UK: Police vs Public: London Commuters Who Stopped Tube Protesters Investigated
2019-10-21
h/t Gates of Vienna
[Breibart] - Viral footage of commuters at the Canning Town subway stop in London putting an end to a dangerous protest by Extinction Rebellion activists by dragging them off the trains they had climbed on top of receiving an overwhelmingly positive response from the general public and even some Members of Parliament, including former government minister Tobias Ellwood.

The British Transport Police (BTP) seems to have taken a different, view, decrying the commuters for
taking matters "into their own hands" and "displaying violent behaviour" in an "unacceptable" way.

They have also announced that they will be launching an investigation ‐ presumably with a view to
punishing the commuters who intervened.

#3  War = peace
Freedom = slavery
People climbing in trains to f--- up everyone = innocent victims of criminal behavior

#2  Maybe I'm being old-fashioned, but isn't it the job of the transit police to keep idiots from climbing on trains in the first place? You had one job...
