G20 chaos - Supplemental 2

it seems the investigation continues to snowball. We have another incident where police officer was caught on camera striking an unarmed woman with a shield. And there are more than 80 people who say they were either assaulted or witnessed an assault by the police.

The police themselves have criticized the IPCC for what they call a 'witch hunt'. The IPCC also attempted to put an injunction on certain footage of the G20 being shown on channel 4, this however was overturned by a judge. You have to ask again; why if they have nothing to hide they should want us not to see recordings of some of the incidents in question?

The whole 'Kettle' tactic of keeping people enclosed for hours in a small space is now being called into question and the whole thing seems to be degenerating into an almighty mess.

It will be interesting to see how the police handle demonstrations a after G20.
