	'Cops Off Campus' Protest Police Brutality Bloomsbury, London. Fri 6 Dec 2013
	Students stop and shout for a few minutes outside the Malet St gates of Senate House When students tried to march away they were stopped by a line of police; those who tried to go through were pushed back roughly The students stood in front of the police, then turned round and saw more police at the other end of the street and blocking their way on the only side road. They turned onto the campus and walked past SOAS
	and then up Thornhaugh St By the time they were opposite the top end of Malet St, the police who had been there were way down the road. The gate to University College from Torrington Place was shut with security guards on it. The students marched up Gower St, where a group of around 20 police jogged up and then stopped on the other side of the road watching the tail end of the protest The students went in the front gate of University College and stood in the yard before deciding to move on and make their way by the back streets to Torrington Square I met them as they arrived back but decided I'd had enough walking round London and went to catch a bus
