Thanx video posse!
Disgusted and appalled by the police's indiscriminate violence...
Brutality at park gates - anyone want to press charges?

Handily enough I'm also pretty prominent on the footage above - although I could do with some photos/footage/witnesses of me being dragged out the crowd, shoved back in and then pushed over a bike by a charming WPC who just watched while I floundered on the tarmac with my foot trapped under the bike tire. Muchos thanks to the fellow protestor who picked me up and made sure I was OK - I think I was too shocked to thank you at the time, so if you're out there, please get in touch. Ditto to the people who I didn't realise at the time, but having seen the footage, can see were trying to help me stay upright while I was struggling my way out of a headlock.
The footage is pretty good - though from the vantage point in the park you can't make out how much the coppers were pushing us from all sides into each other and crushing us before we were even near the park gates. They really did behave like animals - ignoring our pleas for them to calm down and stop pushing 'cos people were getting hurt. The protestors were remarkably calm, restrained and good-natured under such obvious provocation and truly appalling, thuggish behaviour by the police.
I want to kick up as much fuss as possible. We must not allow them to treat us like this. We will not let them intimidate us out of exercising our legal right to protest and express political dissent. Threaten us all you like guys - you can't crush our spirit.
