Comment	They just provided a police escort to the racists. 'The policing lead, CS Alan Murray, said: "We identified a group as football risk supporters, who we believed posed a threat to public safety."We spoke with this group and, at their request, escorted them to the Gallowgate area of the city where they dispersed."' [https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/18531056.watch-police-kettle-group-hundreds-turn-george-square-protest/](https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/18531056.watch-police-kettle-group-hundreds-turn-george-square-protest/) And then the local paper helpfully protrays this as the police coming down hard on THEM by 'kettling them'. Putting the police's own statement that they were helping the RACISTS at the very bottom where people are less likely to notice it. And ignoring the police ACTUALLY kettling the ANTI-racists as form of intimidation. This is what happens when everyone bends over backwards to pretend the police AREN'T on the side of the racists. They get to outright declare they provided the racists with a police escort and no one even notices.
