Lightfoot encouraged people who experienced police misconduct to file an investigation with the Civilian Office of Police Accountability. People can do that by calling 312-745-3598. A range of defences were used in the case. The court of appeal was asked to consider one that argued that a conviction for damage to the statue would have been a disproportionate interference with the defendants’ right to protest under the European convention of human rights. Priti Patel, making a statement in the House of Commons, said more than 137,500 people attended the mostly "peaceful" protests, but a "lawless minority of protesters" turned to violence. But Taylore Norwood, an organizer with GoodKids MadCity, said the anti-violence group was not involved in violent acts against police and didn’t know of the planned violence ahead of time. But Brown praised officers’ response, saying the vast majority of officers “have been professional and have exhibited great restraint and have upheld their oath … .”

However, Burnett, representing all three judges who heard the case, said that were the criminal damage “minor or temporary”, the proportionality of conviction would have to be considered by the court. They expected such prosecutions would not be brought because they “would be a disproportionate reaction to the conduct in question”.Lightfoot said Chicago has a long history of peaceful protest, and people should follow that tradition and try to build bridges with others. Speaking on LBC, Sir Keir said it was “completely wrong” for the statue to be pulled down in that way.

When protest leaders attempted to storm the Radio Budapest building to broadcast a list of their liberation demands, they were stopped by the Soviet Secret Police. The crowd grew unruly, the police opened fire, and all hell broke loose. Central Budapest was a war zone for the months to come, the streets lined with burning cars and police barricades. Gus Silverman, a civil liberties lawyer at the law firm Irwin Mitchell, who represented Larsen and Dye, suggested the outcome of the case could lead to further actions against police. He said: “Recent demonstrations have seen force used against protesters by police, whether at the vigil for Sarah Everard or at the more recent protests in Bristol. If officers at those demonstrations believed that all protests were banned under coronavirus regulations then it is now clear that they were wrong.” Arriving at the court on the morning of 25 January, Richardson, a gardener, wrote “Support the Colston 4” outside its entrance in water-soluble chalk. When Martin, an artist and writer, arrived shortly after she wrote: “Let justice prevail.” Both were arrested for criminal damage and breach of Covid regulations as they complied with instructions to leave the area.

Lightfoot also criticized police, saying she was “not happy” with some of the things she saw as protesters were injured and reporters faced interference from officers. It was the cathartic removal of a memorial to an oppressor of people and an abuser of power who had too long loomed over the people of Bristol,” she said. “The fact that it is gone is still right for Bristol.” Home Secretary Priti Patel, in the Commons, said: "We strongly support the right to protest peacefully but that does not extend to the violent behaviour we have witnessed." I think our police were incredible actually, and this is intelligent, nuanced policing, not Trumpian militarisation domination,” Mr Rees told BBC Breakfast.

The thugs and criminals responsible are already being brought to justice," she told MPs, after earlier tweeting that "justice will follow". Lightfoot, speaking during a groundbreaking for a Far South Side restaurant, said the video showed “vigilantes, people who came for a fight.” China has a history that spans thousands of years, and there is perhaps no better testament to its long and varied past than its temples. These sacred and peaceful havens are the perfect display of China’s diverse religious influences—Buddhist, Confucianist, Taoist, and sometimes a combination of all three!—as well as its distinct architectural style. Downing Street said people can campaign for statues to be removed, "but what happened yesterday was a criminal act and when the criminal law is broken that is unacceptable and the police will want to hold to account those responsible", While welcoming that caveat, the UK human rights organisation Liberty, which intervened in the court of appeal case, and lawyers who defended the Colston four at trial, expressed disappointment with the overall ruling.

Today, the temple is made up of various halls that are full of ancient statues, including a famous jade statue of Sakyamuni Buddha. White Horse Temple also houses beautifully manicured gardens, which truly come alive every April during Luoyang’s annual Peony Festival. Responding to the ruling, Rhian Graham, one of the four defendants, said pulling down the Colston statue “was not a violent act. The temple’s five grand halls house a number of beautiful statues, including an 18-meter statue of Maitreya Buddha that entered the Guinness Book of Records in 1993 as the world’s tallest statue made out of a single piece of wood. These religious relics, combined with its unique and magnificent architecture, make Lama Temple well worth a visit during your stay in Beijing. Katy Watts, Liberty’s lawyer, said the judgment “takes away vital protections that empower everyone to be able to stand up for what they believe in … By placing weight on the value of an object in deciding if human rights can be taken into account, we feel that the court is shifting the balance too far away from our essential human rights.” Tom Wainwright, from Garden Court chambers, who represented one of the Colston defendants, said the impact of the decision was unclear “because it’s difficult to tell what a court will decide is significant and insignificant damage and what they will interpret as violent in the context of damage to property”.

Video Shows Coordinated ‘Ambush’ On Police At Columbus Statue With ‘Vigilantes’ Throwing Bottles, Fireworks, Sharpened PVC, Officials Say Close Downing Street earlier condemned the toppling of slave trader Edward Colston's statue in Bristol as a "criminal act", after the city's mayor said he felt no "sense of loss" over the monument's disposal. Policing minister Kit Malthouse flatly described the toppling of the statue as "a crime" and warned prosecutions may follow. Protests must be done safely and peacefully but I think it’s really important that leaders right now recognise that they’ve got a responsibility to try and heal divisions, to try and unite communities.Though Saturday’s protest did not see the same level of violence, police injured several protesters when they drove onto a sidewalk and hit them with an unmarked car, activists said. The Sun-Times reports that COPA is investigating the incident. Mr Johnson tweeted that "people have a right to protest" but turning to violence was "a betrayal of the cause they purport to serve." Perhaps no figure from Chinese history is better known than Confucius, and his teachings inspired a religious and philosophical tradition that has gone onto influence the very fabric of everyday life in China. There’s no better place to witness and appreciate the immense significance of Confucius’s legacy than his hometown of Qufu, a small city in the eastern province of Shandong. After Friday, police will now “assume that there may be mobs working with peaceful protesters to inflict violence” at all protests, Brown said. Larsen described the police’s behaviour as ridiculous. “I was in a safe place, I wasn’t endangering anyone’s health, I wasn’t posing a risk to anyone, I wasn’t going to be spreading any infection that day,” he said.
