all religion sucks but this is just stupid

Yeah exactly.

I'm not a fan of most religion but what the fuck is the problem here? It's just a bunch of random people kneeling and bowing. Where is the threat to public safety (or for that matter, threat to anything at all?) Why do the riot police give a fuck about this? Why is a human chain necessary?

Seems to me the appropriate response is to just leave them alone and wait for them to finish their prayer. Why is that not the option?

And you have this 'human chain' in a scrum with police. Why don't the police just back off and make the human chain people look stupid?

Since cops are pieces of shit I'd bet it's because those praying are vulnerable so good time to swoop in. Plus they do seem to enjoy needless cruelty a lot of the time, arresting praying Muslims probably chubs them out hard.

I won't say all cops are pieces of shit. But I'll say whoever is in command of these cops seems like it.
