IPCC Channel Four injunction fails
FTA | 21.04.2009 20:36 | G20 London Summit | Other Press
The Independent Police Complaints Commission - which is questioning a police officer in connection with the death of Mr Tomlinson - sought an injunction preventing fresh pictures of events preceeding Mr Tomlinson's death from being broadcast.
Tonight a judge refused to grant an injunction, and C4 News and More 4 News intend to broadcast the item tomorrow.

Unless I've missed something, it doesn't really show anything new, just a different angle, and from greater distance. Can't see why they tried to injunct this, except paranoia and running scared on the part of police and PCC (no "I" any more, they've lost their "I").
Many defensive smears and dirty tricks to come, no doubt.

Tonight’s footage also shows an unprotected officer being punched by a rioter, so how can Joe public be critical when in the heat of the moment and under extreme danger the police hit out and loose control?
So we have all the evidence we need to show that there is not a strategic policy of TSG controllers to beat anyone in their path but rather just and understandable and expected reaction that again unfortunately resulted in the death of a bystander.
We should praise the police for their indiscriminate violence after all that is what they are trained for.

Don’t worry there is no need to panic good old Joe Public is so fickle and has the attention span of a 3 year old child so soon all forgotten and back to normal oppression …. Meanwhile lets all focus on how difficult it is to police ‘riots’ so we agree the police must need new powers.
