KayBurley Not unusual KayBurley. Your gaffers backed you when you did wrong eh

And rightly so

Mourners? Nope

KayBurley The Police have been put in an impossible position, damned if they do & damned if they don't.

The thin blue line sticking up for each other

Do not want to appear heartless,but would Sarah have wanted thousands of people gathering in one place and increase the chance of spreading Covide at a time like this when we are so close to getting sorted such a sad loss but vitals got taken over by the media and Woke community

London Police officers disperse 'mourners' or 'protestors'? Mourners people at a funeral, a wake, non-violent, and not anti-social, nor acting as a pack. Protestors people on the street, with signs, chants, trying to send a message, even if their actions are illegal.

KayBurley Point was that the event was cancelled so why did anyone turn up fact is when they leave are they carrying the infection

I love her, Strong, independent WOMAN with she/her pronouns at a higher post sticking with her fellow officers. Woke-ass media can't even cry misogyny, racism, or all that-'ISMS'. Very cool!!

KayBurley Absolutely!

If that is the case, then she has to go..

Of course she would. Next she will be making excuses why allegedly the killer cop got away with flopping his willy out...... Twice...... In one day.... Like I said allegedly

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about JacksonWilliam0 wealth how he helped investors to earn lot of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

And STILL no accountability. This is not a working society. Time is running out to fix the greed problems so we can work together to repair the only biosphere we have that we’ve worked SO hard to systematically destroy. The Amazon is no longer a carbon sink, people!

What are you convinced of? (A lot of money)

seems to be a complete dick leading the met police for this vigil to be so badly handled. shame on them

'...action to disburse mourners.' Poor policing. They should have approached it as a community policing event. Commissioner Dick should have apologised.

Kneel to one group. Viciously arrest members of another group. Policitised policing?

😒👎

The military junta is cutting off all internet and mobile communications in Myanmar, except FTTH which most of the general public doesn't have access to. Military junta seem to block the evidence of their crimes against the people. Please save Myanmar😭
