So the top stories in the Media over the last few days are all about those nasty horrid policemen who are alleged to have assaulted innocent passers-by …. totally without any provocation at all.
Every bloody time the Lefties and their assortment of unwashed hangers on decide to hold a ‘peaceful protest’ about some cause celebre or other (and use this as an excuse to go on a criminal rampage through the streets) – it gives rise to the same old ‘bash the Bill’ stories for days and weeks afterwards.
Have you noticed that, in amongst all the masked and hooded up ‘protestors’, are hundreds and hundreds of Press photographers – all crowding round desperate for a compromising picture???
They aren’t interested in photographing (or videoing) some unwashed hoodlum baiting and taunting Police or throwing stuff at them. All they want is the ‘action’ photo of a police officer responding to the provocation. Front page news: “Police attack innocent student / housewife / mother of 4” etc etc.
There are times when I really think that the answer is for Police to say “Sod it – let them riot and burn the place down. Let’s see if the Press want to put THAT on the front page complete with the identities of the thugs.”

The rat pack need to don riot gear and go trudging and wedging on the front line – they would soon tell a different story .
