There is nothing fake about the the pics tho - they were dealt with comprehensively. The first had a shield thrown at him and the second was not tackled but pushed into a wire fence then stood on by three officers. Neither of the detained are unused to confrontation, they are seen covering their heads due to physical and verbal threats that were being made by the officers. Both had cuts and bruising but nothing serious - unlike the camper trampled by a riot horse.
They aren't at all surprised or intimidated by the arrests - the police did the usual schizo act:
"DON'T FUCKING MOVE!" "GET THAT ARM BEHIND YOU!" "MOVE AND I'LL BATTER YOU"
....
"You alright mate? Any injuries? We're just here to help Mr --, as long as you protest legally we're all for it. Help us to help you. Ok mate, on you go."
- Which unsurprisingly has not changed their feelings towards Her Majesty's finest.
Solidarity with all those arrested and injured - we still made it!
