It was a question Ram, and I do fully accept the points in your first paragraph...there is never a justification for ‘innocent business owners’ to suffer in that way.
Thinking of the BLM protest in Bristol though...I’m not aware that any damage was done to business premises or that there was looting and arson. Clearly the statue was toppled and damaged and I have to admit to having some sympathy with that action in all the circumstances at the time.
I’m not certain that was the best way of going about things, but I suspect the police probably believed the anger to be much more justified than the type of behaviour we see from the ‘far right’...or right wing extremists, if that’s a more fitting description.
Slightly more light hearted, I was listening to radio 5 live, and the presenter said that he was sure that every neutral football fan would be pleased to see Leeds finally play in the Premier League again. Surely, if a fan is neutral, then why would they care any more about Leeds than say West Brom? Seems pretty biased to me, and I'm pretty biased!
Don't talk wet. Again an allogation of "my friends" You need help.
So in a line of policemen, a few bent the knee, some didn't. Whose orders were they?
Who gave the order to get kitted up for battle, or to run away? The Home office?
You obviosuly don't have a clue on the chain of command, unless the home office now sit on horses at the front. Laughable.
Fair go, I tend to focus on broadcast media. There's a pretty feisty little chat online on this exact subject, the case for the defence being that the photos and videos offered to the police (the ones now in the public domain) might not have been clear enough for a description!
Sack? But she isn't.
