  1. These degenerates are also taught the ‘corpsing’ method by their comrades which is when they get arrested they go completely limp because they know it will require extra officers to arrest them as they need to be treated carefully.

    So these protests are designed to use up as much police resources as possible. Not sure how that’ll help their cause exactly..oh wait it doesn’t.

  2. Policing any protests take hundreds of officers from the front line. Hell, policing any large event takes hundreds of officers away from the front line.

    Policing XR? Hundreds of response cops taken to police it.

    Policing Free Palestine protests? Hundreds of response cops taken to police it.

    Policing BLM? Hundreds of response cops taken to police it.

    Policing an Arsenal game? Hundreds of response cops taken to police it.

    Policing a big event for the royal family? Hundreds of response cops taken to police it.

    Policing inherently includes dealing with large events, and that’s why we have resilience built in to the system. There are officers that can be pulled away from their day job for this sort of thing, and it won’t massively impact their ability to keep general public safe. (However it does have a bigger impact on ongoing investigations, as any officer spending a day at a football match isn’t investigating the 15 robberies that are on their workfile.)

  3. Front line duties that are increasingly necessary because of yet again shitty government policy, they make their own fucking problems, swim in your own shit you cunts

  4. When your ‘Key Workers’ are involved in this situation : It clearly shows failure from the Top.
    (Ruling Party).

    Liz Truss Governing, Ministers are a dysfunctional body.
    Some ‘Emergency Normality’ needs to take place.

    The Dinancial statement can be brought forward, to bring understanding.

    It has been a roller coaster ride. That even stops.
    UK is in a ‘Alll round’ crisis. Its going from bad to worse.
    You have a ‘revengeful hard headed Leader. Doesn’t want to talk to DUP. That’s not Leadership.

    UK is currently run by two people.
    Kwasi first then Lizz.

    The Country is going to the….

  5. So a bit like during the queen’s elaborate state funeral when 1000s of them stood around all day and even police forces from other areas of the country came to London? Except that was a funeral for an old woman and this is a genuine global crisis.

  6. I have an idea

    What about identifying the protestors and then robbing their houses while they are out on the protest. When they call the police, just say that they are busy with a protest

    Its a good lesson in resource management and expectation
