Protests took place in Rochdale on Saturday 22 July 2017.
The Force worked to ensure the events took place safely and ensuring the right to protest while minimising any disruption to the local community.
Chief Superintendent Neil Evans, Borough Commander, said: “This has been a challenging day with hundreds of people attending Rochdale town centre for the protest.
“I understand that these events are very emotive and that tensions may run high when there are polarised views and counter-protests.
“However, we have worked jointly with Rochdale Council and the community to ensure the most effective way to facilitate and manage this protest in a balanced and safe manner.
“This has very much been a community focused operation aimed at reducing the impact of the protest on the normal lives of people in Rochdale.
“I would like also like to thank members of the community who have acted as mediators and helped the smooth running of today’s event.
“In order to ensure we could deliver a safe operation we deployed large numbers of police which meant another busy weekend for officers, who have worked long hours in challenging circumstances to look after our communities.
“It was pleasing to see that this protest did not stop the people of Rochdale from going about their normal activities.”

We're now into weeks five of Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests and a new period of uncertainty. After a spike in violence, student leaders and government officials met for the first talks last Tuesday but made little headway. The government wants further talks but the students and protesters are less keen given there has been little concrete offered by the city authorities on the core demands of full democracy for the southern Chinese city and chief executive CY Leung's resignation.
There was supposed to be a vote held Sunday evening by protest leaders to decide on the movement's next move but it was called off. What happens next is anyone's guess.

Protesters gathered outside the Minnesota Governor's Residence in Saint Paul, Minnesota, holding signs that read "END MPD." This protest occurred in the context of broader demonstrations and unrest following the killing of Daunte Wright by police in nearby Minneapolis. The "END MPD" slogan calls for the dissolution of the Minneapolis Police Department, reflecting deep-seated concerns about police conduct and accountability that have been amplified by recent events.
This image is part of a continuing series following the unrest and events in Minneapolis following the May 25th, 2020 murder of George Floyd.
I don't normally do these type of images, but since the purchase of my Canon G15, I find myself more drawn to wanting to capture these sorts of photojournalistic images.

Women's March - Nashville, Tennessee - January 21st, 2017
This woman had her hands full during the march. Given some of the attitudes about breastfeeding in public, I would say she is a brave woman. It also helps to be right in the middle of a march that is supposed to empower women.
The Women's March is probably the signature protest against the Trump Presidency. Love him or hate him, these protest have been great for documentary photography. Check out my blog to read the story behind this picture and see more women marching the streets of Nashville here: Women's March

Global protest of agricultural-menace Monsanto comes to Winnipeg.
March 11, 2012 – Winnipeg, Manitoba. On Friday, March 16th at 1pm, concerned citizens of Winnipeg will protest outside the Monsanto head office located in the Smart Park, University of Manitoba. Issues include insufficiently tested genetically-engineered foods, global food monopoly, terminator seeds and aggressive legal actions against individual farmers and small seed companies.
“There isn't a better way to show our opposition to such damaging policies they perpetuate than to protest outside their doors.” Occupy Monsanto Winnipeg statement.
Global opposition to Monanto has included class-action lawsuits filed against Monsanto by farmers, an international campaign “Millions Against Monsanto” and protests worldwide. In the aftermath of the earthquake that left the country of Haiti devastated, over ten thousand Haitian peasant farmers marched against Monsanto to protest the “donation” of hybrid seeds to replace the countries depleted stock. Hybrid seeds are engineered to be sterile after first harvest to stop farmers from saving and reusing seed, thus creating total dependence on the seed company.
Monsanto is the world’s largest biotech agricultural seed corporation based in the United States. Started in 1901 as an industrial chemical company, Monsanto has been notorious for producing such deadly compounds as Agent Orange, PCBs, DDT and more recently Roundup. Monsanto’s product Roundup, an herbicide with the active ingredient glyphosate, has been proven to cause birth defects. In recent years, crops have become resistant to Roundup and in some cases, multiple herbicides are now being used. Monsanto produces 90% of the world’s genetically-engineered seeds. Monsanto’s inadequate testing and failure to voluntarily label foods “GMO” has led to many countries, especially in the European Union, to ban all GMO foods.

Protesting the new black format and "followers" vs contacts. No posts on Flickr except these protests until Monday. A PROTEST.
People gathered once more to make visible their dissatisfaction of the FBI's raids on anti-war activists on September 24, 2010 in Minneapolis and Chicago. I had taken two sets of two posters I had produced in 1991 in protest of the Gulf War. I placed them in one of the piles of posters. A woman selected the Martin Luther King Jr. quote, and I managed to capture a few shots as she held it once for me, and for a few shots by others.
Peaceful protesters have ensured that today’s demonstration organised by the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has passed off without any major incidents.
Officers estimate that about 35,000 protesters took to the streets of Manchester city centre, today, Sunday 2 October 2011. No arrests were made.
The event started with a march that left Liverpool Road, and included two ‘feeder marches', organised by separate groups, which left from Oxford Road and Fire Station Square in Salford respectively, and joined the main congregation for the march.
The demonstration then went along Deansgate, John Dalton Street, Princess Street, Portland Street, Oxford Street, Hall Street, Bale Street and then arrived for a rally at No 1 First St.
Assistant Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: "Organisers of the demonstration made it clear that it was their intention is to demonstrate peacefully, as is their democratic right, and this is exactly what happened.
“We are grateful to those protesters who co-operated fully with the police.
“We are now working hard to ensure that all users of Manchester city centre are able to get back to normal business, albeit while the Conservative Party Annual Conference and its security demands continue.
"We have worked closely with partner agencies, including those who represent local businesses, and we fully understand their desire to ensure that the city can keep moving. I believe we achieved this as far as is reasonably possible today.
“As we estimate that 35,000 people attended, and that their march covered significant parts of the city centre, we did require a significant police presence, in the interests of public safety and protecting the city. A policing presence, albeit scaled down, will remain into the evening.
“We are now focused on delivering the highest standards of security for all involved and affected by the conference, which continues this week.
"Manchester is privileged to host the conference and the event is good for the city.”

Protest against Ikea opening
Protesters and local residents gathered against the first German Inner City Ikea. Police and Security is protecting the entrances.
Within 2 years Ikea erected a 7 story bunker building in the heart of Altona-Altstadt, a multi ethnical residential area. Protesters make Ikea accountable for increasing rents, increasing traffic and pollution and the effects of a wider gentrification, which will force people with lower income out of their inhabited area and local business to shut down.
