Those cops are a disgrace to society
fucking tax payer money
@@dinmac9246while protesting is fine it is illegal to block traffic while doing it.
The cops just see it as less work for themselves to not enforce that, and possibly support their message so allow them to break the law
That is why it is shameful that those cops are protecting the protestors
@@dinmac9246are you the old man wearing the vest?
@@dinmac9246Speak for yourself.
they must be half wits
Police in this country are an embarrassment
Especially when it comes to sharing pictures of dead women.
Totally unacceptable.
Yep. Imagine standing by for FORTY YEARS as a million little girls are systematically abused in this country by a certain demographic.
Imagine enforcing the house arrest of most of the population without trial because 'bad flu season'
Yea, Id be ashamed to be in the gang that did these things. Police are vile.
How dare they protect our Right To Protest, shame on them
@@robinpeterson3719it's more about defending the public's right to go about their lives and the reasonable pursuit of happiness. As for the right to protest. K'off
@@flagpoleeip
You wait until you want to protest about a government and find you can't.
Who will you blame then ?
Same people you're blaming now I expect.
I wonder if those cops realize they're the laughingstock of the world.
THAT'S a problem when you have people in the road illegally and you have police running defense for them. DISGRACEFUL
Maybe it was London had orders from there Mayor. You know ….,. ?
I'm with the van driver.
Why not the rider ? Way to go if you ask me.. if there is no protesters there is always a que of cars blocking the road 😊 I was that man once, but ques are way worse...
Everybody is
They should arrest those worthless cops.
Not even real cops
@moroteseoinage They probably are cops. It's just that because of the law, you can't take their signs or hit the protesters.
@@moroteseoinagethey are real police Wdym 😂
@@Ollie-lz5hr liaison officer. Not real police.
@@Ollie-lz5hralmost as real as your intellect
The police going after the frustrated motorist but not after the people illegally blocking the roadway. That’s our world now. That’s the society we live in.
Blocking traffic is a crime. Wtf is the police doing here.
If you ever feel useless in life just remember the UK police.
Not only UK police, it seems like every country police is defending these arseholes
They useless everywhere
But they will run into your home like gangbusters, if your autisitic kid misgenders them.
Aq no Brasil já tinha dado merda isso ai
not only in UK,its even worse in our fucked up Germany.
Any police refusing to get these idiots out the street should be fired.
Right on. Sir
Roads are meant for cars
They can get sued for that . Correct me if I’m wrong
How is their fault if higher-ups told them to do so ? I bet they had orders to protect them and let them do their protest thing.
Hard to believe that BS is what they are ordered to do.
Perhaps a total police strike might change things
I often forget UK police are actually police.
this country need to fire these policeman and hire new ones
Put me on the job, trust me there will be plenty of arrests
Those cops should be fired immediately.
Their government exactly
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cops are just following orders.. don't shoot the messengers
They aren’t cops they are pathetic civilian employees, the real cops can’t come out because they are on their periods.
Your mom
Instead of harassing him they should be clearing the road. That’s their job
It supposed to be their function in 1st place
This is the first video I've seen with police involvement. Shameful.
Partly true. If the demonstration is allowed police must protect this right. But WHO allows this where and to what extend???
Wrong! You can't take someone's property or assault them because they are making you late to work. The protesters need to start packing stun guns for the people that want FAAFO! You are not the law. Let the police handle it.
No one have problém with protest, but they blocking traffic there was (not one) exaple of this di*kheads blocking ambulance and someone died cos of it.
These cops are frigging useless.
People blocking roads should be arrested and fined. This is not reasonable protesting.
The police should be arresting those idiots, not enabling them. It’s infuriating.
The police have to do what the government want and that is stop us travelling - *ANYWHERE*
shame on the police
Finalmente qualcuno sveglio
Когда полиция арестовывает протестующих в другой стране, вы говорите что власть этой страны против людей и не дает им выражать свое мнение. А когда это происходит в вашей стране, то мы видим ваш коментарий.
P. S. Вы мне смешны.
No wonder he's annoyed, the protesters don't even try to resist him, as they know the police are there to support them...
It does put into question who these "actors" in these protests actually are. The strange thing about them is they have the audacity to hold up traffic in central london while simultaneously being so passive.. think about it. As the guy says he can see in all their faces they like this kinda stuff 😂
Yeah, in America obstructing the traffic is generally not tolerated, for obvious reasons. So this man is supposed to just sit there and do what?
@@Fighting_Fatigue_117 says the guy who spends hours sitting in traffic
Didn't allow the protests to continue at events where rich people were affected but the police support these tossers stopping people getting to work
The same police officers who now have the powers to stop any small protest and have on many occasions detained people involved in these protests. Imagine genuinely thinking the police and just stop oil protestors are somehow on the same side? Do you also think it’s all part of a conspiracy created by a shadow government controlled by communists?
