Campaign Against Police Helicopters?

23.03.2009 12:08

The bike ride from Manchester to the airport detention centre was followed by 2 police vans & 2 off road police bikes. One of the vans overtook the cycles to go in front. One of the police motorbikes told off a cyclist for blocking off the end of a road to ensure the safety of the cyclists. The cop said "don't do that again; it's not your... it's not your junction". A third police motorbike was added to block off roads as the cyclists had been doing themselves.

Those who entered the car park via the second entrance were not searched... the shoulder number of the police officer that pushed that dude over was 1898
