Footage shows a frustrated motorist throwing a protestor out of the way before being arrested

Just Stop Oil cause more havoc. How long until someone gets hurt?

An angry motorists has been arrested for throwing protestors out of the way in frustration – with police simply looking on.

The way the UK police force is dealing with these protestors is a far cry from our German and French counterparts who are taking a much more no nonsense approach.

In footage from the protests this morning that can be viewed here, the motorist gets out of his van and forcibly throws one of the dozen or so protestors blocking his way.

Police were more than happy to let the protestors block the road but as soon as the motorist decided to act they stepped in – and were only too ready to show that they can act with plenty of force themselves in aprehending the male.

But it begs the question – as people become more and more angry at inaction for those in power; how long until someone gets seriously hurt?
