Derby G8 M17 Police
Watching them watching us... | 17.03.2005 18:50 | G8 2005 | Repression | Sheffield
Liverpool Police in their robocop body armour win the prize for the most over the top costumes (they were also camera shy so no snaps of them) and the London Met take the prize for trying hardest to intimidate the protestors.
According to the local rag there were "A thousand officers from 23 forces" and "policing the event was expected to cost between £1m and £2m", since there were perhaps 100 protestors it cost around £20,000 per protestor... bonkers.
