What's going on with the recent demonstration/vigil/protest for the murdered woman Sarah Everard in the UK?
Being an illegal gathering, what did the illegal mob expect when they attended the meeting? When the Police who were in attendance tried to uphold the law, they were met with protest and voices of disapproval from the highest political positions. Is this the current state we're in? Once there's enough twats on twitter shouting about something - all must bow before them? In any media coverage I've seen since, there's not one mention of the illegality of the assembly.

Very sensitive issue and some women felt the need to peacefully protest and were met with heavy handedness. The met should have left them alone, poor policing on their part. I wonder if this will be the new WHAT ABOUT THE BLM MARCHES for people to harp on about.

From what little I have read of it it looks like she was murdered by a serving policeman, and the police force in question has not handled it well so far. Textbook recipe for rioting.
