Police have been using anti-terrorist powers against peaceful protesters for a while now. On the occasions they do get caught on camera it seems to be the case that a 'thorough' investigation is carried out by the IPCC...and then nothing happens.

The police officers that murdered Jean Charles de Menezes are still on the street carrying guns to protect the public (if it wasn't so tragic it would be funny).

Police officers can run you down, push you around, shoot you in the head, and otherwise act in ways that we expect to see on news reports from Zimbabwe and Iran. And what happens? They get suspended on full pay until the media decides to move on to another story and then they are back on the street.

This is not a new phenomena. Those here who are interested in social history will no doubt have heard of the Peterloo Massacre, Siege of Sidney Street, Battle of Orgreave, Battle of the Beanfield etc.

From the peasants revolt of 1381 to the present day our history of full of repression of the masses by the brutal henchmen of the elite. I see no reason why this will change in the future.
