Equal rights innit.
Disabled or not, he was taking part in a protest.
Whether or not he was threatening or not to the line, action was needed and prompt action at that.
I’m sure he was asked if his aid was nearby to remove him from possible danger and as many protesters i’m sure he would of shouted at the police in perhaps an offensive and threatening manner.
Simple thing would be to remove him from all danger.
Trying to carry a disabled person isn’t the easiest thing to do, and under pressure from the advancing protesters would quite easily made it more awkward to do it without it looking less than caring.
It would also be necessary to wonder whether, the police acted in case there was chance of a terrorist threat.
A mass of students would of been a great cover and a man in a wheelchair could easily blend in as an non bomber.
Pop a bomb under the chair in the middle of a big protest and boom. Plods and young people killed.
The police would i assumed to be briefed on taking action against anything out of the ordinary and to not rule out terrorist action during the student protests.
It wasn’t so far ago, an explosion was heard and explosives were found in Scotland. Therefore there’s sufficient reason for the law to suspect the unlikely character like Jody.
Necessary force and a neglectful brother and group of so called friends.
