Can't wait.
Once you leave university and join the rest of us the grown up world you might have a more balanced view on life and the people that are in it.
Until then you keep posting pictures like if it makes you feel better. How many people were battered by Police medics last night? Or last Sunday or the game before that or the one before ............ you get my point?
The Police can't be seen to being 'nice' in certain circumstances - there'd be people who'd see it as a weakness and become even more of a threat/problem. Ask your Dad about crowd control and how he dealt with crowds in the Army - I'm sure there were a few whacks dished out to show the rest of the mob who were boss. It has to be done - simple as that.
If you don't want to be made an example of by a copper with a riot stick who's being spat on, sworn at and could be on the end of a beating (or worse) should he get dragged into the crowd, a guy who's scared, worried the next thing that hits him could be a petrol bomb and has got adrenalin pumping through his system and may well do things he wouldn't normally do to people, then don't go to the front. If you go to the front of a mass protest you know the risks.
You'll find that there are wrong 'uns in every walk of life - Police, Army, Asda cashiers, binmen. Rarely do people report good experiences though.
I've had some bad dealings with the Police too, being assaulted by four Asians and me being the only one arrested despite being the one who was simply walking down the street minding his own business pushing a pram. I've waited three days for someone to come round following a robbery, I've reported a robbery in progress and had someone turn up eleven hours later asking me for details. I've been pushed and pulled around by the Police in football crowds many times despite never doing anything wrong - it's just one of those things.
It's obvious you have a problem with the Police - what do you suggest we replace them with?
What happened to students just being lazy, smelly, doped up pissheads who couldn't be arsed getting out of bed to protest? There seems to be a real resentment against the people who are paying for their future and the ones generally protecting them.
well said
