Coming soon to USA?: "Armed police threatened to arrest Kent protester for holding Palestinian flag"

1. It's the quote from "a Kent police spokesperson" at the end that worries me the most

The official response to this is "yeah, we'll do this again". Not a spur of the moment crappy choice by a subpar PC, but the considered opinion of the police force.

Fascists.

I wish the Guardian has asked for the spokesperson's name, and then said "who refused to give their name". The people claiming that "displaying items that arouse a reasonable suspicion" of supporting a non-violent group that has the same aims as the majority of the country is a "criminal offence" should be named and shamed. And sacked, of course, but that's too much to hope for.
