StanSP Posted 21 December 2010 Posted 21 December 2010 You've got to be kidding me... Look forward to seeing the protest on that one.
Steven Posted 22 December 2010 Posted 22 December 2010 equals without the sense of humour. <_< I mean wtf. As the fuzz can't police anything their solution is to stop people doing anything.
Jon the Hat Posted 22 December 2010 Posted 22 December 2010 Not banning protests, just marches. I guess it is much more difficult to safely police a large group of people who are moving than one which is not. No major problem with that. If they start talking about banning protest then we should all be on the streets, but I doubt very much if either of these is going to happen.

Daggers Posted 23 December 2010 Posted 23 December 2010 How long before another person gets killed. <_< This from a Tory member, The Met is out of control. Kettling video 'appalling', police watchdog panel chair says It is appalling. You can hardly see anything. If it wasn't for the narrative no one would have a clue what the fvck was happening. At least we can trust the student who wrote it.

Fosse Boy Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 Ian Tomlinson was unlawfully killed by a Metropolitan Police officer at the G20 protests, an inquest jury has said. The 47-year-old collapsed and died after he was hit by a baton and pushed to the ground by Pc Simon Harwood at the protests in London on 1 April 2009. His family said the verdict was a "huge relief", while the Crown Prosecution Service could reopen criminal proceedings against Pc Harwood. The officer said after the verdict he had not intended to push him over. The jury decided Pc Harwood acted illegally, recklessly and dangerously, and used "excessive and unreasonable" force in striking Mr Tomlinson. Jurors added that the newspaper seller, who was not taking part in the protests, posed no threat. Family hope The case is set to be reviewed by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and the Met Police. Pathologist Dr Freddy Patel told the inquest that Mr Tomlinson died of a heart attack but the jury favoured the evidence of a number of experts who said he died of internal bleeding. During evidence, the family's lawyer Matthew Ryder QC said Pc Harwood had told "half truths" and "deliberately painted a false picture of Mr Tomlinson". Outside the hearing, Mr Tomlinson's step-son Paul King said the family hoped manslaughter charges would be brought against Pc Harwood. Mr King said: "After two years, we're really grateful that the inquest process has made a strong statement about how Ian died. "We are grateful to the jury and the coroner and we think the jury finding speaks for itself in the verdict of unlawful killing." 'Blindingly obvious' Last year, prosecutors said a decision not to pursue charges against Pc Harwood could be reviewed depending on the inquest findings. Click to play Ian Tomlinson's family say they have "a long way to go in their search for justice" Jurors took four-and-a-half hours to reach their verdict. The other possible verdicts available to them were misadventure, natural causes and open. Jules Carey, of the Tomlinson family's solicitors, said: "Today's decision is a huge relief to Mr Tomlinson's family. "To many, today's verdict will seem like a statement of the blindingly obvious; however this fails to take account of the significant and many obstacles faced by the family over the last two years to get to this decision. "The CPS will now review whether a prosecution will be brought following today's verdict and the way in which the evidence has been clarified during the inquest process." 'Deep regret' The CPS said a "thorough" review would take place. A spokesman said: "It will take into account all of the evidence now available, including any new evidence that emerged at the inquest, the issues left by the coroner to the jury and the conclusions they reached. Continue reading the main story “Start Quote Pc Harwood did not intend, or foresee at the time, that his push would cause Mr Tomlinson to fall over, let alone that it would result in any injury” End Quote Pc Simon Harwood's solicitor * Analysis: Ian Tomlinson's death "The review will be conducted as quickly as is compatible with the care and rigour required in a thorough exercise." The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it acknowledged the verdict and would be publishing various reports on the incident. Speaking after the verdict, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Rose Fitzpatrick of the Met Police said: "It is a matter of deep regret that the actions of an MPS [Metropolitan Police Service] officer have been found to have caused the death of a member of the public." The Met said Pc Harwood would be the subject of misconduct proceedings. Pc Harwood disputed the jury's verdict that he deliberately and intentionally shoved Mr Tomlinson to the ground. A statement released by the officer's lawyer said: "The mass of video and other evidence gathered by the IPCC now presents a picture very different from the one which Pc Harwood had on the day. "In particular, he wishes that he had known then all that he now knows about Mr Tomlinson's movements and fragile state of health. "Pc Harwood did not intend, or foresee at the time, that his push would cause Mr Tomlinson to fall over, let alone that it would result in any injury." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13268633
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 4 May 2011 Posted 4 May 2011 How long before another person gets killed. <_< This from a Tory member, The Met is out of control. Kettling video 'appalling', police watchdog panel chair says Well done to the police. They did a bloody good job. All the pathetic bollocks people whinge at them about, continues to drivel on. The demonstration was a farce, and as far as I am concerned, they were lucky the police were so tolerant. Just a bunch of layabouts, looking for trouble!

I suggest you live in Syria or Bahrain as the Police force there is perhaps more to your liking. I want a force that serves the Public and not behave like out of control thugs.

When our police start indiscriminately shooting dozens of protestors at a time then you might have a point. At the minute your hyperbole is just making you look silly.

When our police start indiscriminately shooting dozens of protestors at a time then you might have a point. At the minute your hyperbole is just making you look silly. He's not talking crap really Webbo. When we have armed gangs (and it will happen) on our street shooting at police AND innocent people or protestors, we too will have police firing at us. Our protests are nothing like Syria yet. Syria has outsiders coming in with weapons randomly killing people to blame on the Syrian Gov. Yes Syria gov might be bastards, but they are being played and have to do something. The only difference between our government and the Syrian or Iranian governments is that our government does most of it's shit and killing abroad. The others mentioned do it at home, but not on the same scale by a long shot. Some of our police are total c*%ts. I used to even know coppers who sold crack cocaine, amongst other drugs, and do much worse things too. They're everywhere. I'm not pissing about or lying.
