Commander Wayne Cheeseman said police officers were pelted with rocks, glass bottles and rotten fruit

Well then don't stand in front of nazis.

English police officers in Brighton figured this one out and let the '43 Group throw bricks at the BUF, Mosley didn't appear in public again.

Seeing some photos online that did not make it into the media, its clear the rocks that are noe famous only appeared after the cops had been pepper spraying, shooting, and lobbing granades at anti-racists for two hours

the police picked them up from outside the state library, where they had forced the rally back to by the end of the day
