Anyone watching coppers?

Sorry police of the org, i dont agree with the way they are handling the protests.
Being aggressive from the off, just encourages aggression back.

Some of the coppers on there look like they want it to kick off.

Difficult job i know, but telling people to take off their hoods when they havent done anything isnt fair. just creates resentment.

BTW im not anti police.

Was it raining or bright sunshine when their hoods were up?

Why would that matter, if your not breaking the law, you should be able to wear what you want.

Some of them coppers on there are C**ts, end of.

Am yet to watch this weeks, seems like it may be abit controversial. Will be watching on 4oD later

I wonder what would happen if the protesters were wearing bhurkas?

How would they be able to catalogue those known to be dissenters to the state if people were allowed to wear what they wanted?

Because Chris when they start causing trouble then they can order them to remove their hoods or scarves.
They got these guys straight from the train so hadnt done anything.
I see this type down the football matches all the time, power trips for some i think.

Dont get me wrong some of the people need a slap but they are being aggressive to people who wouldnt normally be a problem.

Oh like the girl who set fire to the koran and got in trouble but the asians who set alight to poppys and said kill soldiers didnt get arrested or anything ???

The answer to your question mate is nothing, cos they wouldnt want to spark ethnic unrest.

I dont wanna turn this into a thread about the two sides tbh, this was about over aggressive policing, imo of course.

FYI, I agree with you... that was meant to be a sarcastic remark lol

It is a power trip, telling them to take their hoods down or whatever is them saying "we're in charge", then obviously they can nick anyone who refuses as they were "causing trouble".


Football matches I can understand it a bit more, as it's less likely to be the police that cause the violence.
