One person was arrested after the mass today… the cops surrounded us in elephant, started being aggressive and arrested one person…
We were just arriving in elephant and castle and the coppers sent at least 4 police cars to welcome us at the elephant roundabout.
After one round of the roundabout we all stopped in the green area and we had a 1 min commemoration about one cyclist killed in the roundabout.
soon after the police come and surround us … there are about 15/20 cops… one person probably pissing on the grass has been told off by the police…
the person reply with bad words… he does not speak english well… being from netherland…
end of the story police start getting violent, other people try to help… coppers take him away…
THERE WERE NO REASON TO COME AND HARASS PEOPLE DOWN AT THE END OF THE MASS WHEN WE WERE JUST HAVING GOOD TIME AND BEING PEACEFUL>>> ONCE AGAINST THE POLICE MANAGED TO INSTIGATE VIOLENCE AND REPRESS PEOPLE FREEDOM TO CYCLE…
Coppers F.O.
a masser….
