and this illustrates what I'm saying to a tee mate;
You had the sense to get the fuck away when you felt threatened - that's what the riot police are trained to do, be threatening, let people know they are going to take no shit, and thus make the crowd calm down & disperse (for fear of being severely handled).
Unfortunatly, with a combination of drink, and a sense of victimisation, people have started to try and "talk" to police in full riot regalia - straight up one of the stupidest things you can do.
Anyone with half a brain knows they are trained to do one thing - get in aboot it.
I sympathise though, as all it would of took was 4 or 5 crazy horses,up for a ruck & chucking shit/abusing the police to convince the rest of the crowd to join in.
You find alot of "plastic hardmen" when you are in a crowd - as illustrated when you see boys aiming blows to the back of the policeman then bolting as soon as he has swun his punch...only to come back again when the officer is on the deck.
