FITwatch names FIT in Tomlinson death

The FITwatch blog has put names to some of the FIT team who were there when Ian Tomlinson was assaulted by TSG.
Having pointed to the difficulty of trying to identify coppers through visors and face masks, they say that two of the FIT may be Alan Palfrey (EK127), a part time FIT officer from Camden borough and Steve Discombe (CO2558) a full time New Scotland Yard CO11 public order copper.
As the New Scotland Yard lot often have the role of directing the actions of TSG and other police in public order situations, clearly there are questions that should be asked of them. Such as 'did you order the TSG to clear the streets using batons and dogs indiscriminately against anyone who was there?'
That would make CO11 as culpable for the death of Ian Tomlinson as the copper who hit him. Maybe more so.
