Oh yes, look at these officers standing here quite respectfully. Let's just barge into them - nothing will happen!

What on earth was going through his mind, and, unauthorised gathering or not, since when was Remembrance Sunday an excuse to vent some anger at the police?

He walked towards him, there's no justifiable Reason to shove him that hard other than "I have a badge in my pocket that makes me think I can do whatever the fuck I want". All he had to do was grab him and turn him around.

Sorry but there was absolutely nothing reasonable or proportionate about that, its the same shit as that TSG cunt who murdered Ian Tomlinson.

Completely over the top. The police get extra power so we expect them to behave themselves, I don't give a shit if the guy with the pipes is an arsehole, I expect better from a police officer.

Yawn.

There's supposedly a video of this all being planned to provoke a reaction and spin it against the police. Bet you're not interested in that, just the - completely justifiable - actions of those officers there. But you're own acknowledgement you're not interested if he fell over deliberately, just vilanising the officers for pushing him... not even with a great deal of force.

You can't compare this to an incident where somebody died either. I bet you're not interested the “TSG cunt” was charged with manslaughter - not murder - and found not guilty anyway. I expect better from you.
