Exhibit A.Originally Posted by the other bob wilson
The 'explanation' from the tuggers is going to be so contrived it will make your eyes water.
About to commit an offence of chanting a slogan that doesn't scan? An offence of filming an abuse of police powers before they had time to hide their collar numbers (in clear contravention of the Orgreave Protocols)? An offense of preventing a representative of the Met leaning on that particular piece of railing whilst incoherently wondering aloud what law has been broken to justify the actions they had already decided on?
It will be barrel scraping of the most embarrassing kind.
I am not a great fan of police being too heavy handed dealing with peaceful protest.
But I am equally not a fan of 40 second twitter clips purporting to show the full story of an incident. ( you do love your twitter Bob)
If the police have incorrectly arrested a journalist then someone should get a rap over the knuckles.
The overnight news suggests a few of them have had their knuckles rapped.
Your comment on Twitter sounds a bit James Walesish Elwood (because I've seen what Just Stop Oil have done in the past, they must be guilty this time). Twitter can be a cess pool at times, but it doesn't mean everything on there is like that - I had a similar view to that a few years ago, but changed my mind once I actually opened an account on there.
On Saturday morning there was a guy tweeting exactly what would happen in the met response.
A few individual (low rank of course) officers being publicly reprimanded for being over zealous and over interpreting the law was on the list actually. All so predictable.
And on the radio today the met say they "regret" their actions and no charges to be brought. Im no conspiracy theorist but those press releases were probably written a few weeks ago.
Wonder what those on here have to say now?
The Met have had more than enough opportunities to sort themselves out - they were called institutionally racist nearly a quarter of a century ago and can anyone seriously claim that they still aren't now (as well as homophobic and mysoginistic)?
