One law for the DUP...
Sinn Fein's Brian McCaffrey has accused the RUC of double standards
in their handling of a recent DUP protest at Fivemiletown.
The DUP protest occurred when David Trimble visited the town two
weeks ago. During the protest a female RUC officer was pushed in
front of a car, a male officer was kicked in the head and another
received a broken finger as about 100 DUP protestors attacked UUP
members.
During the incident the DUP's Bert Johnston was captured on TV
kicking the UUP's Derrick Nixon.
Brian McCaffrey, commenting on the fracas, said ``If it had been a
republican protest there would have been a different outcome. It is
not surprising there were no arrests. It's just unionists falling out
among themselves. It is a unionist police force and maybe they were
somewhat confused by the situation and did not know how to react''.
