hi, this was somewhere near Bank junction - I can't recall exactly the street name - we were actually only peacefully trying to get out of the demo but the police was blocking and creating barricades and attacking us all in a sudden needless to say for no reasons at all

@queenrospo Why would the Police be attacking for no reason? There is no reason for them to do that! The Police are accountable believe me. I have no issues with protesting however it really gets my goat when violent protesters believe that there is no recourse, and then start bleating about police brutality! If you dont like the heat then get out of the kitchen!

@JMBoleyn The police displayed outnumbered the people at the demo. We were all in sudden surrounded and blocked inside Bank (which has got a sort of exagonal shape) and could not exit first and then they started pushing the rest of the crowd from inside out, using dogs batons etc. Hey believe me I was there as a witness I am not a trouble maker. You should participate to a demo and observe the police to understand, have you? cheers

@queenrospo Thank you for your reply. Firstly, the police, were at no time, out numbered the protesters in Bank, the "show of force" was instigated and achieved. If you track my posts you will see that I understand the current protests, you should be out there, you have been lied to..we all have. However, you need to understand the role of the police..to negate the threat. Never done a demo but been in military intelligence for 1545 "gigs". Am I qualified?

@JMBoleyn "been in military intelligence" ... yes mate u r qualified and entitled to disagree with my point of view, we are seeing things from a different perspective.

@betbowt

You think you can shoot pellets at the police?

They'll think it's a real gun and fucking shoot you...twats these days..

[JMBoleyn]

@queenrospo No big problems my friend. I indeed, was simply offering a different perspective. I fully understand that "kettling" is not nice, and hugely uncomfortable for those involved however, the role of the police is to negate, contain and control threat to property, safety and ultimately life. In the event of large scales there will be innocents, such as yourself, that will be caught up in the discomfort.
