After twenty years, things have come full circle since the miners' strikes, with the police presence once again demonstrating that where the vested interests are concerned, no expense is spared, and a confrontational attitude is adopted along with their intimidation. Perhaps the police officers involved don't fully understand the protesters' reasons, but those that do have to have difficulty sleeping at night, being part of an operation like this which initially was intended to prevent any demonstrations or protests at all.
People are protesting for their right to protest, and - as we've seen from the other great images on this site - for the plight of those who have no voice, in prisons here across the country, and those in Guantanamo Bay.

arrest
this is from when the police were arresting that 17 year old on wed (15th) eve, and were pushed in GT news stand
the policeman directly above the guy in the colourful hat and pretty much in the centre of the picture is one who was beating the kid before they got him to the GT news stand
