[Police chiefs have been accused
of capitulating to a Black Lives Matter
mob by pulling armed officers away
from the gates of Downing Street at
the height of violent protests.

Senior officers put the security of
No 10 in jeopardy by their ‘reckless’ order,
say critics who accuse Scotland Yard
of appeasing the hostile rabble.

The extraordinary decision, exposed by
The Mail on Sunday today,
came as an anti-racist rally in Whitehall turned
ugly in 2020.
Met police chiefs were so worried about the violent
crowd attempting to breach the barrier to
Downing Street that they commanded elite
armed officers to withdraw,
fearing activists might grab their guns and
use them, court papers reveal.]

This does not surprise me. Police in shirt sleeves have been filmed clashing with pro-Palestine protesters. Get a bunch of Englishman turn out to protest they're met by police in riot gear and get beaten to the ground.
