yes, but i never said his actions were justified
i did reply to the point raised that she was no peacefully protesting
why? didnt say i didnt like the forum
i dont like the immature class war attitude of some of its posters, but i dont hold the forum responsible for that
i dont like the winging that goes on about how the whole state is out to get you
i dont like the fact you cannot express an opinion that isnt supportive of the popular politic with attracting a torrent of abuse
but have never said i dont like the forum
It's funny how jonajuna is a stickler for law and order, except when it comes to his own drug use

by the same token why should DC 'live in russia' then?
who on this thread has said or even suggested that the 'whole state...blahblah'?

it has more to do with you being a full of shit goal post moving apologist cretin than having an opposing opinion to the monothought clique, you can see that can't you?

You get abuse for not being able to actually engage with arguments without charicaturing them in the above manner.
I'm so wadical, up against the 'monothought clique' establishment.
No, you're an apologist for beating up defenceless women.
who mentioned russia? not me
it is difficult to argue a point when from the moment you express your opinion you are subject to abuse
read through the thread again.. see how it went
you recoursed to the dated arguement of if you hate this country then fuck off. Used to be expressed as 'if you love russia so much why don't you go live thier'
Not sure what mental gymnastics you did to assume that opposing state violence against peaceful protest leads me to hate my country.
The G20 protests caused so much furore over what? Police violence. Condemned tactics by the IPCC and other bodies.
and yet you seek to justify them. Makes you look a bit craven tbf

Really? Then you'll have no difficulty quoting the offence which consists of "shouting and swearing in public", or at least the Act in which it appears.this one
why which one are you in?
yes the media did report that at the expense of balanced reporting of the thousands upon thousands of pounds of criminal damage committed to private property. but since when has the media ever given balanced reporting? its always been biased towards what sells best today
who was it that said "there is no truth in the news and no news in the truth"?
Russians, except they'd learned to use capital letters, so that it made sense:who was it that said "there is no truth in the news and no news in the truth"?
The minute you start making any defence, any 'contextualising', any 'mitigating circumstances', that is a de facto partial defence of the officer.
Hope you don't have a partner or kids. Or do they get told "well, it's your fault for being there" when you reply to an argument with your fists?
she gives it to the family of Ian Tomlinson? they have lost their breadwinner, they need the cash and she was so determined to go to his vigil....
IIRC she was remonstrating due to someone off camera getting a bit of british bobby justice
So nobody should go where they might get a smack from the pigs?-we have a responsibility to keep ourselves out of violence too

The real story, the death of Tomlinson (an uninvolved worker on his way home) was the real story and the media were two steps behind on that one.
Well done for quoting the relevant bit.within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress thereby.
Right there - you don't know the first thing about any of this do you.
Which explains why you ignored this (correct) statement:
So your well thought out 'she started it' argument kinda falls down at that point.
You said 'breadwinner', not 'father and husband'.so the family didnt lose the father and husband?

That's exactly what you're doing by crying provocation.when did i say "she started it"?
the closest i have come to that would be:
"how the copper conducted himself was wrong..... but she acted equally as wrong by going in and in and in.. the term is provocation (but still not justifying his reaction)"
and the evidence for this "off camera" incident.... its off camera!
just to make that point like
the copper could equally say "well off camera she spat in my face and exposed a blade"
would be just as much evidence... complete bollox but........
Well done for quoting the relevant bit.
Police officers are trained to police public disorder. Your argument falls flat.
really? im trained to deal with mental illness, it still distresses me
how in the instance of criminal behaviour, just because you are trained to deal with something makes it ok to be a "victim" of that behaviour
also, how about all the other people around? do you want the police to walk around asking each person individually if the act happened to be causing "harassment, alarm or distress thereby."?

You said 'breadwinner', not 'father and husband'.
no, even on the shortest edits of those events you can see her going at the copper several times.. I AM STILL NOT SAYING HER BEHAVIOUR JUSTIFIED A SLAP IN THE FACE (sorry to say it so loud, but people keep missing that part)... but it is a bit daft and provocative to do soThat's exactly what you're doing by crying provocation.
And it wasn't completely off camera.
But you've just waded into this knowing sweet fuck all, whereas others on here have viewed hours off citizen video of the events over those few days.
