But restraining one cylcist with more than 10 police officers is exagerated behaviour by anyone's standards no? And this article was sent in. I didnt write it. (Just for the record. ie. I dont think I am an 'eco-fundamentalist'). And no-one owns the world. Or we <em>all </em> do. Fair comment I suppose.

When you decide to block the road, you create a dangerous situation. Whatever happens after that is your own responsability. If you resist the police who are trying to clear the unlawful block, you get arrested. It's as simple as that. You describe by yourself how "another cyclist pushed a police woman". How on earth can you be surprised when the police returns the violence? You eco-fundamentalists should stop thinking you own the world.
