Quote from: redarmy82 on March 12, 2021, 04:16:44 pm70% of murder victims are male.Maybe we should all stay in after six. Just keep lockdown going forever.And what percentage of sexual assault and rape victims are male? What percentage of males get hassled and verbally abused on the street by women?

Shameful. problem is they are holding a vigil but many are not social distancing ect. So by them being there they are potentially putting innocent peoples lives at risk, we’re nearly at the end of lockdown surly the best thing would have been to wait a few more weeks Everything I've seen shows the vigil was safe and relatively distanced until the pigs showed up. And naturally they waited until it was dark as well to move in, so they could better intimidate their targets. It's a vigil for crying out loud, mostly made up of women, there's no call for kettling and antagonising them.Raven, theres an element of truth to that. But at least something is finally happening, ideally we wouldn't need to wait for anyone to lose their lives at all for these conversations to start happening, but here we are.

If the issue is with my lack of civility and not with the police assaulting women, trampling tributes left for a woman who was murdered by one of their own, that tells a story in and of itself. I'm tired of being civil with thugs in uniform. No, I'm sure it's not all cops. But it's too many. It's enough. And they'll always look after their own first. Far as I see it, the police as an institution tar whole groups of people with the same brush, so I have no problem doing the same to them.
Idler, they were predominantly women with candles and flowers. It was a vigil. Some of them had some ACAB signs, but to be honest, the vigil was for a woman who was likely murdered by a cop, so some anti-cop sentiment was to be expected. It was still peaceful and would have passed. But a few hand-drawn signs and rude chants don't warrant police grappling and swinging punches at unarmed women.
It should also be remembered that the peaceful protest was also an illegal gathering and against COVID prevention rules.Why didn’t the people who had gone to pay their respects to the murder victim just go home when they had done so instead of hanging around for such a long time.

Those police officers in attendance could have been patrolling the streets protecting innocent people instead.

Under what law do you say it was and with what legal qualification are you stating this?
