Unfortunately so true

Hat tip: Never Trust a Hippy.

Unfortunately this has been happening for years, anyone who travelled to watch their football team over the last thirty years would have come across policing of this nature, everyone treated like animals, lowest common denominator.

And the best example I can recall. Standing on the picket lines during the miners strike, the banter between the local plod and the pickets was always fairly good natured, Notts coppers in the main have generally always been a fair lot. However, you knew it was going to kick off when bus loads of the Met's finest used to turn up, wave wadges of £10 notes at the cash-strapped pickets as they made their way to the police portacabins, inside which they'd store their valuables; their keys, their wallets and more importantly, those nice shiny numbers that sat on their shoulders.

This has been happening for years, it's only now they're beginning to get caught. Will this stop them ? I doubt it, more likely is if you've got a video camera in your phone, expect it to be you on the receiving end of it next time.
