Groucho - what on earth has the colour of the protestors got to do with anything? Race has always got to be dragged into the equation, hasn't it?

In the past some of the 'associations' within the Police have attended events en masse - e.g. the Gay Police Association marching at gay pride events etc.
I certainly did not see any of those bodies at this march as a core group. The Black Police organisation presumably numbers several hundred/thousand (?) officers.
It will be interesting to hear what those groups think of Barnbrook's presence!

If the cops in Iraq had been marching for better pay or something, you can bet the cod-left here would have been cock-a-hoop.

Yeah, but the focussing on the one bnp presence on the whole thing just seems rather pointless. Worse, doing so merely draws yet more attention to racial devides than industrial and class ones.
I have to disagree with you about this - I think the BNP candidate at the front of the Police march is worthy of discussion - I was pretty disgusted by it tbh, those fuckers are becoming more and more respectable.

you think that a major bnp politician canvassing for votes by allying himself with the police (and all that entails) and being allowed to march at the front, in effect making himself a figurehead for the march is the same as some lone bnper wandering through the rank and file?
the politician in question knows that by getting his picture at the front of the march he is making a connection between himself and the police in the eyes of the voters. he is saying "look at me, i represent law and order, the police support me and i them". If you think race doesn't play an issue in class and labour politics i think you're deeply wrong.

A pedant writes: from here it could be said that Zizek encourages racist violence... it's all context dear boy.

Quite, and the context of a class war thread makes perfect sense...
