There were protesters on the "roof" (Third floor roof) of the "Natwest Tower". (52 Tower) could be the reason for this Heavy Handedness, I did witness police Medic requesting a "Fit" team? (Using his fingers in a game of charade drawing a box in mid air) to a driver inside a police van and he replied I don't want it kicking off. Quiet why a Medic team requesting a FIT team, it seem at odds with their job.

It was all quiet and peaceful when I left them. There seem to be this tactics of making small cordons in mid-crowd causing riots to break out and they say to T.V. media speak "Facilitate" the peaceful protests and there one or two groups bent on causing trouble. Often or not it the police who are doing the pushing, and shoving just as much it was the paps and the protesters.

perhaps you should have another pinch of salt.
although you really should not have anymore than 6g a day

"I've been hit over round my mouth."

Any evidence to suggest so?

even if they didn't do it they are still guilty of it. more news like this will get the truth out to the public
we don't need evidence - its the fatcat bankers fault. we should stand in solidarity.

Because the tv pictures on BBC News and Sky News of, for instance, riot police batonning a TV cameraman from behind (i.e. when he didn't even know they were there) across the small of his back and pushing him into, and attempting to push him OVER, a fence/barricade (of about waist height) weren't enough to imply police brutality?* Because the fact that they brought dog handlers in for god only knows what reason is not enough to suggest they may have been provoking, intimidating and antagonising people through both actual violence and the threat of it? Because the fact that they prevented thousands of people who came to join a peaceful demonstration from actually entering it, by force (e.g. batonning), isn't enough to suggest that maybe the police are heavy-handed and oppressive, and the 'freedoms' that people spout on about us enjoying may not be as extensive as we thought?**

*All of this was while he was trying to film the crowd, mind you, and with no warning.
**And don't give that nonsense about the police worrying that violent groups from elsewhere were meeting up with the camp, most of the people who caused property damage were, at this point, either already dispersed or still being kettled or held in police custody elsewhere. The THOUSANDS of people who came to join the camp were clearly people who had come straight from work, etc, hence their timing in turning up from about 6pm onwards.

"we don't need evidence" - anarchist's plaything.



So every single person on here tells the complete truth then?

Funnily enough there sems to be plenty of postings in the website to get evidence of "police brutality" then one person says they were hot about the mouth by the police on this posting and suddenly "we don't need evidence".

So your saying people posting on this website can make anything up and post as they see fit to?

Ok, here goes then. I was trampled by a dozen intergalactic ufos which the police had brought in to stop rioting, I woke up shackled by handcuff to a submarine in the docklands with these grey aliens in police riot uniforms surrounding me. I'm also typing with my nose as my fingers were broken with police using cheese slices (organic of course).

Do you want any evidence? Zzzzzzzzzzz.

People caught outside the camp were being hit despite being sat down with their hands up
