Wall goes up
Wall gets sprayed
Police arrive
Wall gets dismantled
This protest caused a lot of comotion from a number of parties and after Nottingham Uni security failed to apprehend the situation, the police were called. This resulted in the threat of arrest to a number of students; breach of the peace, assaulting a police officer, 'filming a police officer'(!), obstructing a police officer and obstruction of the highway.
One student was arrested to 'apprehend a breach of the peace', despite actually doing very little wrong.
The wall was dismantled (rather symbolic given the context) and moved on after about half an hour.
Police state, anyone?
