Is there anybody in Britain who could have got away with forcibly pushing Ian Tomlinson to the floor and got away with it….except a British police officer?
Er, no.
What’s really sad is that it isn’t a surprise.
The CPS could have charged the officer if they’d done so within 6 months of the incident, but funnily enough it took 16 months for them to decide what to do. Funny that.
Well done British justice. Another fine day for us all.
