Police in this country are an embarrassment

[HuskerGram]

I wonder if those cops realize they're the laughingstock of the world.

[sdavis]

THAT'S a problem when you have people in the road illegally and you have police running defense for them. DISGRACEFUL

[ElwoodBluesAK]

If you ever feel useless in life just remember the UK police.

[whatsitallabout]

People blocking roads should be arrested and fined. This is not reasonable protesting.

[amalshadin]

Blocking traffic is a crime. Wtf is the police doing here.

[ceebee]

They should arrest those worthless cops.

[deanc]

Any police refusing to get these idiots out the street should be fired.

[LowProOperator]

The police going after the frustrated motorist but not after the people illegally blocking the roadway. That’s our world now. That’s the society we live in.

[Pinchton]

About time the police took some lessons from the French and German police on how to handle these protesters

[tomsamps]

Those cops should be fired immediately.

[sukijay]

The police should be arresting those idiots, not enabling them. It’s infuriating.

[lena_]

Why are the cops protecting the people causing trouble instead of the victim??

[ilustrado-vlog]

this country need to fire these policeman and hire new ones

[Hopelevelheaded]

No wonder he's annoyed, the protesters don't even try to resist him, as they know the police are there to support them...

[randyholcombe]

Instead of harassing him they should be clearing the road. That’s their job

[DlwinnerS]

I often forget UK police are actually police.

[blueberryblues]

Why do the cops defend criminals? Makes no sense

[denisevandersloot]

Cops need to be removed along with the other idiots

[OtisAvalon]

I can’t imagine how frustrating it would be to have those idiots as your police.
