The TSG are the single most complained about section of the police
they are known colloquially by other sections as the Thick and Stupid Group. They get away with absolutely anything in the name of "public order". I don't understand how anyone can watch the footage of the protests in London and not think that the police over-reacted.

Don't forget that the reason they were there is because an officer was filmed assaulting a member of the public in a way which directly lead to his death, known commonly as "Manslaughter", and yet no-one has been brought to book for it.

The problem with this whole situation is that the police are a law unto themselves and can operate in any way they choose with almost complete impunity, and this case is just another example of that.
