I think GP's point was more that it's just shitty tactics. Compare the MPS de-escalating the protest in London today; https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/12693

I think GP's point was more that it's just shitty tactics. Compare the MPS de-escalating the protest in London today; https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1269315641217073152 https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1269315641217073152 Officers move in a clear way, they do not pre-emptively arm themselves, they do not get hung up on non-violent stragglers, they take their time. There have been two days of protests in London which are explicitly anti-police, have been very passionate, have had flashes of violence, but have NOT escalated. Aside from the racial aspect, a lot of videos I've seen from US recently have just been crap in a professional sense.
