Ian Tomlinson inquest - police officer crumbles under examination

Simon Harwood - the police officer who assaulted Ian Tomlinson shortly before he died - is not doing very well under examination by the lawyer for the Tomlinson Family.

Time and time again the notes written by Simon Harwood are being compared to video recordings. It is being shown in forensic detail that the notes are largely a work of fiction.  http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/blog/2011/apr/06/ian-tomlinson-inquest-live-updates is the live update for today. There was also one yesterday where the family lawyer started the demolition. There are also transcripts  http://www.tomlinsoninquest.org.uk/Tomlinson/HearingTranscripts/

Of course Simon Harwood and the police are not going to be held to account for this and all the other incidents, but at least the truth about this one is being dragged into the light.
