There are designated hospitals set up for both police and anarchists – I would have thought the reason was obvious. The ambo cocked up not police.

Public Order is brutal no doubts about it – In my experience (and trust me I know what I’m talking about)the anarchists could easily avoid the batons if they wanted. Shouldn’t whine if they get clobbered – seen plenty of them gloating when dishing it out to old bill.

JCD was a tragic error of policy and circumstances – not brutality (I posted on that somewhere on my ex blog and tried to explain,not excuse what happened) (Also met the firearms silver on that job – who did everything by the book)I’m also a firearms Silver and personally don’t like decision making by box ticking – but allowing experience to play a part means you start to assume things which can also lead to tragic errors.

All good examples. Do three outliers give us a general impression of the integrity of the vast majority of officers?

“I had an argument with a colleague at work today. She quoted all the usual examples of police brutality which to her meant that nobody could ever trust the police or what they say ever. But nearly all of them are ancient history.”

Ian Tomlinson? Jean Charles Menezez? Alfie Meadows?

You’re defences all largely centre around variations of ‘what do you expect on a protest?’, a sentiment that doesn’t seem to apply to the police.

Oh and the ‘better’ clip of the policeman being ‘dragged’ off his horse still clearly shows no such thing and its clearly filmed from further away than the clip I posted.

Look forward to hearing your explanations as to why police tried to get Westminster and Chelsea hospital to refuse to treat Alfie meadows. Even Nazi German forces recognised Medics’ neutrality.

Doesn’t that show how much “times” have changed even since 1990?

But I went back afterwards for more and couldn’t post about the clearance of so called “victorious protesters” – The mob soon melts when they know it’s coming on for them !! It looks brutal but can assure you it’s FINAL.

Unfortunately I’ve still got the army mentality of winning the firefight. That would make me a dinosaur today and prime candidate for gripping the rail at Westminster Mags.

Good on today’s L2′s – very restrained but can’t help thinking they are media fodder. The anarchists are praying for a demonstrator to get killed. When that happens I’ll expect the call begging Stressed to return to the fold. It will be a Sad day and evidence we’ve finally lost control.

Are you sure that’s a good idea? I remember a post about you getting clobbered in 1990!!

Really Tempted to make a public order come back with the Nato on ….. not blaming the students …anarchist infilitration order of the day. Mentioned this on my blog well over a year ago. The anarchists are finally getting the conditions they want

Let’s get it on down a non CCTV side road and see who comes out at the end …. They wouldn’t even take us up on that one !

“He’s a f&&king idiot for getting involved in a violent protest when he can’t get out of the way?”

Since he turns out to be a hardcore ‘political activist and blogger’, he can’t very well claim inexperience of protests, either…

And this doesn’t count how many officers were assaulted.

Riot gear is very good for protection from injury. It doesn’t indicate how many blows were directed at the police. Just that the police are better protected.

I’d wager that there were far more assaults on police than the other way around.

The week that followed my assault was even more interesting. I was supposed to be on light duties (owing to injury) and instead ended up fighting for my life in the deserted corridor outside the Number One Court of the Old Bailey.

Another time – my blog perhaps.
