I think it was hijacked by a member of the Royal Family.......
You mean Kate showing what an exemplary member of The Firm she is?
People on twitter just want to be outraged for nothing
The police have to deal with them, we can’t allow for armchair warriors to rule the country
It's too hard to get an idea of what really happened from the media coverage because news outlets seem more interested in trying not to offend people,.
I have no idea if the police over-reacted(likely) or the vigil turned into a protest which then turned into some violence.
I saw a headline where someone was calling for all men to live behind a 6pm curfew. Madness. Once again, it is the permanently offended pushing their agendas and completely dismissing the real debate that needs to be had. So, instead of talking about safety for women and how best to approach that, some would rather lock up half the population.
Sadly, it looks as if there was an organised group there solely to cause trouble against the police. In hindsight the bobbies should just have ignored them however if the group were breaking the law it could be they had no other choice but to intervene.
Unfortunately nowadays, media coverage doesn't always reflect the full facts.

That headline was true, it was said by the Green Party, most of the members are women

You can't just ignore them, if they're creating trouble with such a large crowd, its likely to get out of hand very quickly
The problem here is there are legitimate reasons to protest. Pushing for positive action towards equality is good, but why is it all protests lead to this battle with the police?
It's a catch 22 because you could argue to simply remove the police entirely from the situation. But that's impossible because some are not there for the cause, they are there to cause trouble, to destory businesses, and to literally fight. Police are then in this constant point of explosion and treat all protests like a riot.
Who is not to blame are the people who are attending these protests, vigils, etc. with peaceful intentions to bring positive change.

It was supposed to ba 'vigil' though.

I know, it shows you how scant regards some people have for vigils. I just think some anarchist infiltrated the vigil for their own agenda
