police brutality

well we went protesting today, loudly, but peacefull, the media has twisted it all saying we were carrying offensive weapons, and went into the bank to rob it. however,we were sat outside and the coppers just started dragging us around so when we decided to help our fallen comrades :) they hit us with the batons. one girl had to got to a&e for concussion, most of us got hit.

what i wanna know is what are your thoughts about this.

most people say it was just their job. BUT we didnt assault them in anyway (except for the usual ACAB chants :)

At Download a couple of years ago I was camped up with a few mates, and one of their mates that was with us was a cop. Actually was an awesome guy. He changed my opinion on the police. Spent one night round the camp fire getting steaming drunk and talking about all this. He reckons throughout the force it's about half and half good and bad. Some of them just let power get to their head and think they're better than everyone else around. He did go on to say that the bad ones generally get what's coming to them at some point.
