I disagree.silverclaws":26z0vriw said:You must understand that everyone is a potential terrorist and has to be dealt with accordingly which usually means over reaction. As to the guy's safety he was safe on his bike he became unsafe when he was grabbed from his bike and wrestled to the ground where he was then in very real danger of being mowed down by the entourage and their vehicles and it is likely that he did not know the security bubble were there to smash anyone out of the way that were not meant to be there. And I agree it is sending out the wrong message thugs exist everywhere especially where you least expect it, the very people charged with public protection.greenstiles":26z0vriw said:Was there a less violent way of dealing with this young boy. I think there was. I think it's starting to send out the wrong message now. I feel quite strongly about this.

I will maintain that I am sure the chap though that what he did was the best course of action at the time and didnt intend to harm anyone. However, herein lies the beauty of subjectivity :roll:
It could be that in a situation like that, pushing somebody back is akin to throwing a ball at a wall only to have it bounce back at you, so pulling away to be removed in a more controlled fashion, may well have been more effective.Whatleymeister":36b1issu said:I dont think there was anything principally wrong, they are trained (I pressume!) to move people out of the way swiftly and effectively.

I doubt it does, I think it's more about the procession, the "ceremony" and looking good for the cameras.Signal11th":31ekzjnk said:Although I will edit this by saying I really don't see why the"Olympic Torch" needs protecting so closely.Whatleymeister":31ekzjnk said:I dont think there was anything principally wrong, they are trained (I pressume!) to move people out of the way swiftly and effectively.
