I don't know if he was pushed but a policeman has the right to defend himself by force to the death if threatened, verbally and esp physically. Those Brits need to stop fucking w/ their officials.

 

the guy who died, didnt appear to be doing anything other than walk past the police

the women swore at the guy, but thats not illegal here, in both cases, the police reaction was extreme

they werent f***ing with the officials, they were protesters, i think some of you would do well to look up protester in the dictionary

i dont really think that being sworn at, should be seen as enough reason to beat someone, these are officials, not schoolyard bullys were talking about.

to clarify, im not attacking all police, just the few idiots who think that they can beat protesters without good reason.

Let me quote John Adams per the Boston Massacre trial: "A sentry's [police officer's] post is his castle.  To attack it by English law is illegal."  I think there was a little more than cursing going on if you catch my drift.

 

 

well, there didnt seem to be anything that warranted her being attacked like that imo.

Maybe not on the surface but think about it in context.  I'm sure there were a bunch of hyped up, "We need to defend our rights, bro" type of people present.  This ultimately leads to a crowd going after the target full steam, ie "Let's get those pigs" and cursing, rushing barricades, and more.  I believe in this situation you would fear for your life if you were outnumbered which they were.  MP5 ammo only lasts for so long and as many clips.  This is exactly like the Boston situation.
