Dr Gloom 19879 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 1 hour ago, ewerk said: Well they did call a medical team. But in the current climate it is foolish to approach cops in riot gear when they're telling you to get back. Plus the cop would probably have only got a yellow for that push in the PL. he was a frail old man - what threat did he present to justify that push? then they walk off as he lies with blood coming out of his ear.

Renton 17872 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Ewerk's like one of the old men in the monty python sketch. "Kids in America think they've got it bad. In my day, you'd get bludgeoned to death with a truncheon in bed by the RUC before you woke up, then shot In the head by a para. And that's if you were lucky." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He approached them when he obviously shouldn't have, they told him to move back and he didn't and he got a light push. I'm not saying it's right but if he had've kept his distance as instructed he would have been fine. It doesn't help when people like Cadwalladr state that they then left him there when you can clearly see people attending to him. There are lots of examples of outrageous police brutality against these protests, I just don't think this one is particularly shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you were really unlucky you'd be tied up and held at gunpoint by KCG while he forced you to listen to the first three chapters of his novella. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
