London police officer cleared of assault during G20 protest



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

It's hard to imagine what someone has to do to be charged if this isn't enough. It was a very unpleasant scene and remember, people were protesting against the police violence in the Ian Tomlinson case. The protester who was struck was out of order but the police were definitely equally aggressive with the protesters. Again, the context included the death of someone by the police who made the mistake of simply walking through the area. Ian Tomlinson had nothing to do with the protests. If the police can behave in this way and get away with it, it's hard to have much trust in either them or the courts for that matter.
