[Dishevelled Den]

the problem is once some put the uniform on they think they are above the law and i have to say that is the mind set of most of city of london police

That's just a wee bit of a generalisation to be a reasonable statement TAM.

I became a police officer to help people, not to hurt them, I wanted to uphold the law, not to break it

I'm not entirely alone in these sentiments and, while there are well documented cases where police action or their behaviour was found to be lacking, I would have to say that the police officers holding true to my sentiments far outnumber those who disregard them.

Agree wholeheartedy with your comments and, in particular, the section highlit.

The press is a mean arbiter of justice.  As often said, in many a diverse circumstance, why let truth get in the way of a good story.

That said, I hope that the subsequent judicial proceedings take all factors into account (pre, during and post event) and not simply the sound/video bite that the masses appear to be using to conduct a full judicial review........

Indeed so B - I have no doubt that if either of us were back on uniform duty today, we would find it challenging - to say the least.

You've clearly interviewed 50% in depth?  Or did they just volunteer that information?

Pardon me, 51%.

I have watched the event several times..

police action is from behind..  and from experience in those events police reaction has the meaning stay away..  but instead of a simple pushing, there was more than that we can see as the period takes longer for the man to go down, although the moment blocked by some crowds..

this can not be defined as murder in our laws , but causing death because of  over reactions..  if he was here he would have a few years in prison.. and need to pay for the mans family..
