Title: London anti-coronavirus gatherings.
Post by: gm66 on May 07, 2020, 08:30:13 AM
A group of peolpe gathered outside Metropolitan police HQ in London to hug each opther in defiance of CV protocols.

The police asked them to move along, one man didn't, so more than half a dozen officers wrestled him to the grond and arrested him, none of whom were wearing gloves or masks!

Which is amusing.

Unless PPE not available to the officers in question, then it would be very sad.

Yes, odd that they weren't wearing anything. My pal is a postman and they all have to provide their own PPE. i'm not sure about UK law enforcement.

Sometimes I forget that the United States is not the only country with loud and inane people.

Why not just taser the bloke. Or just generally give him a hiding?

Yes taser would have been perfect, they normally don't hesitate with those.
