    I don’t think they were prioritizing one group over the other I think they just did two things at the same time there’s more than like five cops you know.

    I would love it if the world would be a better place but I don’t think the way just stop oil protesters are going about it is helping anyone including themselves. Totally understand why they’re arrested.

      And you don’t think it’s weird that they don’t prioritize ongoing race riots, arson and assaults over planned pacifist protestors?

      Each single cop can’t be in two places at once. Every cop occupied with arresting a pacifist is a cop not occupied with preventing arsonists from burning down a building.

      As for disruptive protest not helping, have you looked at politics the past two decades? The general public loves disruptive protest.
