Two people were arrested on Friday, July 8th in Glasgow some time after the Boogie On The Bridge demonstration...

One, a male [me, pictured] was a clown with dreadlocked hair under a khaki bandana and a big red clown nose, white face paint and was wearing a pair of john-lennon-style shades and a khaki fishing jacket pink patches of pink fluff sewn onto it. He was effectively arrested for hugging the fairy who was being taken in to custody at the time. The fairy, a female, was wearing a pink t-shirt with "terrorist?" [that's a question mark] on it. She was carrying a pink feather duster and was wearing a rainbow tutu. The fairy was arrested with the majorly trumped-up charge of "Assaulting An Officer"! The clown's charges are "Obstructing Police Business" and "Attempted Rescue Of A Prisoner"... These charges are complete bullshit and we can prove it too - but we need your help. Did you see this clown get nicked?

Someone filmed the whole arrest! About a minute before the arrests, someone with a vid camera filmed the clown complaining... If you are the filmer and you are reading this now, please come forward with this footage! A cop had been stomping on the clown's feet and shoving the clown about. The cop was majorly aggressive. The clown wanted this aggression filmed for the permanent record... Another cop was pushing and shoving the fairy all over the place and purposefully pushing her into people... The clown went on camera and reported the abusive behaviour saying something like "This cop is a real bully, he is pushing and shoving and stomping on my feet. Please film his face and make him famous"...

1 minute later, with the camera still rolling, both the clown and the fairy were arrested together!!! If we can find the guy who filmed this, we believe both the clown and the fairy cases will be dropped pretty quickly... If you didn't film this, but witnessed it, please contact g8legalsupport.
