On a personal level, i feel if anybody hit any member of my family like that or people i love, i'd want to see them prosecuted. That's equivalent to a man beating his wife at home and saying it was 'only' a domestic. And i think it's generally accepted that men are stronger than women. Also she was surrounded by three other officers whilst being beaten.
I feel 'racism' may be one issue, in addition i think there is the perpetual issue of police who abuse there power, and police being accountable to themselves. No doubt that someone will wave the I.P.C.C flag at me but the persistent flagrant abuse of police power is a constant reminder of why some in society rebel against systematic repression, and merely mirror that chip on their shoulder, which in actuality, is more the position of their oppressors. I think it's scandalous that police officer was not prosecuted, and i think it's important that justice is seen to be done, and that clearly has not been the case in this instance.......
