I just now saw the footage on Twitter of the copper who got clotheslined off his horse- what the hell was that about?
You know what it's like on here. People like to be faux offended to show they're not part of the problem. Easy stick to beat.
Tbh using this as a vehicle to be a c**t detracts from the genuine protest and the looters are all in the same bracket. It diminishes the point and defeats what's trying to be achieved by genuine heartfelt reasoned protest.
She rode full tilt into a traffic light... not sure how the hell it happened mind.I just now saw the footage on Twitter of the copper who got clotheslined off his horse- what the hell was that about?

I only saw the short clip - it was certainly moving at some speed.Apparently someone threw a flare at them as they advanced, this officers horse bolted, threw the rider as it ran into the post, and carried on to knock down a protestor.

On a tangent but it does seem weird that police horses are still a thing, esp in riot situations as they're one of the most nervous and skittish animals on the planet.
Bigger crowd = greater probability of the occasional nobheadNot sure why only London is seeing this type of situation, I may be wrong but I haven’t seen this happening in the other cities?

Suggest that's the same for the police and you get protesters outside your front door.Thousands of people protested, if there’s only one or two reports of idiots then that’s a bloody good record.

Most people protested peacefully.There appear to have been a lot of occasional knobheads present. Looking at some of the videos there is a constant stream of missiles being thrown at the police on horseback and at one stage a bike is wheeled at them. Indeed, I wonder if anyone present isn't a full-time knobhead.
Just seen that police woman going into the traffic lights and people throwing bikes at the police horses. Disgusting. People dancing about and celebrating that she came off.
How about the c**t minority of "protestors" and the c**t minority of the police over here just meet up in a field for a tear up?
Which is great and fair play to them. Unfortunately, like at City games, some dicks spoil it for the rest.Most people protested peacefully.
Genuine question - are there still police officers like that in the UK? When is the last incident of UK police brutality? Not condoning it in the least but I thought that this was more of a 20th century issue.
Indeed. But, there are bellends everywhere. It's how you deal with the bellends that marks you out. Tbf we haven't shot indescriminately at them and peaceful protestors, or driven riot vehicles at them, so we're doing pretty well...Which is great and fair play to them. Unfortunately, like at City games, some dicks spoil it for the rest.
Although it’s not the exact answer there were 163 deaths in police custody in the last 10 years
Black people are twice as likely to die in police custody in UK - according to statisticsGenuine question - are there still police officers like that in the UK? When is the last incident of UK police brutality? Not condoning it in the least but I thought that this was more of a 20th century issue.
163 too manyAlthough it’s not the exact answer there were 163 deaths in police custody in the last 10 years
163 too manyWMP have had some new cell blocks built recently all with CCTV in all cells I believe, so no excuse for neglect, they're supposed to search properly for harmful weapons and substances. Far better record than the US but a 0-0 draw is what everybody would want.
Black people are twice as likely to die in police custody in UK - according to statisticsIt’s not really biased on ethnicity though
Tony, black people are far more likely to be arrested: Arrests
View attachment 15298
With these stats, the death rate in custody being 8% is actually fewer than you'd expect.
So the question is not 'Who died in police custody' but rather 'why are black people more likely to be arrested?'
Reg, there's not enough information in that paper, but it states that 45% were ill upon arrest from drugs; drink or car accidents etc. and the data include death on the way to hospital. So we're down to circa 8 a year - surely small enough for that to just be a natural rate (heart attack etc.) and nothing to do with harm in a cell? Of course, if there is either self-harm or brutality from the police that must be addressed - but the stats suggest that it's very unlikely.
More black people are likely to be arrested as they are arrested disproportionately, more black people are likely to be stopped and searched because they’re stopped and searched disproportionately. That’s before you even get into that they are disproportionately dying in police custody. The word here is disproportionately. Look it up.Tony, black people are far more likely to be arrested: Arrests

Is it true that Black people make up 13% of the population of America but commit 44% of murders? That's crazy. I guess they're all made to do it though. Didn't this bloke also have a record as long as a roll of wallpaper and hold a store or something up at gunpoint with the gun pushed in a pregnant woman's belly? If he did then then fuck him and fuck you twats who are kneeling for him.
