London cops just stood by while and passively those illegally blocking the roads, but only intervened when drivers got out of their cars and began to push the protesters out of the way. Of course, it was the drivers who got arrested. If the police had done their job and at a minimum removed the protesters from the road, then there wouldn't have been a problem.
I'm in favor of protesters being allowed to protest and I'm not a fan of vigilantism, but what should be done when the police refuse to do their job?
Compare this to Germany which has had similar protests. The German police, and some drivers, were quick to yank the protesters off the streets. And not so gently I might add.

That's the norm in England. It's also been done in some leftist jurisdictions of the U.S. That crap won't fly in Florida.

I say zap the bejeezus out of them with cattle prods until they get off the road and then arrest them. They're should be a minimum sentence of a week in jail.

There were a dozen old people, cops would have had no problem moving them off the road but the decisions come from much further up the food chain, that's where you go.
