I did notice. I noticed a lot of things. I saw the crowd overwhelm the cops by force.
I did NOT see a mass of cops swinging batons and cracking down. Instead, they yielded the line and took to the sides. Some used the spray in what looked like individual assaults but the majority just walked to the side and let the crowd go.
I did NOT see the crowd attack and attempt to beat down of kill the cops, like I have here in the States. The crowd had their purpose and it was not to kill cops. I feel that the cops knew that, and probably some secretly agreed.
No secret about it, coppers are sick of the crap too.
