What a shame a great day could be mared sleightly by another irresponsible over-reaction from a police officer, terrible.

I have stills from earlier on the same ride. This bloke in the wheelchair/shopper couldn't have been less aggressive or cheery when he was waiting at the start. Looks like another over reaction that the CPS will pretend didn't happen. My images taken on a professional camera are always available for scrutiny by campaigners/protesters/police officers as I just record it like it is.
