I thought it was the done thing nowadays
Are you telling me the likes of Mike brolly, matt tees, dave Moore, John cockerill DIDNT have gender reveal parties?

I can think of a few players down the years who had baby cover up parties never mind revealing them  

Quoted from KingstonMariner

As others have said you don’t need to be committing acts of violence for the police to use violence against you.

The people at Clapham May have been committing a crime but the police clearly used disproportionate force. Ironic really given the reason for the vigil in the first place was because a copper had allegedly murdered a woman in the street.

I don't agree with the violence against the police but you do have to think that they have brought all these problems on themselves since covid started. Since the ban on mass meetings, because of covid, we have all witnessed on tv the huge number of mass attendances on beaches, parks, demo's etc. and the police did nothing.

It's easy to see the police outnumbered at these events but if they had done their job at the first mass meeting then the rest would have been deterred. They did not have to wade into crowds but merely stop people getting their. Here we have had loads of trippers coming down the A/M180 so why not turn the cars around at say Great Coates r/about, Laceby r/about, Toll Bar r/about etc. The message would get through; instead our Chief Constable took his now widely reported viewpoint.

I'm not saying it would be that easy in a large city but if things were prevented months ago the police would not be in the position they were at Bristol and Clapham Common.

We’ve plenty of idiots here in Bristol, as you can tell from last night, but this is something else....

That’s awesome man! Do you think it will be lower than the quarter a year ago? I’d be so happy for you.

Love to your meter and all the little appliances ❤️

Please leave my little appliances out of this

Listened to the early news and the Chief Constable and Mayor were confirming many were 'professional type rioters' who in from outside Bristol to get at the police.

Their are idiots all over but the worst of the rioters went prepared for violence. This is no reflection on the main population of Bristol. Bristol just happened to be the chosen town.

Astounding that anyone swallows that horseshít.

So they were randomly walking down a road and just happened to find fireworks, bottles, bricks etc. at the same time as a few more doing their daily exercise outside a police station,

No they were probably ordinary, local people rather than “professional rioters” from outside Bristol. Coverage from the night shows the bricks, railings & other bits came from a nearby building site.

This line has been used over and over and over to delegitimise any protest. And it always will be whilst people continue to swallow it.

It's not about swallowing anything, the police are far from perfect. There is a law, like it or not, about people not being aloud in mass's because of covid. You don't have to like a law but you have to obey, If not you have anarchy.

What’s any of that got to do with these people being “professional rioters” and you swallowing the line?

You’ve said it yourself - the police ARE far from perfect. One of their main problems is that they lie constantly, all day every day, and you don’t have to go back to Hillsborough or Orgreave to find examples.

Remember when we were playing away at Chesterfield and the police put out a communication to the effect that a number of pubs were off limits to away fans because town fans had smashed them up? Which turned out to be a complete and utter lie. Just made up. And for what reason? Oh, because it suited them.
