Of course he's 'ignored'. He's police, not a paramedic. I'm not really sure what the old guy was trying to achieve by marching up to riot police gesticulating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old boy had a police helmet in his left hand, clearly asking if he could borrow a baton to join in the skull-cracking fun. Message not quite understood by the copper IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They apparently reported him being injured due to a "trip and fall", according to Twitter. Only when the video was released did they suspend two officers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue its probably his duty as a human being too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, looked like he was calling a paramedic, barely touched him too, the old guy just lost his balance. Seconds later they had other protesters to deal with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I was warned about over there was that you never, ever approach the police. Would've been nice if someone had warned me before I approached a parked patrol car for help with a very minor incident and was screamed at to, "STAY AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE! STAY AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE!" Whoever posted that they act like an occupying army was dead on. No matter how many times people try to point out aggression, corruption, and plain stupidity from our police force, there is absolutely no comparison. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They scream at you like that if you absentmindedly step on a yellow line in an airport too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very confusing for anyone from the UK, and I'd imagine for plenty of other countries too. If you're black, you're screwed either way, as we've seen from videos of black people sitting stock still with their hands clearly visible and still being shot to death. All you have to do it yell "DO NOT PULL A GUN ON ME, SIR!" a few times and you're covered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Is it a sense of entitlement and white privilege that these guys think it's a good idea to get in the way of a bunch of riot police walking down the street? Would a young black man saunter into the way of a pack of riot police and be shocked to be shoved out of the way and not have them all stop what they are doing and hang on his every word instead? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sense of fucking stupidity is what it os. The correct response* to a group of tooled-up police coming towards you is to get the fúck out of the way as quickly and unobtrusively as possible. In fact, as the places these confrontations take place don't tend to be secret, maybe just not go there for a while? *And I speak as a straight white male Government Employee. I cannot imagine what life must be like just now for so many people deemed second class by accident of birth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
