    Really?

    I thought it was OK, with those water cannons pointed at peaceable fans who had caused no trouble whatsoever. Totally unwarranted over the top display of aggression from their law enforcement people.

    Really?

    Some might, but some might have just shrugged it off without fretting about it.

    And some may have even chuckled.

    They were from a range of backgrounds and it seems unlikely they all thought in unison.

    That is the way of the police all over Europe. And elsewhere.

    Rather giving the thumbs-up to local constabulary rolling out water canon, I was more getting at the abhorrent ignorance shown by City fans at the sacrifice of the Belgian nation during mass European conflict.

    But the song was aimed at the aggressive robo cop police....

    Been to games in Italy, Belgium,Portugal, China, USA, Austria (from memory).

    Only seen the water cannon in Lokeren.

    Armed policeman in Chicago waved me on my way with his firearm as I tried to get close to Soldier Field in 1994.

    Then the answer to that would have been "Wasn't born then.Where were you?".

    They were regularly deployed in Belgium and France during Euro 16 and you could move for the ****ing things in Japan at the World Cup.

    Do Belgian riot police respond with chants?

    I don't quite know why we're debating the deployment of water canon at Lokeren, nobody has said it was justified and (I imagine) we're all in agreement about the fact that it wasn't required.

    A higher percentage of Belgian citizens were killed during WW2 than those of the UK. FACT.

    No. I was giving the obvious answer if they had decided to be as juvenile as the people chanting it.

    What would be the appropriate chant for a peaceful well-ordered crowd when faced with intimidatory water cannons?

    "All we are saying is give peace a chance"?

    As they weren't being used my advice would be to stop being snowflakes.

    Amazing isn't it that people - well, English people - seem to think we single-handedly won the war against Nazi Germany, conveniently ignoring that 40 times more Russians died during WWII.
