๐ฌ๐ง๐ฎ๐ช - Early reports indicate the British police are preparing to use impact rounds and batons on the protesters in Belfast.
Notably, last year, there were protests in Belfast after two Romani Gypsies were charged with attempted rape of a teenage Northern Irish girl, which the police dispersed using impact rounds, batons, and water cannons.
In addition, during the protests of 2020 across all of Great Britain, not one single instance of such force was utilized against the protesters, which caused injuries to over 40 British police officers. Thus, highlighting the clear, legitimate claims of a targeted two-tier policing of the native British population.
