That was more difficult to find than it should have been. The Guardian really failing in journalistic integrity by not providing the video or a source to it. ACAB.
There seems to be a confrontation going on before the filming begins. The police seem to be telling to move away (while also moving closer to them?) and the girls seem angry and up in the cop's shit. Then something happens (dunno if the girl in black does something, it's so fast) and the police shoves them. Then they really got up in the cop's shit and some even seem to punch him. Then all hell breaks loose and the batons come out and it just turns into a melee.
Dunno what happened prior for the girls to be like that and what's got the cop angry too. As for batons and shit, the girls started punching the cops so yeah that's no surprise. But the situation prior where the cop got up on the girls' shit seems questionable
The busies always make it worse.
