Police carry off 'Just Stop Oil' protesters glued to ground of the Mall

The police response seems to be lagging far behind public opinion, which would appear to be far less tolerant......time to catch up chaps!

[@mitchmomlc]

The police are paid for and serve the public. If you want thug police try russia or even america. Your public opinion comes from, please let me know. Did you do the survey yourself, or read it on the back of the sun. The reason we have elected officials is because as a democracy, we believe they will do the right thing. its called democracy. Thats why joe public, who has more u turns than the latest shamble from downing steet, is not put in charge. bye bye gera, dont forget to switch it on.

*In fairness, they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Personally I think we (Joe Public) could be doing more, such as getting traffic to pass through blocks by keeping the vehicles so close together that they can pass through unhindered. That and simply dragging protesters out the way. We have sheer numbers on our side after all.*
