earth&hounds 94 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Message to EDL Supporters from West Midlands Police Wednesday, 31 March 2010 14:42 West Midlands Police MOST of you will be well aware of the protest planned for Dudley on Saturday. You will also know only too well the events in Bolton , which were marred by arrests, injuries and recriminations. Protesters from both sides and some who sought to attach themselves were arrested and the media were quick to report extensively on the levels of violence. Our message to supporters of the EDL’s values and principles is simple. Our priority on Saturday will be the safety of the public and protesters and the policing operation will be robust and decisive to fully reflect that. Any incidents of disorder or racially motivated crime from any quarter will lead to arrest, with the offenders risking prosecution. We are committed to upholding your democratic right to air your beliefs, but only if you do so peacefully. On the day you will come into contact with West Midlands Police officers who will guide you. We would ask that you accede to any requests to ensure all EDL supporters wishing to attend can reach the agreed venue safely. There will also be officers filming the event to ensure any protesters, whether affiliated to one of the groups or not, are not allowed to sabotage your protest through criminal action. Officers looking for any signs of weapons and banners which can be turned into weapons, will also be checking for evidence of drug taking and excess drunkenness. Whilst West Midlands Police have a duty to enable the event to go ahead, we also have a duty to those people who live and work in the town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
