Good on them. It's certainly ridiculous what the police have gotten away with over the years.

You really think that protest will make the police give one single second thought?

Oh, it will when the police inevitably do something blatantly illegal and that particular seed grows. But at this stage it's about raising awareness to my mind.

To my mind it's a load of sheep who have seen #BlackLivesMatter on Twitter and decided to 'get involved' without any real concept of what the protests in the US are about or how American and British policing and indeed culture vastly differ.

But y'know, I'm cynical.
