetic reason to either confiscate their cameras or arrest them.
And i dont think anyone said the women were just bystanders either did they????
