Man Dies, Police Eat Donuts

Having a chat while coercively detaining peaceful protestors.
Kr*spy Kr*m*, from the looks of the box they came out of.
After the death of one protestor in contested circumstances (i.e. the police claim it was 'natural causes', the protestors think the police had a hand in it - see other articles for more), the police continued their heavy-handed policing, taking a break only to engage in the oldest of authoritarian rituals - the donut feast. A box was passed along the front line of riot police, from left to right, each entitled to their selection of one sugary delight. If their blase attitude to their own heave-handedness and brutality doesn't outrage you, I don't know what will.
This comes just a few months after Alexandros Grigoropoulos was shot dead by police in Greece.
¡Ya Basta!
Enough is enough.

It makes a refreshing change I suppose from continually reading about organic lentil and bean stew on these pages.

People need to eat. I suppose its ok for protestors to eat, but the police can't?
Or do protestors abstain from eating? And while we'll at it, whats wrong with eating?

That really a silly argument isn't it?
When was the photo of the policemen eating these evil donuts taken?
Did they know someone had died at the time they were eating evil donuts?
Where were eating their evil donuts in relation to where this person died?
In fact why I am I even talking to a muppet such as yourself?
Rogue, I bet you ate something today, didn't you? You gorged yourself on food today while millions across the globe died today.

Were the Greek police eating donuts at the time also? I think we should be told! It really is important you know! No, in second thoughts it was probably a greek kebab.

For anyone who genuinely is interested, this krispy kreme run was done while they were kettling peaceful protesters, without access to external food, for hours on end.

Protestors eat chocolate brownies!

The "eating donuts over the body" claim is the kind of incendiary claim that gains ground even when it's palpably untrue.
There's not time on the photos, but the low light in which they were taken, plus the fact you can clearly see that car lights and street lights are on in the background suggests they were taken late in the day. The photos of the person who died (who witnesses have said had no obvious external injuries) appear to be when there was daylight.
You might as well criticise the Climate campers for being caught with a big box of chocolate brownies (see the picture on this page):

Proof? So where's the dying man in the photos then Sid Vicious or would you prefer to be called Rambo? Your quote makes no sense at all. I supsect your still high on the fumes from the gas your snorting.