They are more considerate towards those blocking the road than the man who can't access the road and will be late for work.
About time the police took some lessons from the French and German police on how to handle these protesters
I fully support the van driver. These fools are just troublemakers
All normal people support him! Only liberast who wants destroy country and economy supports rioters! They’re domestic terrorist !
in germany the police is helping the GUY. in the UK the police is helping the TROUBLEMAKERS. lol and i thought america is a bad country
yeah, how dare people try to avoid apocalypse
@@uniquegod1997The whole world is crazy. People think in the USA has a lot of stereotypes.
@@stonem0013Delusional
Cops need to be removed along with the other idiots
It seems like a legal protest. They way they're dressed the same way makes me feel like theres a whole organisation. Wander who's funding it...
Even the police have given up.... they are just liason officers😂
@@lazyweeb8473fantastic story behind that... alot of money came from an oil legacy in the US 😂
cops first
@@lazyweeb8473it is not a Legal Demonstration !
Those cops should be fired for supporting the criminals blocking the road!!!
Why are the cops protecting the people causing trouble instead of the victim??
Police officers should just stay home. They are wasting the tax that people pay.
Get their name and get them sack
the police are pathetic
These are not even officers, they`re just a bunch of bootlickers
Worse. They are helping destroy our society
They're liason officers... community police. They can only call for real police thats about it.
Any police refusing to remove these protestors need to be fired
Neither would this "protest". They always find safe areas to place their riots.
В ваших странах это невозможно нето што в россии и Китае и странах великого востока
Their government hates their own people. That’s why they want this to keep happening.
These were plastic plods unfortunately. It's the UK government's way of saving money training actual police. Liason officers and PCSOs don't have the same arrest rights as full police. They are about as useful as a pedestrian.
I'm french and I missed the translate like I thought "fired" like smoked, shot 🔫 while it mean loose there job 🤣🤣🤣
Complete police reform is needed
Please sir; let these people block the road and cost you your job. Thank you for your cooperation
I can’t imagine how frustrating it would be to have those idiots as your police.
You have no idea 😂
No wonder they dont allow them the carry. They'd shoot each others eyes out! 😂😂
Royal Wanker Patrol
Only thing they are good for, is dancing for LGBTQ. Not even kidding
They’re hands are tied as much as anybody in this situation. Political police
Let me fix that title: Working man tries to get past an illegal gathering of criminals.
that's the spirit
cops prevent a man from catching assault charges
@@cedriclasry9151Cops don't clear a roadway when they should.
It's obviously legal and the tactics are state sanctioned
Police in this country suck
If we are blocked on the roads, how are we going to get in London and pay the ULEZ and the congestion charge? Please I want to pay
The police need to be fired for allowing this B's and threatening the person that is actually doing their job with arrest for trying to get to work.
As a retired cop. I'm embarrassed
In Nazi Germany they would be arrest. In the uk we are free to protest against big oil destroying the planet.
Imagine what the last few World War 2 Veterans feel like...they stormed the beaches of Normandy and watched there Comrades die..for this..??
Shameful... These Hi-Viz Hypocrites would have undoubtedly been 'Conscientious Objectors'..😏🧐
( Bring back 'proper policemen and stop with this 'half price plastic park wardens'..)
As you should. Backing the blue gang is a reason to be ashamed. 100%
@adairishernandez-cabrera3664 he wasn't. That's his point.
I used to respect the police force not any more, they are an embarrassment to their country
I think the police officer should be reprimanded or removed.
Well... He gets orders from the government, so it's not entirely his fault, I'm assuming
Drivers should not be angry, just turn off your car, leave it in the middle of the street and dont go to work. It is government's responsibility to make sure that the gears are running.
Theyll get it towed and now you have to pay for the fine .... Frustrating isint it
Why do the cops defend criminals? Makes no sense
I support the van driver the cops are just useless
It’s not about science it’s about control
They are indeed useful: supporting the chaos and outlaws
The cops are good for dancing at pride rallies.
yeah brits have the most weak cops, the whole world is laughing.
The police officers should be arrested
The police are protecting the people who are taking others hostage. You should have never given up your done. And we never will here
Must be fired and charged
What police officers?
They're not police like in the states. different levels of authority. These guys are akin to crossing guards or meter maids.
Government enforcement agents
They should stop the protestors not the driver
Those cops should be arrested for public betrayal
what a spineless police..
Yellows.
These police officers are an embarressment. He has every right to drive his car there.
