Deadly Nightstick and the Pips:


Watching the Watchmen: One telling thing surrounding the death of Ian Tomlinson is that looking at the pictures in the press the copper who hit him (unlike those around him) has removed his shoulder ID pips (along with covering his face). This is an old, immoral and illegal Police tactic.

I know the Police have a hard, sometimes thankless and at times crappy job to do but this sort of things needs transparently investigating and clearing up.

It seems they’ve found the guy involved the irony being if the roles had been reversed (and a PC injured or worse) “the brave hero bobby” would have been starring out of the Evening Standard in hours.
