"Metropolitan police sergeant Delroy Smellie, 47, initially hit Nicola Fisher, 36, with a "clearance strike" by hand, which "enraged" a crowd of demonstrators outside the Bank of England."

Having enraged the crowd with this assault on a much smaller person Smellie then goes on to blame the people he had enraged. This "elite" officer claims that a carton of juice and a mobile phone were weapons. An "elite" "highly trained" officer who cannot tell what a weapon is. If that is the case then training is not very good, the alternative interpretation is that he is not telling the court the truth.
