This thread will be deleted, it violates the T&C (no petitions), and you used caps lock in your thread title. Double-whammy.

oh well, bye bye thread, and sorry to the mods

*whoops*

I've edited the title, and removed the petition, leaving up the link to the slide show. I hope that's more acceptable


I've edited again, because I've now seen all the pictures, (I posted the thread whilst half watching them) It clearly doesn't PROVE (lol) her innocence, in fact, it proves that she did throw her bike at him

I didn't see a woman fall into her path in the posted slide show. I did see an officer appear to make contact with her. I also saw her clearly use her bike against the police officer. I wish we had audio to hear what was being said to her by the police prior to this stupid incident.

A petition... give me a break. She's not on death row. She is entitled to her day in court before a jury of her peers. If these pictures are supposed to be so poignant and clear cut she should have no worries with a jury.

Maybe she'll think twice before she uses her bike as a weapon next time. That was a dumb move given the volatile nature of the environment that she was knowingly in. She made the choice to be there knowing that a riot situation was at hand. Oh well dum dum

She shoved her bike at the officer. Bad move for her to make.

You've got to be kidding. Look at the nazi pig (the one in the middle) push her in the back, what would you do? Her head jolts back with force and she has every right to be pissed off..

Well, I didn't see any "nazi pig" in that video, but I did see a police officer push her, then I saw her lose her temper and throw her bike at the guy.

Looks like she just bought a ticket for the train to Loserville, population: her.

I admire her instinctive fire.

What, for being stupid in a "no stupid" zone?

One thing to say ... the girl move is a bad one.
But damn if you push one animal in a corner he will bite !!

Now that I have seen the video I am even more convinced that this girl should have just kept moving. She was pushed not struck. Her "group think" courage got the best of her. That's what happens when you hang out in the streets during a failed protest that turned a little chaotic in the streets. They were warned with the very loud and new audio warning system.

Oops! She will lose her case based on the video footage.

I removed my petulant remark to the orificer but it does amaze me how people can condone such brute force of ramming batons in peoples backs. There is definitely a dichotomy of opinion here on ATS, regarding acceptable levels of enforcement.

It amazes me that people think they can throw their bike at a cop and not be responsible for their actions.

I guess i live in cuckoo land, where i'd expect a bit more civility from police, especially when she is making her way down the street with everyone else; it's just unfortunate she's at the back and the poli-cee enforcers are itching for a confrontation.

How about more civility from protesters?

Yeah, cops on crowd control are just looking for a fight

I need to buy a pair of rose-tinted glasses. Have you got a spare pair amongst your stash?

Nope, but when I was at 7-11 today, I saw that clues were on sale. You ought to look into that, I think you might need one.
