And that time could cost lives - in the #us context. Here in the #uk it did not - although nearly three hundred police were injured - no doubt to the delight of at least one instance in the #us . In #rotheram in particular the police escorted antiracist demonstrators - who were outnumbered and at risk from the #farright mob - out of harm's way and prevented #asylumseekers and #hotelstaff from being burnt alive in the local #holidayinn .
