It would have looked better for them if they'd investigated appropriately without needing videos to be released by the media.I agree, it's the Policeman and not the Police at fault, although it also looks fairly bad for the Policemen who stood and watched an unprovoked assault.
If the officer is dealt with appropriately, and preferably criminally, the Police will look a lot better for it.

apparently the police involved haven't come forward yetwhich is inexcusable to say the least. Kick them out, make it clear that such action won't be tolerated. Then the police force is improved and the public is reassured.

According to a 'news just in' thing on channel 4 news,the bloke who beat him with a baton and pushed him over has now come forward, which is nice of him.

More or less caught by a channel 4 camera.Fairly poor picture with people in the way, but it looks fairly convincing to me.

but it was kind of my point,i think the officer in question should be dealt with appropriately - but i'm fairly sure if i pushed someone over in a pub the worst that i'd get is a warning. he didn't actually kill the guy let's remember...

point is he's meant to keep a level head even after a days people shouting abuse at him and pushing him backhe didn't act fairly, he needs taking aside and making an example of to return balance to the force :D

that would be an ideal outcome(except for the guys family).......but he'll probably just be moved to "backroom duties"...and a caution.If high ranking police are only intent on cover-ups,wrongful imprisonment,manipulating crime figures etc.then there's little any "good"cops can do except toe the line.Cops just seem intent on enforcing a stranglehold on ordinary folk.Laws come into force and no one even knows how.Lots of bad intent in the powers that be:(

We'll have to wait and see what happens.Also, laws are made by politicians, the Police just enforce them. I think it's the politicians you want for manipulating crime figures, too.

you'll probably find that's where he came fromdue to the numbers of rioters (and peaceful protestors) every copper had to step up that day and maybe he wasn't fully trained.
