It looks like the police response really was not appropriate, if they needed to they could have monitored the event, collected evidence and then dealt with any activity like breaking covid restrictions as needed.

It's also leading to more powers to the "officials" to declare a gathering illegal and prosecute those involved. Want to protest? Better do it quietly then. I went on a number of the "March for Jesus" events in the 80's and 90's. All properly organised and all very noisy and being a march stretching for some distance with the larger ones. Wonder if "noise issues" would prevent them happening now? Likely wouldn't get the go ahead because it's anti-something that we are not allowed to be anti.
