Yes, they did. But I think Sarah Ditum is right - SU were there as agent provocateurs, deliberately stirring up trouble to provoke a reaction. Many people there say the vigil was peaceful and peacefully policed until rentamob turned up to cause trouble. But I agree - the police behaved appallingly and gave SU exactly what they wanted; ammunition.
I agree they are a menace. But I still think the police handled them appallingly.
