Did someone attempt to steal the Olympic Torch 2012 at Land's End ?

Olympic torch only just began and someone got in trouble for getting close to it in the first 20 mins. Land's End Cornwall, England. was it just a photo opp? Either way 'he stumbled'

Man pushed to ground , where's that lovely English laid back spirit?

The Met Police's Olympic storm troopers applying 'reasonable force' to someone who was trying to cross the road at the wrong moment, or perhaps get in a better position to take a picture.

The commentator saying "I think someone stumbled" after the Met Police officers push that man aside with force.. Not fooling anybody who has eyes.

This is disgusting, dirty police mother fuckers

it's just so awful. such a sad indictment of the collapse of our freedom and justice. so representative of the inequality of the modern corporate imperialist state. the man stands as a metaphor of the common man, casually assaulted and denied rights. i'm not surprise that adolf hitler invented this torch race, it reeks of fascism.

Are you stupid?

[Oliver Palmer]

That's ridiculous. He was miles away. OTT!

It's Cornwall. No terrorists or arseholes! Over the top metropolitan unknowing idiots!

The Cornish is a minority!

he was just trying to get the other side of the road in front of the car wasn't he? he certainly didn't deserve that treatment, i would sue if i was him, what are going to do if there's a streaker? shoot him?
