I could be wrong, but does that officer have his hands in his pockets?

From Kellie Jay’s statement.

“We refute the claims made by some media and the Avon and Somerset police that there was bad behaviour on “both sides”. Aggressive and threatening men, on the MRA/TRA side, were very close to our wardens and attendees. They shouted obscenities in the faces of women and they tried to push through the police line, there were physical confrontations by men in masks.

Our communications lead, Iris, had worked very hard to inform the police about the sort of male aggression and violence women may encounter. She was, frankly, ignored. This was particularly striking following our event in Manchester. The policing in Bristol was inadequate and dangerous. The male aggression and intimidation women experienced in Bristol was revolting. Women were told to die, get in the sea by threatening men in masks.

Women were asked by the police to go home, rather than enjoy refreshments in a bar we had hired. Apparently the police can choose to protect women on the basis of whether or not we are eating or drinking, as a senior officer told me that the police were not here to protect us in the pub. The Slug and Lettuce, St.Nicholas Street, Bristol decided to close rather than continue serving joyful and peace loving women due to the male aggressors surrounding the venue. The police did not disperse the agitators and maintained that they could not guarantee our safety.”

So how did it come about that police failed to adequately protect women in Bristol?

It’s a complete mystery. Or maybe it isn’t.

When I was a student in Leeds in the 80s, the police told women to stay indoors because they couldn’t catch Peter Sutcliffe (the so-called Yorkshire Ripper) They failed because of their attitude towards women, ignoring witnesses and dividing us into ‘good girls’ and ‘bad girls’. I’ve never expected the police or judicial system to protect women but, as with all the other misogynists, trans ideology has made them more open about the fact that they somehow don’t consider women fully human and really don’t think we should be participating in public life as men do.

What a shower of credulous morons the police are. The kicker is that the gender high priests always claim that levels of violence against trans people are much higher than the statistics but "it's never reported because the police are transphobic."

So the same idiot cops who fall over themselves to please the screeching misogynists, also let themselves take the blame for the statistics never matching the level of victimhood they're looking for. You can never please these people; they need to be "tragic victims" of everyone and everything. So why not just do what you're paid to do and protect peaceful assembly?
