In a time when the need for every member of our society to stand up and speak out for whatever they feel is important the ability to do so based freedom of opinion and protesting without harassment is incredibly important.
Which makes this report on the 2008 policing exercise of a climate camp protest against the Kingsnorth power station very scary. The parliament report of 70 police injuries eventually revealed to be 12, of which 8 were caused by stings and heat exhaustion, now topped by the unlawful searching of children and an adult (and the fact that hundreds of people were searched) causes considerable concern about how police forces can read in to a legitimate protest ‘dangers’ to society at large that must be resisted with overwhelming force.
