What was She doing wrong???

[Dave20046]

Directly ripped from another forum - what do you guys think? Recognise the copper? I don't care if she was being an árse you don't just slap a woman for shouting at you and then beat her with a dangerous weapon.
... :

In another thread on here, we've discussed the death of Ian Tomlinson at the G20 demo in London after receiving a cowardly beating by police as he walked away from them. The discussion pretty much concluded that the police beat a lot of people in this way and that there was just a small amount of low level disorder from the protest.

A new video shows unprovoked assault from a large male officer against a short woman.

Here's what happens...

There is a police line alongside a large peaceful group of people. They appear to be preventing anyone passing. Anyone who tries to leave the demo, even after asking nicely, is forcefully shoved back.

Watch from 3:20. A woman questions why they are doing this. The officer slaps her.

She questions him again. He hits her across the face, backhand, saying "Go away!" in a Terminator-like voice.

She asks him what he thinks he's doing. The officer withdraws a baton, draws his arm back, then strikes her across the leg. She falls to the ground.

After this cowardly assault, the officer goes to hide behind a line of officers with blue tabards. These are the Forward Intelligence Team - their job is to intimidate people against going on protests. The other officers present move to protect their colleague.

The officer had removed his identification number, suggesting that the attack was premeditated. The sheer number of people assaulted in this way tells us that these tactics were ordered from a central command.

If you can identify the police officer in question, can identify any other officers in the video or have any other information, please post to the Indymedia page with this story and contact Paul Lewis at Guardian Newspapers. paul.lewis@guardian.co.uk

Here we go again.

Watched the video, she deserved it. She wasn't asking nicely, she was being aggressive and was one of those "everso rightious" types who would whinge at the slighest little thing if given a chance.

He told her to move back, she didn't. I'd say he PUSHED her face away forcefully.

She immediatly went straight back using the "they got that on camera and im gonna sue you for it" type attitude so got a belting.

Nope, no issues, give the bloke a medal.

Compared with the guy who was walking away, with hands in pocket, she is the exact opposite. Arms and mouth waving away, shes looking for trouble and if you want to get sh1tty at a protest, expect a belting.

No doubt the human rights and ever so goody goody human helpers will have great time with this one.

I swear if we got invaded by another country, the PC brigade wouldbend over and hand the country over.

There is a G20 thread already for this.

for one he pushes her back the first time and doesnt slap her she should have not stormed back to the officer. It might have been her hight and i think he turned around to push her away. I think she deserves it watching it again i agree with daimo. What would you do in a position like that, they are out numbered by protesters and if they let people get away with that behavior then they would get over run by protesters
i think he might have the next part in terminator

Everyone saying that the slap may have been an accident please look at where his hand ends up at the end of the swing THEN tell me it was not meant as a full-armed swing back of the hand contact
