Manchester Reclaim The Streets trial result from SchNEWS in brief
All the people charged after last yearís Manchester Reclaim
The Streets have walked free ñ after video footage showed
cops punching people in the face and hitting out with batons,
(including a 40 year old woman who happened to be walking
past). There had been no violence until the police decided to
move in on people dancing around a van, and they removed
the generator with a pair of boltcroppers, saying it was an
obstruction. (Rather bizarrely however they failed to move the
van that was actually causing the obstruction rather than the
generator)
