Glancing through it, thought you wrote nipples.  But you didn't.

Try harder next time. I can't handle the disappointment any more.

I know it doesn't make sense - but what does?

I think you have to be careful with such things Tony. We see what happens here and it would be easy to condemn the police as having behaved in a heavy handed fashion. Maybe they did. Alternatively they may not have done. We don't know what happened prior to the video. Why were the police on the premises? Had there been other incidents prior to this? Had the police been threatened? All questions this video doesn't answer and ones we don't know the answer to. But you have rushed to judgement as people are apt to do. My advice is to gather all the information or as much as you can before forming a judgement.

Here you go Tony:

For many years the student protests we have experienced at Warwick have been characterised by a spirit of co-operation between protesters and University staff which has helped facilitate peaceful protest and a safe environment for students, staff and visitors to our campus.

I was therefore disheartened that yesterday’s protest uncharacteristically saw an unprovoked assault on one of our security team that gave us no alternative but to ask the police to attend the scene to investigate that alleged assault.

Let me be clear that the police were called solely to investigate the alleged assault on a member of staff and not in response to the protest on campus. When the police arrived our security team still endeavoured to get the individual alleged to have made the assault to fully identify himself before the police engaged directly with the protestors.

Sadly that individual, and others present, would not co-operate with this request and the police were obliged to intervene directly. I, like many others, have been saddened by the images of what then occurred which saw police and students having to engage in and resolve an unnecessarily challenging situation which led on from the actions of one individual.

I am sure that the vast majority of our University community continue to wish that campus protests are peaceful and safe for all and also share our hope that this unprovoked act of violence against our security team is an aberration. I am aware that another protest is due to take place on campus today and I very much welcome our Students Union’s reference to that planned protest being peaceful.

thats as may be, butt hat one heavy-handed copper in particular should not have been so harsh on one female, none of the students involved were doing anything wrong and you could see just by that policeman's intervention he was looking for trouble im afraid.
Bodil sorry! NIPPLES.

How do you know they were doing nothing wrong? Three were arrested.

I'm sorry Tony but the fact is you presented us with a scenario based solely on what you interpreted from the video when the events leading up to that were quite different. Any sensible student valuing their future life chances post education wouldn't have hung around following an alleged assault on an employee of the university and the police being called. That is a most unusual occurrence and not one most students would want to be associated with. One can only speculate on the motives of those who stayed behind following the incident but well advised they certainly weren't.
