Tipex   10 #289 Posted October 1, 2009 You fail to grasp that this is now a legal case. It is a case of criminal law. I have nver heard the CPS being referred to as -do gooders- before:hihi:  No one is above the law. No one.  The police are public servants, there to uphold the law on our behalf. Not the police-s behalf.  This was a peaceful protest. The policeman in question was not severely provoked or more importantly defending himself from attack.   You have the right to protest. It is one of our democratic rights.  No one has the right to baton you in the face, even if you have been asked to move back. This is assault. Please think through the logic of your argument  Next time your in the supermarket and the assistant asks you to step back and then battons you in the face....I may guess that you would expect that assistant to be prosecuted for assault.  Treat others as you would want to be treated.  This is now a matter for the courts and a jury will decide the policemans fate based upon the rule of law  I think any person would batton my face if i was to act like the women in the video. I don't know why your making excuses for her? she was in the wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
