Olympic torch protests

Free Tibet | 06.04.2008 12:04 | Social Struggles

Just seen on BBC news site about protests so far...

There's nice footage of tussles at Wembley, the torch being grabbed whilst carried by Konnie Huq (who had said she was going to wear a free Tibet T-shirt, but wasn't), and someone trying to put it out with a fire extinguisher...I'm sure there'll be more later. Police look like they're being on top, and trying to move media away whilst 10s of them pile on to protestor.

Keep it up.

Interference with the protests?

What do the police think they are doing? As far as I was aware, they didn't have the power to grab people and throw them to the ground for setting of fire extinguishers. Or to throw a man to the ground for attempting to touch something.

Surely their behaviour has the be questioned?
