April 1st.

We The Congregated






'...SLAVE'






Riot Police






Behind The Line

Order Relay






Clearing The Streets






High Viewpoints






No One Leaves

The policeman on the far left in this shot with the armguard is the very same policeman who assaulted a female protester. Note that he has removed his ID numbers from his shoulder strip, so that he cannot be identified. Watch what he did to her in the video link below.

Great shots. Very well done technically and they say something as to the current police state, where even to demonstrate miles away from anything happening is a threat to authority.

Yeah, you know that those police under investigation by the IPCC will jus' turn around and say - "I was only followin' orders" - and they'll get off, or suffer a real lenient punishment.
Jus' look at what happened over the shootin' of Charles de Menezes.
Its always the same. The IPCC will do nothin' as usual.

The police belong and are accountable to the public not the powers that be, to put it bluntly.

Cheers guys.

Though a touch blurry- perhaps desirable to impart some motion- I really like the cyclist's image. There is tension for sure and you captured it nicely. But they are all good images.

Good journalistic shots here anyone would be proud of!

Political stance does not belong in journalistic photography.
