Re: G20 death a policemans view
Well to set the record straight i am not anti police and in fact i have friends and relatives who are in the met, but when the police stop people from leaving a protest and pen them in for several hours this in itself is a crime in what is suppose to be a free country, of course the order to apply this kind of policing would have come from some idiot high up so i do not blame the police who were in the front line as it is this ill thought out practice that will cause tempers to flair on both sides, but i defend what i said in my earlier post that to call all protesters scum dosnt look good for the police and if that is the way they see the general public then we are on the slippery slope !wink!

I take on board your point of view but the police tactics on this ocasison were over the top, give people some space to protest and yes they may be noisy but not neccessaraly violent, i realise that this can be intimidating for the police on the ground but never grounds for conflict, what has happened to their training i know it has been fast tracked to save money but this is a bad saving ask the old coppers !sad!
