Well, ok maybe that is what happened, since people were using the photographers account, I assumed there was no footage. Can't see it in the tweet thread.
Taking your word for that then(unless someone has a link), can we at least agree those that do strip off before confronting the police(and there have been examples), might be doing so for the reason I stated? It does look bad, no matter what happened leading up to it and people are very aware of that(the press included). I didn't just make those comments based on this incident and I'm not saying everyone's at it either.
edit: So was it a man or a woman then?