THE POLICE IS APPREHENDING THE MOTORIST, AND NOT THE PROTESTERS THATS BLOCKING THE ROAD ...
As a UK citizen, I am truly embarrassed by this.
The Police need to be sacked !!! Drivers pay road tax to USE the roads. Protesters do not pay tax, so get them off the road !!!
Government enforcement agents
You don't pay road tax to use the road you fool you're taxed for the vehicle and the amount of CO2 it emits. Cyclists and pedestrians would be taxed for the road too if that were the case
Go lick some boots somewhere
@@cigolsimons1768no that’s just a new reason for them to toll they made people pay tolls for horses if you look back in time
@cigolsimons1768 so what was road tax for prior to CO2 emission targets brainbox?
Wow this is insane. The police did nothing to stop the roadblocks but as soon as a motorist got out to remove the roadblocks the police were in his face and confronting him.
It is absolutely insane. This is holding the motorists hostage.
Yes we all saw the video
Welcome to our woke world!
Those cops should be suspended for aiding the terrorist
It's a crime to want to drive your vehicle on a public road which you pay road tax for, to get to work to pay your tax 🤔 but not for blocking the road for being a public nuisance 🤦♂️
The f'kin police should be clearing the protestors instead of protecting them.
British law maker are sleeping
They arent even protestors. Protesting doesnt include persisntently obstructing the free movement of people.
Oh, but they're allowed to break the law, don't you see. Leftists in power means only certain laws get enforced, and only against certain people when the politics warrant it.
Police is useless
These are the real cops that need to be defunded
Police and govt getting fund from EV companies...EV companies are behind this protest...to annoy public and soon govt makes an order..to ban Fuel vehicles and only EV
Kid, the cops are doing thier jobs
@@moharshad6882*their. And I’m no kid and I agree. Get those people out of the street and make way for people who actually have to get to work.
They're European police. They're essentially the equivalent of North American security guards. Absolutely useless.
@moharshad6882 No, they aren't. It is illegal to block a public highway.
If a driver blocked the road they would be arrested.
The police in the UK and canada have become a joke
No, police in Canada is way much better than the police in the UK.
Blocking traffic is not protesting- it’s a public disturbance. Should be arrested
I’d say that they need ASBO slapped on all their foreheads.
What would happen if they caused a accident and someone died. I bet you they wouldn’t get done it would be the driver.
Imagine there is a country where blocking traffic is legal if authorities are informed in advance. Yeah, it’s my country. I love my homeland, but this is just a stupid law.
@@Chris-ii6dtIf a driver driving at 5 miles an hour it's involved in an accident then of course he is responsible. What idiot crash a car while going 5 miles per hour?
@@adairishernandez-cabrera3664 you are presuming the speed.
Fact is these entitled jobless mongs need removing from the roads.
Fire the police impersonators
Ong 😒
And who is going to fire them?
The sad thing is is that they're not impersonators
I think you meant arrest them
Vote the idiots out who orchestrate this backward society from the top.
When criminals are protected out of a misguided sense of compassion and productive members of society are targeted and regarded as oppresors, you know something has gone terribly wrong
Ffs! Why did the police stop the man for taking the signs? He didn't even touch them. I like it when he asked them "what are you doing?" Good question sir.
If the cops allow the roads to be blocked then they're a disgrace to the society.
This is why the public don't bother calling police anymore.
The cops need to do their job… remove the idiots! They can protest from the sidewalk!!!
Exactly....wtf.
WHAT THE biscuits The protesters are STUPID for being on the road And The police is not even doing nothing about it this is very stupid of them
Police protecting criminals blocking roads. DISGUSTING!!!!
I’m glad they blurred the van driver and not those disgraceful officers. Let the world know all these idiots!
It's absolutely fucking disgusting that the law-abiding citizens are the ones being treated like criminals absolutely disgusting.

@@garrypotter2661 Crazy. It's like they tell the officers to protect the harassing protesters at all cost.
Peacefully protesting is a fundamental right in a democracy. Of course such a fundamental right is protected.
Getting to work in time is no fundamental right
Why not
@@AlbertZonneveld So if a group of people peacefully surrounded your house and would not let you leave that's ok with you? Don't be stupid.
Y’know what, I hope those officers can’t pursuit a criminal because of protesters, see how they like it
And they wonder why no one has respect for the aledged Police force. What a disgrace!
Those cops are traitors to the public. Shame!
They ARE the public.
Blame th country
Armed government officials not following the law but political instructions instead, you don't say?
At different times in history they've gone to many extremes, which is why free citizens have the right and obligation to be armed. Oh sorry, that's only the US, as long as tyrannical government doesn't get its way.
