Now nomadking, could you please explain why you would have found it preferable for the police to turn a reasonably peaceful, if unpleasant, protest into a potential riot rather than gather evidence, track down those who have comitted crimes, and arrest them at a later date?

Because they were inciting others at that time, not a month later. If there would have been a riot if the police intervened, then the protest should have been stopped beforehand. A peaceful protest can't turn into a riot. It was not just one or two unsupported people who were waving placards, shouting, using megaphones, wearing suicide bomber vests etc.

So the media complained?
Anyone else confused?  |
How should I know who complained? You don't yourself say who it was. The Media probably had several people complaining to camera etc. So whose complaint did the CPS act upon?
CPS website

The chants and placards were considered by a large section of the public to be extremely threatening.
