I wasnt there so I havent a clue but 5000 officers sounds very extreme but ill take your word for it. I still dont conceed that the police were any more intimidating than 60,000 screaming thugs.
Nope, I just dont think EVERY policeman is racist. This institutional racism stuff is rubbish. Its the same as any other generalisation, bullshit.
I got beaten up in school by a group black kids once, should I be intimidated by every black kid I meet? Or every black policeman I meet?
I take it by that comment that you are black or asian then?
Ill repeat once again. If the protesters just wanted a peaceful protest then they are perfectly ok with me. If they want to physically attack property or person then they are breaking the law and should be dealt with.
As you were there, can you tell me when this incident occured? The article doesnt say when the protest was.
