There were surreal moments: Earlier in the morning, police impounded an armored personnel carrier — complete with what looked like a machine-gun turret — near London's Liverpool Street Station as slack-jawed office workers took pictures with their cell phones.

These were the guys dressed in police uniforms. Tell me, what is it you think there aim was?
Cause trouble and they were stopped and arrested.
I have no problem with that, what i do have the main problem is when the police attacked unprovoked in a crowd of peaceful protestors.
Do you think what they did at the camp was right?
It depends... I'd need to hear an explanation from the police to get their side of the story.
Ofc
I'm sure they have a wonderful explanation :roll:
We'll see. Why don't you ask for one?
The police are ordered to break up the crowds and move them out of the area. They follow orders, the crowds resist, and all they get is a few thumps on the head from police batons? It could have been worse, the police could have used harsher methods.
Sounds like a good lesson needs to be learned by the protestors. Maybe they should find better ways to protest? Certainly getting spanked on the street like the unruly children they are didn't solve any problems,,,
Why out of the area? They are not there illegal, this was a legal planned protest.
Ordered by who? And for what reason?
Get them out of an area where they were sitting and into another area where they will sit .. what brilliant logic :doh

Protests occured miles away from the meeting place of Obama or Brown. Just admit it, the police was in the wrong here.
Legal? Did they have government permits?
I was there and i agree, a tiny tiny minority of protestors were 'asking for it' but i saw police kicking and hitting ENVIROMENTAL protestors - They're like freaking pacifists and riot police was surrounding them
The police crossed the line and they provoked the protestors to attack. They have no one but themselves to blame
The right of assembly, association, redress, and protest are innate and inalienable.

YouTube - G20 summit protests turn violent
Once people start busting crap it's time for rational people to leave. If they don't they get what they deserve. The police can not sit by and allow a few people to destroy the city because the "herd" refuses to get the hell out of the way.

Such a pity that police are restricted and restrained.
I don't trust them with batons, let alone tasters, gas and guns. They are much too immature with it. They'd probably overuse it
Dead civilians?
The Met said that as the officers tried to revive Mr Tomlinson they came under attack from protesters who threw bottles at them.
“One or maybe two plastic bottles were thrown, but it was by people further back in the crowd who did not know what was going on.
Plastic bottles? thrown from the back of the crowd? ever try to throw an empty plastic bottle? they don't go far, and when they hit can barely be felt.
I bet the truth isn't being told about the bottles...
A mob is a large group of people with no brains engaged....
Maybe a few new lumps from batons will help them to act smarter next time...
The police was so vicious yesterday, unbelieveable
