ABC Wednesday: "M" is for a Manchester (police) state of Mind #TakeBackMCR


There were police snipers on the rooftops during a peaceful demo by 100,000 on Sunday. The non-stop smaller protests against the Tory Party Conference this week have seen an over policed and over protective ring of steel - it feels like Manchester has slipped nearer to a being a police state. 

 Above we have a few photos near the conference entrance including a bunch of young Tories at Brew Dog and the police brutally manhandling an innocent protestor and falsely accusing him (I witnessed all of this) during the DPAC Protest (Disabled People Against the Cuts). 

 Less harrowing scenes from bloggers around the world can be seen at ABC Wednesday.

    It sounds like the force is infected with their own jackbooted methodology from the top down. A reasonable chief would be thinking along the lines of defusing the tension, not making it worse.

    So comforting that police excess isn't limited to the US.

    I am glad that the snipers didn't have to take anyone out. That is a blessing.
