So peaceful protests should not be allowed because their might be violent counter-protests? That is all sorts of wrong.

+1.
I think "don't protest because someone is gonna kick the shit out of you if you do" isn't a compelling argument.

Not what I’m saying. But public order issues where there are thousands of people need to be taken into account.

So what are the particular public order issues that don't apply to, say, every football match every Saturday afternoon? I think you must realise that's a straw-clutchingly weak argument, not least because it's not one that anyone in authority has been foolish enough to make.

Like it or not, there are now new rules in place that it is the Police’s job to follow and enforce.
If the Police have got it wrong with how they have enforced, that will come out in the wash.
Given they have had 3 days to learn how to enforce the rules, there is a chance they might not get it right.
The Police don’t make the rules, they just try their best to enforce them within the remit of the law.
If you have an issue with the new laws, raise it through the correct channel. Spouting opinions on t’internet wont make one bit of difference.

What if you have no faith in the correct channels?

Continue spouting meaningless drivel on internet web pages that only about 100 people are bothered about reading.

It is pretty poor show if peaceful and non disruptive protests are not allowed and even worse if protesters and potential protestors have been detained.
I am reading elsewhere some people showing bravado and saying there should now be violent protests.

Got to LOL at the internet police telling people what they can and cannot post. How’s that working out for you?

Lawful is not necessarily morally correct so I wonder at what point a police officer says I don't agree with this law and refuse to enforce it or leave the force. I have people very close to me in the force who justify their actions as just 'following the law' and I although I understand they have their own conditions guiding their actions I cannot agree with them. I have also been told that in the recruitment process applicants who display empathy are not recruited?
