Description
Charged: How the Police Try to Suppress Protest
This book investigates 40 years of policing protest in Britain, revealing a hidden police agenda against dissent. The authors examine how the police manage crowds, provoke violence, and break the law in their pursuit of control.
Through undisclosed documents and eyewitness accounts, the authors expose organised police violence against protesters, including miners, print workers, anti-poll tax campaigners, student protestors, and Black Lives Matter. The voices of protesters have been undeterred, and their stories are presented in a nuanced exploration of the true character of the state.
