Meaning “We can ignore the people who are cross now much more easily than those who would be cross if we didn’t trample people’s right to protest”
Well yes, by illegally locking up the organising committee of Republic it made it harder for for those serious questions to be asked on the day about why we were wasting tax payers’ money on Charles’ vanity parade when kids are starving.
Every once in a while, people seem to want to cosplay at being a subjugated serf, so the Met has to step in and play their part in maintaining the illusion by publicly oppressing a few dissidents.
Like “Why the hell are we still putting up with a monarchy when it should have been consigned into history when we evolved into having an elected government to run things instead?”
“Man responsible for Met police shortcomings insists he did nothing wrong”
Why don’t we lock up the whole country? You know, just in case.
This would be easier to listen to if Rowley had actually apologised to the dozens of people they unlawfully arrested and maligned.
Maybe we should lockup the MPs who constantly break the laws they implement.
Just remember the order’s would have came from the top brass.
Much more serious questions than “why did you arrest your own volunteers” and “if I am in possession of a rape alarm while something important is happening in London, am I at risk of arrest now”?
Ah Questions. We all know how dangerous they can be. Good job guys.
‘The investigation will be lengthy’ meaning he hopes so lengthy everyone just forgets about this, so that when they are all released without charge no-one notices.
Sure, we might have discarded the public’s rights and civil liberties in the name of the status quo, but if we didn’t, they would’ve been able to … *checks notes* question the status quo!
What I don’t understand is how they didn’t think this would play out?
The whole world watched the Met arrest peaceful protestors and immediately started asking, “hey what were those guys protesting?”.
If they had just let them wave their signs around they would have pissed off a handful of people around them and maybe had a mention or two in local media, but it would have been framed as “some people want to spoil everyone’s fun” or “well now is not the time for this”, and the protestors would have looked like bitter cranks. The cameras would not have caught them, so the vast majority of the world wouldn’t have known about them.
I wonder if Mark Rowley can demonstrate where the question of human rights isn’t a serious one
Sadiq Khan must have the worst political position in the country: if the police force are terrible then the media blames him. If the police are great then the media thanks the Tories
Come on, the MET has to something to detract from the fact that so many of it’s officers are sexually attacking members of the public.
