Violent arrest of a protester during #Nov9 by a large group of undercover cops

I witnessed this arrest while poutside of the kettle in Moorgate around 4PM. This was a large and planned operation. Before he was dragged out of the protest a line of police horses was formed to prevent protesters from following the cops. Undercover officers were intimadating people who tried to photograph the incident.
He was dragged to a small alley and police blocked it tto prevent any witnesses from coming in. The second part of the clip is when I run to the other end of the alley. There was around 10 coppers involved.

Other commenter's seem to believe all protesters are anarchists and/or violent.

This is one media narrative. I find it sad that some of the public, despite not being stupid, buy one narrative and dont question or check it.

I'm 40, company director, I marched, last year and this, most are intelligent, peaceful, law abiding citizens, exercising the same rights you have, to protest should you wish too.

I suggest, go and see first hand. Thankyou

Well getting arrested by undercover police looks just like being kidnapped by some organized crime group. And practically it is the same shit. I am photographer and i also enjoy spotting this little pigs and taking pictures of their angry faces. I shout police and warn all drug users around them. When i saw a group like that i try to infiltrate into their group so they cant communicate. Until they show you the badge you can play with them as much as you want.

Nothing violent about it. That's called restraining.

Sadly, our police are becoming the enemy of the people. One day they may have to choose a side: their political masters and puppeteers, or the people. I hope by then they haven't completely alienated their fellow citizens. We are many, they are few.

That copper is my HERO. What a dude. He is like from Sanfran or something. Glad to see the MET still recruits with brains. This really made my evening.

For all you know he could have just raped a child so why don't you shut your fucking mouth until you know the facts?
