Police officer suffers serious facial injury during pro-Palestine protest outside Parliament

[TheKeenAmberHedgehog]

Three officers were hurt and 40 people arrested at the demonstration in Westminster

Three police officers were injured and 40 people have been arrested during a protest in Westminster on Tuesday night.
One officer was left with a serious facial injury after she was hit by a bottle thrown from the crowd, while two officers suffered minor injuries.
Metropolitan Police said the suspect who threw the bottle has not been identified but investigations are ongoing.
A protest organised by a coalition of groups, including the Palestine Solidarity Group, began at around 6pm and was required to end at 8pm, police said.
A group of around 500 people remained and police began making a number of arrests for failing to comply.
Police said that when some of the crowd resisted arrest, officers were required to use force to remove them.
They added that a breakaway protest then took place, with the crowd marching to Bridge Street outside Westminster Station, where police cordons were erected to detain the group.

Disgraceful.

Did it free Palestine?

So it wasn't the protest, but a small group that remained and continued after the protest that finished?
The protest itself was peaceful?

Desperate stuff.
decent people will be more concerned about the officer than exonerating this rabble.

What a stupid comment - 🙄

perhaps you failed to grasp the point of it. It certainly wasn’t lost on me.

@Marjoriefrobisher Decent people would also be concerned about an ongoing genocide 😊

Since you grasped it..could you please enlighten the rest of us?

Not quite sure why that’s directed at me - you have no information at all about my opinion on the Middle East.
one opinion I will share - the persistent description of what is happening as genocide is a deliberate attempt to goad the Jewish people with their own history of suffering. And I know what I think of people who do that.

Disingenuousness seems to be a widespread affliction in relation to this issue. It’s really tedious.

Is that what you grasped from that comment?

Bingo

If in doubt or can't be bothered to form an actual argument just say the word genocide.

@Marjoriefrobisher Yup. Because Jews were victims of a genocide, we can't call it the same terms when a group of them commits it. What would you call that?

@Comedycook Yes I'll call it what it is. Even if it hurts your feelings.

If you think the holocaust is in any way similar to the situation in Gaza then I'd suggest you must know nothing about the holocaust.

You're so easily offended aren't you? I can see why.

Did the Nazis commit genocide against the British during WW2? Or did the Allies commit genocide against the Germans? Some pretty horrific bombings on both sides, and lots of rape on the part of the Soviets. But I have yet to see any of that described as a genocide.

"A group of them"?? Just who are you referring to here?

if you don’t think that deliberately taunting the Jewish community with what happened to them is offensive, then You and I have nothing to say to each other. Bye now.

I don’t know. I know what I’d call you though.

Disgusting behaviour from you, there.

Yes, "a group of them" = the current Israeli government and its military who are currently conducting a genocide. Here I said it again!

Could have just said that then couldn't you?

I'm embarrassed for you
