Each piece of footage from the French protest is better than the other.
Os franceses protestando com uma orquestra, tocando o tema dos Vingadores, sendo regida no meio da multidão.

I can now confirm after speaking to officers; that despite a firearms risk assement from the PSNI. Negotiators who were sent into the crowd and the air support unit were not briefed of any firearms risk. They are asking me why they weren’t told if one existed. @BelTel
I can confirm, despite the PSNI assessment that dissidents may have had ready access to weapons on Garvaghy road, no surveillance was launched to follow potential weapons. There was no contact with security services and no counter terrorism specialist firearms teams were put in place at any point. Serious questions now being asked of the PSNI that if they believed weapons were on the road why they did not follow that belief @BelTel

There are people want school bomb threats to be real and people who want violence towards members of the Orange Order just so they can justify their hatred for different religious and political persuasions than their own.

This is a violence fetish at this point.
Would those who blocked the Garvaghy Road be complicit in the murder of Orange men had the IRA open fire on the 35 pensioners waking home from church @ChiefConPSNI ....

This chart on intelligence is very important in context of today’s court case around Drumcree / Garvaghy Road. It’s worth noting that my sources say that PSNI intelligence was separate to the intelligence of MI5 who unlike PSNI intel- were on the Garvaghy Road, in person. That intelligence is unreleased but my source says it significantly differs from that of the PSNI @BelTel

Did dissidents have no access to weapons b4 PSNI submission to PC & aquired them in a week or if they did have access to weapons why did PSNI say no risk of violence? How many loyalists contiune to have weapons? Intelligence led policing doesn't seem to be working for the PSNI...

The only way it would cause distress to children is if the children were told what was happening. Why would you want to distress children like this. Especially for a hoax.
I feel like this needs to be said. Today regarding the bomb threats to our schools should not be regarded as a hoax. Regardless of the intent , I caused incredible panic and distress to our children, their families and our educators. It was still an act of terrorism...

Investigate who is carrying out these hoaxes disrupting schools.
Getting treated as a hoax but are investigating. Surely it’s taken serious until the investigation is complete

Kelly here, who started the day claiming Hamas were sending bomb threats to schools across Ireland, wants you to know she has no bad intent just legitimate concerns 🙄
Only one issue with this entire statement Islam in not a race it's a religion ! Being afraid does not make you racist it makes you normal ! Not once has this account actually thought about how frightening this must have been for parents teachers and students up and down this entire island, not one thought given to our own people !

There was no threat. It was a hoax. Disruption to kids and parents awful yes. But I really hope conversations are being tempered around children and they are not being exposed to false information that will traumatise and make them feel unsafe in school.

Is The Lourve only being open to the public because of the French Revolution totally lost on these people?!
Tourists are getting angry at being blocked from going in Louvre in France by protestors. These blockades are going to go on a long time, France knows civil action, and they know it works. Wages, Housing, Education is much more important then keeping tourists happy.

Dissident republicans may have mounted gun attacks on police had officers cleared a path for an Orange parade on the Garvaghy Road, the High Court has heard. bbc.in/4it7av5

If you believe for one second that email was sent from a genuine Islamic group then you were just waiting for an excuse to be racist.

The continued presence of any and all ACTIVE paramilitaries in Northern Ireland is because of politicians support for prohibition.

Where do you even start with this one 🙈
Bomb threats to schools in the republic of Ireland last week from people claiming to be hamas militants and now in northern Ireland schools have also received an email that is enough to alarm the PSNI , I just received a message from my son's school they are not closing yet but to even open a txt message from a school with the word bomb threat is absolutely vile , in the republic of Ireland last week the email said hamas militants want Gaza strip cleared , fair enough but what will disrupting our schools and threatening our children exactly achieve , these people are vile.

Days later & still getting replies showing examples of common patterns of rioting in NI or crimes intercepted. Wilfully ignoring point that organised loyalist violence we seen in summer was facilitated by PSNI inaction. Zero intervention given during days of terror.
Reminder that the only acts of organised violence seen on our streets this year was when loyalist paramilitaries weaponised disenfranchised young men and sent them out with petrol bombs to burn immigrant families out of their homes.

The characterisation of the large numbers of people - from diverse backgrounds - who exercised their human rights to protest peacefully and to free expression - in relation to the Garvaghy Road - remains highly problematic. A pause for reflection may be wise.

PSNI official position: "We need drug laws to police paramilitaries." Politicians: Meets with LCC. Umbrella group for still active loyalist paramilitaries. Ex PSNI turned politician: "We need a new report to update on presence of republican paramilitaries in our society."
