    but I prefer to base my opinion on actual facts.

    A police officers statement is not a fact, and historically has always been a distortion to maximise victimisation of their institution and ensure they can inflict violence on the vulnerable.

    Taking the narrative of a police officer positions you are very naive.

      Then perhaps base your opinion on what was said by the protestors themselves who stated in court that they were not in fact attacked with a hammer as you say.

      Isn’t the more likely explanation that a violent thug gave a weak excuse for battering a woman and that excuse didn’t hold up to the slightest scrutiny?
