I was watching a documentary the other day on the Met polices policies when policing the G20. So they had a few scraps with the self rightous arseholes that make up anti capitalistsa dn enviromental groups. This is nothing compared to what they do to protesters in western europe never mind the rest of the world. They have it easy, they only have to contend with police with batons not police with tear gas, shotguns, water cannon etc. Sure the death of Ian tomlinson was a mistake, but the amount of abuse the police gets, both verbal and physical, you can see why they were so corsous and at times aggresive. These people want to ruin poeples lively hood, and generally piss people off.
