    Unacceptable violence of UK police towards UK citizens

    This video documents VERY CLEARLY that the police were out of control at previous protests. They TOTALLY over reacted and abused their power.

    Typical dirty policemandry, they don't usually get filmed doing this. Sadly this is the norm. But I have to say the UK is better than 90% of the world for police. Yeah protesters, we have it pretty good here.

    It seems as though there are very few limits to the police force's power. They get away with this type of behaviour all the time, and there is no one there to stop them. Very rarely are these incidents recorded, meaning there is little evidence to hold police accountable. Videos like these are really the only things that can improve the situation. Public awareness is extremely powerful

    Absolutely abhorrent treatment of 2 women by Police. This is precisely the reason we need to keep our right to film and photograph Police doing their business. They will try and use Section 76 of the Counter Terrorism Act to try to prosecute you for taking pictures, but you should always be allowed to document the situation. Its useful for both sides!

    didn't watch the whole thing because this shit happens all the time and is never going to change. a lot of police do not know a persons rights, but it did kinda look like she was resiting arrest on the ground. whether she should have been arreseted is another question.
