Twitter should just close Trumps account and his relations.... starve them of the audience they crave.
Most of what he posts is exaggerated or false... it would be no loss to the world to have him gagged online.
Or in real life!

Twatter to cancel Trumps account..You is having a laugh.
Who the fuck does Jack Dorkhead think he is.
Made his millions with a multi media corrupt platform, what a two faced corrupt glory seeking twat.
Trump should close his platform right down to the ground...teach him a lesson in business acumen.
How many idiots supposidly protesting about 'George Floyd' are using their twathead accounts right now to plan mass disruption, looting and arson in many states across the USA.
Good enough reason for Trump to close his business down, i would have thought.:icon_popcorn:

Did you see the incident? Peace activist? Isn’t that an oxymoron? The guy went to put his hands on the Copper, at his age he should know better, when a Police Officer is moving forward & you go to put your hands on him to try to stop him think yourself fortunate if you only get pushed out of the way.

I hear what you say.
But he was one old man isolated on his own surrounded by many riot cops , and was left unconscious and bleeding.

I saw a similar incident, where a guy was trying to help a person on the ground and the cop pushed him over with his shield for no reason whatsoever.

Did you see the attack on the Australian camera man. The cop had to go out of his way to dig him several times with the edge of his shield. The Oz government had formally complained I believe.

Not that i condone the coppers reaction, but....
If you are faced with thousands of very pissed off peeps who want a piece of your arse.
You are part of a very thin blue line, you're training is practically useless if they all kick off.
Self presevation kicks in and you either have the 'fight or flight' response.
Unfortunately this silly old ladyparts wanted his 5 mins of fame and it did'nt turn out that way.

Just watched the incident & agree the guy wasn't complying with the officers to move away but did you see the reaction of the second officer going to give him a dig after he's down & having to be pulled away, utter w**ker ! it was obvious the guy was hurt at that point & he was definitely no threat to anyone but the officers walk on by, I would like to think at least one UK officer would try to give immediate assistance unlike the yanks who generally don't give a toss

As we have seen recently it is likely that any copper giving assistance would leave himself prone to attack.

Having been in riot situations (that is different from passive crowd control) anything other that aggression and focus will get you or your team hurt. Very often the weak or vulnerable display is use as a tactic to get at the unwary. Had a personal experience with women at Molesworth - poor little innocent woman beckons young soldier over and then sprays ammonia in his face.
If they are at a protest/riot treat all as hostile!

It is reported that Gugino has a brain injury, I can see that being true as he certainly did go down with a bump & appeared unresponsive straight away

Yes he was wrong in approaching officers in the way he did but I cant help thinking a couple of dozen coppers could have arrested a 75 year old quite easily considering he was plainly on his own & that would have been a better outcome for everyone even if it was exactly what he wanted considering his previous history

American cops come across simply as heavily armed uniformed thugs with no fear of reprisals when they go out of their way to exercise their power.

Absolutely correct & my biggest worry is that uk police slowly are following the pattern set by the yanks :(
