I dont agree with that. Im sorry but violence is the ONLY thing they understand. What people seem to be forgetting is that these protests were the PEACFUL ONES, the police started the trouble by kettling and mistreating the people to get this kind of reaction. However had EVERYBODY FOUGHT BACK, it would be the last time they tried to pull that.

Why? Because even with a poor turn out we would outnumber them 100 to 1, we have the foce to simply walk right over the top of them AT ANYTIME, we just need to get enough people to realise it, then we have our own "nuclear option". At that point violence will become irrelevant.

Once these corporate scumbags realise we will do whatever it takes, only then will we get justice, while we keep acting like scared sheep, they will keep treating us as such and the violence at these protest will continue to escalate, they dont want to ban the protests because that confirms what alot of people already suspect, they hope that the violence the cops are using on the people will be enough to stop them turning up!! (but its not gonna work that way!)

We have received a considerable number of complaints about an interview Ben Brown did last night on the BBC News Channel with Jody McIntyre. The context of the interview was that Mr McIntyre was on the student demonstrations in London last week and video emerged yesterday of him being pulled out of his wheelchair by police.



I am aware that there is a web campaign encouraging people to complain to the BBC about the interview, the broad charge being that Ben Brown was too challenging in it. However I am genuinely interested in hearing more from people who have complained about why they object to the interview. I would obviously welcome all other views.

I have reviewed the interview a few times and I would suggest that we interviewed Mr McIntyre in the same way that we would have questioned any other interviewee in the same circumstances: it was quite a long interview and Mr McIntyre was given several minutes of airtime to make a range of points, which he did forcefully; Ben challenged him politely but robustly on his assertions.

Mr McIntyre says during the interview that "personally he sees himself equal to anyone else" and we interviewed Mr McIntyre as we would interview anyone else in his position. Comments more than welcome.

are the police dumb? no they are not, do the police get training? yes they do.

how can they see a man in a wheel chair as a threat? if he was in the way they could of easily wheeled him away without mounting him on the floor and dragging him. he was doing nothing wrong and was not committing a crime.

the police are highly trained and train for these situations, it was obviously done on purpose to either incite a response from protesters or because we have certain policeman who are not acting in a proper manner.

either way, abusing their power.

That highly trained that they don't see the number of phones around them recording the act.

I don't think it was an attempt to incite the protestors at all.

What we don't see is what the disabled guys actions were previously to that.

I again must state the police offers involved in that were over the top.

edit on 14-12-2010 by JonoEnglish because: (no reason given)

Their bosses and elite rulers put them in over the top. The current policing methods incite the violence. You talk earlier about provocation, the Police tactics is provocation at its best. If the Police didn't conduct themselfs like the Gestapo you'd see much less violence. I promise you.

Today in work people were watching the youtube video that is in the OP. The response? This guys an a**hole, an idiot troublemaker, even after they saw the interview thet still blamed THE VICTIM, at this point people simply are incapable of believing anything that is not told to them by the MSM, every time I tried to explain what would happen?,
