The Truth about Water Cannons

The Truth about Water Cannons

This post was written by Jacob on December 12, 2010

As many people will have seen, Theresa May is considering the use of water cannons to deal with “rioters” (i.e. protesters) in London. Public opinion on this will probably be under the belief that this just means getting protesters a bit cold and wet so they go home. We must be clear that the use of water cannons is brutal and dangerous, and can result in the following:

This man had his eyes ripped out by a water cannon in the protests in Stuttgart against the construction of the Stuttgart 21 train station. The image is taken from Der Spiegel, and has done the rounds in Germany, but is not well-known here in Britain. It is vitally important that we spread good information on the dangers of water cannon use as quickly as possible. Please link to this post wherever you can, retweet it, link to it on facebook, etc. This way we can build a campaign against this tactic.

I believe Theresa May has now authorized their use and at least two are now to be purchased by the police.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.

Please email her this link and send this link far and wide. If planning on attending the protests take shampoo, floaties, rubber duckie, shower cap and scuba suits. Seriously. To show that it is theater and peaceful.

And all thanks to the spectacular "Prince Production" of last Thursday when a royal car was deceitfully re-routed by the police - without the occupants knowledge or consent - into the middle of a demo, just so pictures of shocked royals and car damage could flood through the weekend newspapers and media.

All arranged courtesy of Downing Street and the need to preserve the Conservative - LibDem coalition government over tuition fees demonstrations.

And, I might add, there is almost certainly a lot worse to come in the times ahead...
