Long suffering cops marching close on the side of 'Freedom of Movement' block.

Had to laugh when I heard that coppers are holding secret meetings for fear of being spied on by ..other coppers. Seems they too enjoy the anonymity offered by pay-as-you-go phones and checking their rooms for bugs. Here's a link to a bbc report:

numbers: STWC says 5,000
police say 2,500

at the beginning of the march as the freedom of movement bloc was assembling the cops had a 'photo album' with ca. 12 pictures on each page. This is what they used to identify people on the bloc.
