My worry is that this will be swept under the carpet quietly and will happen again in the future. If it does get swept under then that is like giving the police in the future at such events cart blanche to do as they please and get away with it. I an no fan of the police and think that they regard themselves at times above the law and close ranks fast when one of their collegues is in the warm wet sticky stuff. Yes the G20 protests turned in some cases into an anarchic riot but that does not justify clobbering innocents (as it stands at the moment) just because they are stressed and pumped up on adrenalin. The sooner we find out what happened for sure and what the second post mortem shows the better!!!

What would have happened if all the officers on duty that day had fire arms and tasers and one went off on one with all the agro? Yes Joe P would have been in the pokey if it was the otherway round and an officer was walloped one. We dont know all the facts yet but with all the edited bits around, media speculation and other distortions we might never know as of the only ones that know one is dead and the other wont be allowed to talk apart from to follow the "party line" so to speak.

As for doing the judge, jury and executioner that is normal when we see what happened and is human nature.
