I bet you can think of some differences between the emergence of a video showing previous unreported State brutality and the successful conviction of a policeman who caused death by driving.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214026669109045616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27939552.post-81244154106196650862009-04-09T10:55:00.000+01:002009-04-09T10:55:00.000+01:00And all the commenters who predicted that the man ...And all the commenters who predicted that the man who took the video footage of Tomlinson would have been 'arrested for photographing the police' were silent on the fact that the police car's onboard camera film was secured and used against him in the trial too.<BR/><BR/>Odd, that...JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.com
