I suppose if the police felt he was in danger, it was in his own interests to move him away. It sounds as though he was protesting peacefully which is supposed to be allowed in this country, unless it seems, you're protesting about Islamic terrorists.

If there are a few hundred protesters they get more emboldened,  some of them may want to be challenged as justification fr reacting -  needs to be defused because they won't be reasoned with when they're 'on a mission'.

It's not taking the easy  option at all, like you said, it was deliberate, to provoke, there's a certain law that can be used in lots of different scenarios.

Breaching the peace, public order.

 

The only time I've ever been to court was public order, as well as obscene publications act, for having a swear word painted on my jacket (very small writing)

.....furious at police over arrest threat

 

More than 200,000 people are estimated to have attended yesterday's rally in central London, with police making a total of 12 arrests.

A gutsy counter-protester assaulted at yesterday’s Pro-Palestine rally in London for staging his own anti-Hamas demonstration has questioned why he was then threatened with arrest and led away from the area.

Iranian national Niyak Ghorbani held up a placard asking whether or not Hamas was a terrorist organisation as protesters in central London walked past. At one point one of them appeared to thrown a punch, and others hurled abuse.

However, he today shared a clip showing him being escorted away by two uniformed officers, one of whom takes his arm at one point.

 

Defending the action, a Met spokesperson claimed Mr Ghorbani was there to “provoke a reaction from the passing crowd” and therefore the officers were trying to “de-escalate the situation to keep everyone safe”.

 

Posting on X, formerly Twitter, Mr Ghorbani said: “While following the police's advice to collect placards and move away from the area, this individual violently grabbed my hand and threatened that if I returned there, they would arrest me!

“Is arrest a justifiable threat for speaking the truth?!”

Brave man but did the police do the right thing?

Personally I reckon the police would have had a hard time rounding up all those Hamas supporting thugs so took the easier option and removed the anti hamas protester instead.

Your thoughts?

It’s cleared up at the end of the express’ latest rant

 

A Met Police spokesperson told Express.co.uk: “We’ve reviewed all the bodyworn video of this 11-minute incident. While the wording on the man’s sign was an accurate reflection of the law in relation to Hamas, it was also apparent he was there to provoke a reaction from the passing crowd.
 
“The priority for officers was to de-escalate the situation to keep everyone safe and the most proportionate way to do that was to ask the man to move away from the protest. Ten minutes passed with officers repeatedly asking him to move further away and eventually minimal force was used to get him to do so.

Those piece lovers soon react when questioned , seen it happen in Sheffield ,  when the pro Palestine marches first started .

Anyone defending Israel’s actions In The current climate is likely to get a hard time so just accept it. Israel is in the icj on a couple of cases and the decent people in this world now realise what a bullying. Scumbag Israel is. I watched a news article  yesterday where they were on about Palestinians women being arrested and sexually abused by the idf nazis.

Israel has lost any moral standing it had and it’s true colours are plain for all to see.

You don’t start a thread about Israel being in the Icj for its brutal occupation of Palestinians but hey ho you are quick to start one about some idiot who was there to cause confrontation. I wouldn’t expect any dose from you.

Hamas achieved what they set out to do. That was to bring the Palestinian issue to the forefront and israrl  has lost  as by facade of being a civilised democracy and has shown the world what it really is.

Any comment in regards to the increase in settler violence or the Palestinians women being abused on IdF custody?

ghought not do I’ll let you carry on with your pointless thread..,

Israel is becoming a very nasty state fuelled by hatred its time to nip it in the bud now for everyone's sake ....
