Climate Camp 08 - Police brutality etc.

[soomething]

reasonable coverage? the whole report discussed stupid allegations from the polict and didn't discuss climate change issues at all

I was there and saw the events with my own eyes. this is probably one of the fairest reports I've seen for a while. the police are classing the climate campers as 'Dangerous extremists' Somehow the nation should fear these vegan pacifists. I think the truth is that the Government is concerned that this movement is growing and is prepared to spend whatever it costs to marginalise and undermine the whole event. Despicable policing from a despicable government.

Usually yes; it usually only shows the police's point of view. It is good to see both sides portrayed this time round; but I think this has in part been because the media happened to be on site, and because an MP spoke out. Refreshing in a disturbing way to see the cop tactics exposed for what they are: bully-boy stronghand tactics against unarmed peaceful people. And I don't think you can accuse them of showing only the protestors side - look at the attempt to slander protestors!

Police brutality and unreasonable force or protecting innocent members of public from the minority set to cause disruption and instigate violence? The media shows one side only
