Arrest before Nottingham Pride 2009

Random Queer Marcher | 25.07.2009 21:38 | Repression

Multiple police arrest someone on the Forest Recreation ground in Nottingham around 11am 25th July 2009 before the Nottingham Pride March.







The arrested man had been shouting his indignation at the police and was arrested after a couple of encounters with the police. I witnessed the arrest and took pictures until stopped by the police. Multiple police where there to arrest.

I saw no violence from the man. He was later released and I checked with him at the Pride event on the park that he wanted these pictures uploaded.

My opinion was that the man was escalating the argument with police and might have been able to make his point to more people if he hadn't done so. His tactics - his choice. He can explain his opinion. I think that arrests should be documented by bystanders such as myself and I should not have been stopped from filming.
