@Jim,
Doesn't this make you want to go back and be a constable again?

But would he have been one of the police that was on the march or one of the police that was policing the march?

Not at all, I did my service and left as my conditions of service allowed.......but the law of the land must be enforced regardless of opinions and individual judgements....otherwise anarchy prevails

Yeah, but the death of that newspaper seller on his way home from work put a bit of a downer on the police acting freely when there is a protest on

Exactly, they outnumbered those "protesters" by atleast 9 to 1 and just sat back and let them cause all that damage.

Should of sent in the police officers from the miners strike, (of which my uncle was an officer at that time), to sort them out.

My experience with demonstrations (if they are legal) so long as it takes place in a peaceful manner without unnecessary damage, it's OK! But then there is a risk that hostile groups in the friendly demonstration crowd, trace out the unwanted results as a consequence, just like hooligans at a football match

I wonder two things, how many protesters voted in the last election, and much extra burden to the taxpayer has this protest cost?

And I blame the unions for getting people riled up in the first place
