@marjolica@social.linux.pizza @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt I was being facetious of course, but police do seem to have arrested a disproportionate number of older folks.

Perhaps that's at least partly because they were the largest demographic there, but a cursory analysis suggests it was also to do with cowardly bullies with too much power, going after whoever they could use to inflate arrest figures.
