London police chief grabs journalist’s equipment

The Met Police’s Mark Rowley was asked about the “two-tier policing” of recent riots.

Britain’s top law enforcement official ripped out a reporter’s microphone after being asked a question about double standards in policing the immigration-related riots across the UK.

Sir Mark Rowley of the Metropolitan Police Service had just left a government meeting in Westminster about handling the unrest when journalists approached him on Monday.

“Are we going to end two-tier policing sir?” a Sky News reporter asked. Rowley responded by destroying his recording equipment and continuing to walk to his car. He took no questions from the press.

Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt described Rowley’s actions as a “petulant, childish even” response to a “perfectly legitimate” question.

“It was a storm in a teacup, but perception is everything,” Brunt said, adding that Rowley’s explanation that he had been in a hurry was “mitigation, not a defense.”

Though the Sky reporter could have pressed charges for assault, criminal damage, or misconduct in public office, he reportedly chose to give Rowley a pass.

Dozens of British towns and cities have seen protests and riots since last Monday, when a British teenager of Rwandan descent killed three children and injured ten others in a mass stabbing in Southport, near Liverpool. While the initial outrage was sparked by a rumour misidentifying the perpetrator as Muslim, demonstrations have since grown into a wider backlash against mass immigration, Islam, and the perception that UK authorities are more concerned with suppressing domestic dissent than tackling immigrant crime.

More than 150 people were arrested on Saturday for rioting in Liverpool, Manchester, Stoke, Leeds and other cities. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has vowed that the rioters will “face the full force of the law.”

Whitehall’s crackdown has prompted Reform Party leader Nigel Farage to suggest that there was “the impression of two-tier policing,” in comparison to the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots related to the death of George Floyd in the US.

“There is no two-tier policing. There is policing without fear or favor, exactly as it should be,” Starmer responded. “So that is a non-issue.”

According to Starmer, a “standing army of specialist officers” will be deployed to deal with the riots. “This is not protest – it is pure violence and we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or our Muslim communities,” he added.

The British government has also said it would “hold to account” social media companies that do not remove “disinformation.”

  1. What a load of rubbish. We see exactly what’s happening thanks to the internet. Two tier policing, two tier society, importing immigrants who get everything paid for by the very people who get pushed out onto the streets. It’s disgusting and he knows it. I don’t know how he sleeps at night.

    This guy is as bad as cuddles Coster, I’m my opinion the most sold out most useless and potentially corrupt police commissioner thisncp*nary has ever had the misfortune of having.

  2. “London police chief grabs journalist’s equipment”
    You know, if we were being funny, that headline could have a different meaning!

  3. The British government has also said it would “hold to account” social media companies that do not remove “disinformation.”

    Two relevant points:
    1, Is that not censorship
    2. Who defines this as “disinformation”

    • We’re so far beyond asking such reasonable questions at this point it’s not even funny.

      Western nations have spent the better part of the last 50 years selling out their citizens, looting their treasuries, inflating their currencies, poisoning their own people (both mentally AND more recently physically), and now trying to swap them out through mass immigration.

      The ONLY thing that’s woken us up to these facts is the free exchange of information over the internet. That’s why EVERYTHING is about cracking down on it as brutally as possible. Christchurch calls and threats to Elon Musk etc.

      If you were to believe Starmer’s government, everything was hunky dory in the UK until the evil right wingers just snapped and out of the blue started posting MISINFORMATION™️ on X that lead to half the country burning down. That’s it, that’s all that happened.

      Nothing about the uncontrolled immigration, nothing about the knife attacks and bombings in London, nothing about the rapes all across England, nothing about the grooming gangs, nothing about the reasons for why the public wanted to Brexit in the first place, nothing about how it was a meaningless betrayal and immigration carried on anyway, nothing about how they then voted for Boris only to be stabbed in the back again, nothing about how they then got a PM installed instead of voted for, nothing about how they’ve now had ANOTHER PM installed that nobody voted for, nothing about the knife attack that killed those three innocent children, nothing about the Muslim riots that were spreading across the UK before the stabbings even happened, nothing about the current 2 tier policing…

      Nope, this is all just because some Nazis posted memes online.

      And NOBODY is listening to them, which is why with every punch thrown and every Molotov launched and every migrant hotel set alight, all they want to do is prattle on about how hard they need to censor censor censor the internet. They desperately want to return to the tightly regimented MSM “single source of truth” model they had prior to the World Wide Web. They want the 70’s back.

      It is so far beyond a debate about “who defines disinformation” that it’s almost pointless to even ask. Disinformation is simply whatever they want it to be on any given day. They are evil criminals, abusing the tools of the state to evade justice and accountability for what they’ve done to their own people.

      They completely deserve this, as well as what’s coming.

  4. Ooh you can feel the frustration, can’t you. The UK establishment thought they could do as they like and are now finding out differently. My sympathy to the families of the children. I can’t imagine how awful this must be. As for the protesters or revolutionaries or whatever they are, I completely understand your horror and outrage.as for the UK police and government, in my view you need to be replaced, the sooner the better.

    • Stephen Knight wrote a book about the corrupt cops in the UK, and that the majority of them are Masonic, and they who are pushing the NWO have now without a doubt demonstrated their overt criminality!
      I would demand that he resign, and be stripped of the ludicrous ‘Sir’ title, as something like that does not deserve any respect, let alone a ‘privileged title’.
      And yes..there IS a double-standard being applied by the Israeli-trained cops, to enable White Displacement, as the White populations have the higher IQ and a broader-range of experiences than do the Bush Meat Biters, so the Whites have to be marginalised, disenfranchised, boycotted so that the J3w$ can move in the Untermensch with their impulsive, non-cognitive behaviours.
      How to deal with this?
