O/T arrested for calling somebody a muppet.

Interesting that when 900 people were arrested at the weekend for expressing sympathy for Palestinians, not one of the concerned

citizens of Rotherham posting above raised it as an issue.

I have had a difficult professional relationship with the some police officers during my career. I'd say that they are a mixed bag, as you would expect.

Instead of joining in this Twitter inspired pile on though, I would point out two things:

1. Police officers run towards trouble when we have the option of running away e.g.:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgwdyn4yqvo

2. The Manchester airport incident should have taught us the dangers of making judgements based on one half of a story (and I am being very generous in suggesting that we have as much as a half here).

You should all be saving your energies for the next time Twitter tells you to be outraged. My guess is that will be when the Ethiopian bloke convicted of ***ual assault in Epping gets a sentence that Twitter deems not to be harsh enough.

Anybody that ***ually assaults kids should rot in jail the dirty *******s.

So why didn’t you raise it on a thread as an issue if you were so concerned at the injustice?
Or is it a typical trying to mask the issue of the police by highlighting an issue that you now feel so strong about to deflect from the issue ?
That’s not like a certain political party now is it. 😎🤣

Are you on the inside track here, Yak?

What were the exact circumstances that resulted in that arrest? Did he casually call someone a puppet, did he scream it in someone's face whilst so close as to land spittle on their face, was he part of a mob brandishing weapons trying to force entry to a building or was he on his own, is that all that he said/shouted?

When you know the answers to those questions then you will be able to comment on what happened from an informed position. Until then you cannot.

I have never used most of the comments that you attribute to me, but yes, I deeply dislike the way Twitter now forms and drives the opinions of some people by posting unbalanced and partial information.

. puppet for ****s sake , frightened to say the word yer muppet .

I saw the protest over the weekend as it featured widely on the news and on social media. I thought the arrests were wrong, but could

understand the difficulty of the police as Palestine Action is a proscribed organisation. The police were in a difficult position.

You reacted to a very short clip on X, so didn't understand the context of why the police approached the individual filming.

The difference is that I considered the evidence and decided not to create a thread. You simply overreacted.

Or simply quoted my opinion. It’s an opinion and I wasn’t hysterical just my opinion so how you know I overreacted I’m not sure.
As far the Palestine marches without overreacting I’m sure they were all just simply marching and the police arrested them for absolutely no reason at all. We all know that these marches aren’t like the far right ones they are all innocent concerned citizens is that about right ?

There's nothing really that difficult for the Police to understand , Palestine Action is a terrorist group since some of it's members committed an act of terrorism and so showing support for PA is unlawful .

It really couldn't be any simpler , just because a few elderly people and the usual Palestine support mob decide they are apparently above the law is neither here nor there .

The government couldn't have been any clearer on what would happen if you took to the streets and supported PA .

The arrests aren't wrong because PA is a proscribed terrorist organisation for a reason and have committed other offences which can't be made public because they are a threat to national security .
