Tomlinson Death / G2 Protest (or Quis Custodiet Custodiens?)

No charges to be brought against policeman seen / filmed / photographed clubbing elderly newsagent walking home away from protest.

Deborah Coles, of Inquest, called for an inquiry into the actions of all the public bodies involved in the case.

She said: "The eyes of the world will be looking on with incredulity as yet again a police officer is not facing any criminal charges after what is one of the most clear cut and graphic examples of police violence that has led to death.

"This decision is a shameful indictment of the way police criminality is investigated and demonstrates a culture of impunity when police officers break the law.

"It follows a pattern of cases that reveal an unwillingness to treat deaths arising from the use of force by police as potential homicides.

"It demonstrates yet again the flawed procedures that follow contentious deaths involving the police and stands as testament to their unaccountability."

Enough said?
