More than 20 uniformed police, some equipped with Tasers,
forced their way into the Westminster meeting house [of worship]
and arrested six people at the meeting
on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.
[police] arrested five other people for the same offence on Friday
Based on the given charge, Police had a feeling that some Quakers might be talking about being a public nuisance.
If we assume the best of the Met police, they first considered sending an officer over to talk to the Quakers and maybe offer some counsel.
And being the Met police and being faced with the potential of a non-violent resolution to a non-violent issue, the police instead opted for an approach that mirrors violent police raids.
That's if we assume the best of the Met police. They might not have ever considered a non-violent solution for Quakers.
