  in reality the police did all they could to sort out the mob rule put yourselves in there position, the majority of students were well behaved and the majority of the police were calm and keeping the march going n peacefully.
  
  the rent a mob(probably never seen a uni in there life) broke away in a deliberate attemp to cause problems so what would you do as a police force? take police away from where the thusands of students were, thus making smaller police numbers and problems that could cause.
  
  We need to sit back now and find out all the facts on what happened with any of those injured whether they be police injured or members of the public, and in each case if police or public have been proved to have caused injury without reason the book should be thrown at them.
  
  We need to look at this in a reasonable manner, without doubt there will be police(a very small number)who go in to heavy and dont have the skills required to overcome issues, but the vast majority of police are happy to see the march pass off peacefully and they then have a good day
  
  
  also in the student ranks much the same applies but with this like any major demonstration you get the rent a mob, nowt to do with the march, but out to cause
  violence, would like posters suggest you step in to a violent situation to try to stop it thus putting yourselves and others in danger? i suggest not you do as peter says get the hell away from it.
  
  
  
  
  
  And finally peter, i cannot agree with your short comment on the miners and whilst the tactics of scargill may not have been useful, he was correct in his starting point of what the tory govt was about to do(denied by maggie and many others at the time)on pit closures.
  theres a whole lot more that went on during that dispute which i could mention but its not related to this thread so i will stop there
