Documentary: Peter Taylor's 'Loyalists' - 1/3

Episode one of Peter Taylor's documentary series on the role of the Loyalist paramilitaries in Northern Ireland's 'Troubles' - and how they ultimately defeated the IRA in 1994.

Candid interviews with former prisoners, Loyalist leaders and politicians give a rare insight into the people who chose to take up arms in defence of the protestant community against sectarian Irish Republicanism.

best quote at 19.00 when bill craig was asked " how did you react to the scenes of police officers beating demonstrates over the head" ..."while there was a few got the attention of the media, i didn't see anything wrong with it"... "you didn't see anything wrong with police officer beating marchers"...."not people involved in violence" .... come on like how retarded of an answer was that

@drummboi21 They were breaking the law. The police tactics were spot on and it's how I would expect to be treated if I went on an illegal march specifically designed to whip up tensions and encourage violence.
