One arrested and two escorted from the store, what a different approach by the police, than that shown if it had it been a EDL demonstration for example.

"A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: 'Our officers dealt with a protest at Tesco Hodge Hill this morning where some disorder was reported. One arrested for assaulting police.'The protest was largely peaceful among the 100 protesters but some began throwing stock inside Tesco store. Two escorted from premises.'A spokesman for Tesco said the demonstration resulted in 'minimal damage' to goods.He added that the store was closed for 'just a few minutes' before it was reopened."
Perhaps the police action was proportionate?

From the descriptions I have read (in organs other than the Daily Mail) I think "wreaking havoc" is a perfectly adequate description of the events, Zacs.
A hundred people gathering outside a supermarket, entering, shouting and then throwing stock around, police assaulted. What would you use to describe the situation other than havoc? Or are we to assume that such behaviour is now the norm when something occurs that upsets a few people?

Why are you frightened to call a spade a spade?
Throwing goods all over the place, attacking Police officers, getting aggressive which lead to both staff and shoppers traumatised, I think it is reasonable to class all that as 'wreaking havoc'.

From the picture I've seen the 'havoc' was only to a small area and a few items. If they'd totally trashed the sore and pushed over a few old ladies, I'd call that havoc. And what's with the 'frightened' bit? Using the appropriate words rather than sensationalism is fear of nothing although to be fair the Telegraph described it as 'trashed'.

Is there footage of this actual incident?
Do you think that the police were actively attacked and then chose to ignore it and let the attackers carry on attacking people and committing crime? Wow what a poor view you have of our constabulary! I can assure you the police do take action amongst violent thugs.
From the description it appears that what should have been a peaceful protest was poorly executed and then hijacked by a mindless mob of thugs which was then greatly condemned by many other muslims who didn't understand these actions.
With the EDL sitting in pubs drinking taking cocaine whilst wearing masks is hardly the prelude to a "Peaceful protest" and it seems they have violence and disorder in mind before they've even left their homes according to posts on their websites and other places on the internet which after the incident never seems to be condemned but whose actions are applauded and cheered from fellow EDL members and EDL sympathisers.

Nothing to do with the Tesco incident but still in the West Mids, glad to see my local council has seen sense.
