I’m not entirely sure that what I see here is an over reaction. People should definitely have somewhere to go raveing – but you need to stop mashing yourselves up for a little while and go and campaign for that in a sensible way. That’s not meant to be insulting – it’s just drugs/booze and politics do NOT mix.
But think about this; It’s your job and duty to shut down this event where lots of people are on mind altering substances (alot of which can make people emotionally unstable) and you get charged at by a much larger amount of people than you have on your side. The try to just push people back for the large part of it, but eventually it had to come to snapping point didn’t it. You can’t attack people and not expect them to fight back. Even though I thought the video showed the police using alot more restraint than I would have managed in that situation – which is why I couldn’t become a policeman.
I’ve been a drug taker in the past – and the problem with it is that it does alter your perceptions. Some of that is good don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to turn people into mindless conservatives, but it doesn’t always help your ability to handle situations on an emotional level.
Remember; there’s always two sides of a confrontation.

OMG

in all the raves I have been I have never seen such horrid behaviour from the POLICE or the PEOPLE…. I must say I will rethink about going to raves in the UK if this is how people behave when the police arrives, their doing the job that someone asked them nothing more…course it sucks if they pull the plug of the system…. but first violance is never the options

also the police just coming in and stealing the generator…there are ways and ways

I come from italy and if the police arrives than they make the sound stop and talk to the organisers and what not never seen violance at any raves NEVER, nor from the police nor from the people that are there to enjoy themself…

just purely ridicolous behaviour from both parts I’m sorry… no raver would start with violance which was the case there…you can see the girl trying to stop the police guy with the generator in his hand and of course the respond from the other officer smacking her about….

once at a rave 1 september, was party organised for charity btw… the police where on site even before the party started and the sound was mounted and they were civilised also the police force… in the end the party went down as planned with some police coming here and there

if this how ravers and police behave in this country i fucking wait to go back to italy in my holidays to go to parties as neither of the two behaviours is acceptable….nor i tolerate…

amen

it is not always like this; most raves in UK do not have this sort of violence…

there can be up to 50 or more raves per year in England and only about 10 of these are closed down by police. Out of those maybe 4 or 5 have “riot situations”.

There were reasons why this all happened – as much due to some bad decisions being made by crews as much as the reaction from the police.

Yes there is a “hooligan mentality” in this country but at the same time people are willing to come to peaceful decisions.

That’s a bit of a conservative estimate, isn’t it? :confused:

not really these days – there were more 2 or 3 years ago but lots of areas (particularly in Southern and Eastern England) are subject to harsher clampdowns from police and locals are grassing up more events if they are held in areas where they annoy people or cause damage.

If there is a large influx of raves into an area and it gets overused it is locked down and people start getting arrested and having stuff confiscated

This means a lot more crews are working together so where 5 crews may have each done a small party in seperate areas, instead they link up and share a single space so you get one larger rave instead of 5 smaller ones.

This is not necessarilly a bad thing IMO!

I have no problem with that either!! :biggreen: Though I haven’t seen that many linkups down here in the SW, there was a few at the tek obviously 😉

I just thought that it would be a rare weekend where there wasn’t a free party going on somewhere in England – so there would definitely a be a handful of party free weekends, but surely there must be weekends where there may be 10 or more parties going on around the country?

Perhaps I’m just a noob with delusions of grandeur? ;):)

Not at all my friend… there is nearly 50 raves per year in norfolk/suffolk area alone. Many more in the entire country… or are we the only ones partying these days?
