UK kid itimidatied by the "Anti-terrorist" police for organizing protest

I think we need to make a "big brother/police" thread because there are too many stories like this that happen all the fucking time and it never EVER stops being shocking and infuriating. It's like there's no limit. As low of an opinion as you can possibly have of police, you would like to think they as human beings must have SOME shred of dignity but it never ends, there's always a story of police doing something even more vile.

 

This is absolute bullshit. This really just infuriated me right now.

 

What do you expect - it's their job... And I wonder how nervous those stupid fucks are after the students keep on moving and every protest has a high chance to get in the public via the media.
Too bad for the lad, 12 years is fucking young for this kind of attention, I hope his parents don't let him down but back him up instead, maybe produce further bad publicity for the cops - it's a perfect story for this...

 

I know exactly what you mean but it isn't. The more people accept it as normal behavior the more they get away with. I would rather everyone freak the fuck out and riot instead of thinking "cops are gonna be cops, what are ya gonna do about it" because there ARE things we can do about it but no one has the nerve to do it because this kind of behavior is so commonplace it's discouraging. These "police going too far" stories are making us feel helpless and we're NOT helpless we need to say "being scum is NOT part of being a cop". It is more productive to be outraged and making a big deal out of it. If only there was a way we could protest something like that without us getting massacred......

 

Thats exactly what I meant - the important part of it is not going to be discouraged/intimidated by their doings and fucking do something about/against it - the bad part on it: The price an individual has to pay to be that "productive". But the more people are getting over the line and keep the cops busy (up to the heart attack), the less time for a massacre they'll have.
In the meantime I do my little riots, at least pretending not to fear the fucking clones anymore, but actually I pay dearly for it, nearly a fifth of my income is wasted on fines I have to pay to avoid beeing locked up - but giving in? Defenitely no, they need to be teached some manners!
