UK citizens told to allow police to handle climate kooks

 Breitbart:

A senior officer within London’s police force has begged the UK public to refrain from taking the fight against climate crazy protesters into their own hands.

Matt Twist, an Assistant Commissioner within London’s Metropolitan Police, has begged members of the UK public to leave combatting extremist protesters to law enforcement.

The request comes as Britons across the country lose patience with green agenda militants in the likes of extremist direct-action organisation Just Stop Oil, with highly disruptive protests organised by the radical faction now often being met with angry members of the UK public.

In a press release published on Saturday, Twist swore that the police were indeed committed to combatting the radical left-wing protests, and that the UK public need only call the force for them to deal with any disruptions.

“When notified of any activists committing offences, or causing disruption by blocking roads, our priority is to get there quickly,” the assistant commissioner said. “I would urge the public not to directly intervene, but to call us, and we will deal [with it].”

He went on to say that the force “completely understand[s]” the frustrations felt by the British public, acknowledging the damage the protests — which frequently involve blocking busy roads and motorways as well as vandalising works of art — were doing to individuals and small businesses.

“They are affecting people’s businesses, their lives, whether they are on their way to a doctor, a long-awaited hospital appointment, on their way to work, to interviews, or to collect children,” Twist remarked.

I have not encountered that here in Texas, but I can understand why most people would not take kindly to the disruptions.  They are also counter productive.
