| Comment | By the sound of it there were nowhere near enough cops to do anything apart from stop fights breaking out.
If someone is shouting abuse but not actually physically hurting anyone, arresting them means 2 cops have to leave the scene.
When there are loads of cops at a protest they get called mob handed, dressed for a riot, etc. There's also the fact budget cuts = fewer cops. So policing is done with as few cops as possible for reasons out of control of the police themselves.
ACAFU puts the blame in the wrong place. |