The police are obviously told by their boss who's obviously told by their boss being this government to let these individuals do as they like, not to remove them off the roads..that's the only explanation for this..
They are "Liaison" Police. It says so on their jacket.
Those cops need to be fired
Yea
Those police officers are a disgrace.
It doesn’t matter what you are protesting, you block traffic, you’re breaking the law
I'm ashamed to be British when I see police not doing their job...that man is a good samaritan and needs a medal
Honestly, if this is what it means to be British, you should damn well be ashamed. People in America saw how your country was conquered by all of this bullshit. We’re not gonna let it happen to us.
That's the law Madame 🫵🏻😌
Do something with your gu.. oh hm with your kniv.. wave your hands in annoyance lol
@HOLD THE MAYOR RESPONSIBLE.
@@i12b34uquick question why are the police there not doing anything yet they arrest and beat people up for tickets and being black... now this is confusing and contradicts all those videos of British police....
Can’t believe these cops are allowing these protesters to continue to block the road. What a joke. Those cops should be fired.
And their superiors
That's what happens when it's families with billions of dollars funding it all .
These idiots are paid for blocking traffic or clearing traffic.
This movement has not yet been seen in Latin America...but if it arrives at some point, I am sure that drivers will pass over them. There is no patience for that here.
I'm a retired copper, and these police are disgraceful. They should be sacked
👍
On the wrong side once again.
Why exactly?
their being told to act this way.hope they can look in the mirror
People shouldn't hate the police but respect the law and the men and women upholding it, this makes my blood boil.
Fire those officers and hire some competent dudes.
Honestly JustStopOil protests make absolutely no difference to pollution. Just slows people down
Cops need to be arrested for aiding and abbetting.
So the police confront the angry motorist instead of the vermin that's blocking the road?? That's the problem, right there.
Vermin?we're angry at people who have an opinion,and not the evil oil companies or politicians?😔
The police is the issue. Protesters should be on the sidewalk.
Agreed
激しく同意!
from Japan
You would not pay attention if they were on the sidewalk.
Yes i totally agree, and I personally agree with what they're protesting. Its just stupid allowing anyone to protest in the road like this.
@@StarSprangledBannerI'm not paying attention to them in the road either. I don't care what they are saying, in fact, I still don't know. They're just pissing people off and wasting gasoline.
“Traffic is moving slightly slower than usual” now that had me cracking up
These protesters be choosing the safest place possible to protest
These are the kind of cops that need to be defunded
They probably was and this is what was left!!!
It’s not lawfully to stand and block a public highway. Do your job officers.
those twats don't know the law then selves...
The policy enforcers treating the hard working bloke like he is the one at fault. Lock the orange cretins up . Get them off the street
How many extra people dying in ambulances due to backed up traffic?
But their bosses have told them not to remove the protesters. The other members of the public don't matter. Notice these protests NEVER block the PMs or Government motorcades. Funny that? Someone is telling them whee to block
@@nikitaw1982 read a comment about a guys friend I think he had a heart attack and there were protesters so the ambulance couldn't get their in time the guy died on the way to the hospital shows how brain dead the protesters are for not allowing any vehicle to pass fire trucks ambulances police cars etc.
“Liaison Police”?! Britain has truly fallen!
The police don't move the protestors blocking the toad, but as soon as the van driver tries to move them, the police are straight on to him.
“Why are you late?”
“Cops and just stop oil.”
“Oh that’s fine.”

Cop protecting criminals so openly. What a shame.

@@christianframe9788 You think they’re doing nothing? 😂 The government isn’t doing anything about “climate change”? These people do and think what the government damn well tells them to do and think. These aren’t rebels.
Those policemen should be very ashamed of themselves
They're following orders. Currently the law is grey when it's protests because if arrestable technically they can enforce it for ALL protests. And protests are a part of democracy hence they're treading carefully.
Police are paid actors paid by goverment so they do what goverment likes to see.
@@Superfoodcookieso why cant they dish out GREY punishment
@@junioradult6219 because they'll lose their jobs. What I meant by grey area is protest of all kind are legal. You could right now block a street with a sign saying "no more shoes" and it's legal. It's part of democracy that started this whole idea. So to pass a law that arrests people who distrupt othes means every type of protest even "get rid of the Tories/government" they can arrest you like the old days which isnt democracy. Hence they're hesitant to do anything.
This was not supposed to be happened! The police should be going after the people illegal blocking the roadway!
Our police are WEAK and embarrassing. None of them deserve that job.
Police allowing people to block streets is insane to me.
That's one of the reasons why I 'love' the UK.
To be fair, those aren’t police. They are liaison officers.
If you ever feel useless just remember these police liaison officers exist…..
