They need some broken bones to make sure it sinks in so they think twice next time.

They'll more than likely get their scooter resprayed in rainbow stripes and be given front row tickets for the cops next performance of the macarena.

Likely as not, a lifetime on benefits beckons, interspersed with occasional interactions with the criminal justice system, further draining the public purse

Were these little f***s to stop when instructed to by the police, there would be no need to knock off now would there...
I have zero empathy or sympathy in instance, these are the type of meatsacks that attack people with hammers or worse acid. A broken leg or arm, is something you recover from, a hammer to the head or acid in the face is not.
Ah, the presumption of guilt as a justification for "assertive policing". Another great idea (that worked so well for George Floyd...)
If you were innocent, would you fail to stop?
Have you ever been stopped for being "suspiciously black"? No...?Time for the classic Constable Savage sketch again...
I have been stopped and even arrested for things I have not done. One thing I didn't do was run though as I knew I had nothing to hide and had done nothing wrong.
It’s quite simple. If the cops say stop. Stop……….unless of course you’ve got something to hide.

The data further shows that officers were more than nine times as likely to have drawn Tasers (but not discharged them) on Black people than on White people. Additionally, Black people were eight times more likely to be ‘compliant handcuffed’ than White people and over three times more likely to have a spit and bite guard used on them than White people.Report from HM Inspector of Constabularyhttps://www.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmicfrs/wp-content/uploads/disproportionate-use-of-police-powers-spotlight-on-stop-search-and-use-of-force.pdf

Privilege? What a ridiculous thing to say?
And irrespective of your link, the police force, especially the Met, are so woke right now that they're scared to let their officers do their job properly without fear of some sort of reprisal, normally by the repulsive media.
Like all these idiot protesters sitting in the roads of London. How on earth is that not wilful obstruction and a breach of the peace, yet the police are hardly on rapid response to remove them to let Londoners get on with their daily life without any more hinderance. Life is tough enough right now so we really don't need brainless morons upsetting everyone, because that is all that they're doing, they are not gaining any support by the decent general public whatsoever.

People protesting in a way you don't like are "idiots" and, of course, YOU are part of the "decent" general public. And the fact that this planet is facing a Climate Emergency isn't as important as making life easier for you, even though when (not if!) Global Warming starts having a real effect, that's going to make life a hell of a lot more tougher for you and everyone else.They have *tried* protesting "nicely". There have been campaigns and petitions and letters to MPs and TV programmes and warnings from scientists and successive governments have said "Yes, we agree, something needs to be done" before they kick the can down the road again.And now we have a Prime Minister who isn't even going to bother to go to the COP 27 conference, showing exactly how much he cares...So people are taking action that makes others have to pay attention and whilst that may be inconvenient for you and might lose some support from the "decent general public" (ie people who think like you, others are going to start thinking "maybe they have a point". But I'm sure you'd rather the Police just lock them all away, just like those who think a "few broken bones" might deter others and we take another step down the slippery slope to living in a wonderfully dystopian Police State...
When some people have an instant disrespect for a person in uniform.

"So woke"? You mean trying hard not to be "Institutionally Racist"?!

You ride a motorbike, and have a motor vehicle too, yet are supporting Stop Oil Protesters?
