Considering these are British cops, they both deserved it and worse. Sorry your cushy job of oppressing polite losers who'd never fight back suddenly has to actually earn its keep.
Sorry your cushy job of oppressing polite losers who'd never fight back
I'm going to push back on this a little.
We've seen time and time again the full force of the government used on right wing agitators (J6, Trucker Convoy, Proud Boys) and we also know the prevailing white in-group bias among white leftists is negative, unlike any other racial/political demographic on the planet.
The muslims here have power in numbers and power in politics. The "polite losers" have neither. Their protests are infiltrated, their own people work to identify and cancel them, and the state crushes them with impunity to make an example of them. I think disregarding them as polite losers when the odds are so heavily stacked against them is unfair.
That doesn't mean I don't wish they do more or stand up for themselves. Pretty sure that's the only way out.

I got nothing to disagree with, so I'll concede that to you.
