The TSG plod who's attack on a member of the public resulted in death, is wrongly reported to have suffered a heart attack.
Todays Sunday Mirror article reports that this nasty piece of work phoned his superiors when he realised he was the officer responsible for Ian Tomlinson's death, then promptly collapsed under the stress of it all.
Class War have it on good authority he actually suffered a panic attack on realising he was going to get shafted by his colleagues, and was released from hospital not long after.
It is not suprising the officer in question didn't realise he was responsible for the death for a whole week, after all, the amount of cracked heads and attacks on protestors that occured, it must indeed be a problem just who's cracked head was who's.
You have our sympathy officer! No doubt the Met will send you on an all expenses paid holiday somewhere hot so you can come to terms with it all.
Meanwhile the Observer are reporting that it could take up to three years for the Tomlinson family to receive any kind of justice, if indeed at all.

These pictures were taken at the attempted eviction of the squatted Rampart Street social centre.
The three cops in mufti under their jackets had beenhanging around for some time in plain clothes before donning parts of policeuniforms.
Further information about the three would be appreciated.

This sorry case is a reminder of just how unpleasant some of the people 'serving' us as police officers can be. What is perhaps worst about this instance is that those being assaulted are not prisoners or alleged criminals, (although that would be bad enough) but their own pets.......

If North Wales Police don't sack these two bastards, we hope members of the public will make their lives extremely difficult for them. Oh - and if either officer gives evidence in court against you, make sure your legal representative raises their 'good character' with the court......

It is with regret we report the execution of Yang Jia in China.
Some people do not suffer the idignities of life idly, and he was one of them.
Farewell from a distant land, Class War salutes you!

14/08: Look Out In Lambeth
The police are using an unmarked white Van, registration LY03 VFT.
There aim seems to be to use the van as a base from which to check cars against certain databases, before towing away suspect vehicles. Keep 'em peeled!

The West Midlands police inquiry into Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Mike 'Hot Toddy' Todd looks like being appropriately hot stuff!
'Sources' have already begun leaking from the report, first of all to the Daily Telegraph.
How Todd managed to find the time to lead the Met's police operations on May Day is a surprise given the amount of leg over activity going on at Scotland Yard! This also led to Todd tipping over a police officer she was under surveillance for possible corruption, and bombarding a civil servant he had just met with 'inappropriate' texts.
Here's to the full report when its published in September!

Metropolitan Police officers were rapped after an investigation into photos and comments posted on the Facebook site 'Look I've Had a Pocol' - slang for police collision.
The social networking site had more than 200 members around the world before it was taken down in January.
One photograph showed a police vehicle in an accident with a small white car.
The officer who posted it wrote: "I did him a favour. At 82 years old you just shouldn't be on the road and if you are, then most certainly don't go through a green light into the path of an innocent police car."
Another member wrote: "Ran over a drunk. I believe he has a permanent limp and a hefty payout. I was given a three-month holiday from job driving. Ooh, bummer."
One picture showed a uniformed officer giving a thumbs-up next to a vehicle, which seemed to have hit a fallen tree.
Another picture featured the wreckage of a patrol car after it had mounted the kerb and hit a lamppost.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan police said the offending officers were given written warnings for misconduct.
"Fourteen officers received written warnings and four were given a speaking to. The warnings will remain on their records. Another five had unofficial words in their ear," he said.
The disciplinary action follows a driving ban in January for a policeman who made 'thumbs-up' gestures to speed cameras while racing to emergencies.
David Mayes, 34, from Barnsley, was also fined £400.
Also in February, the Independent Police Complaints Commission concluded an probe into officers from South Wales who competed to see how far they could travel from the station while on duty.
The Gwent officers, nicknamed the "Seaside Five", took their patrol cars as far as the beach on Barry Island.
Two were told to resign from the force, another two were fined 13 days pay and a fifth resigned before the conduct hearing.

29/05: So, Farewell Then.........
To police magazine The Sharp End, which has had its funding pulled by the Home Office.
The May 2008 issue will be the last, as readers were informed in a curt covering letter from Richard Clarke, Head of the Home Office Police Reform Unit. It appears "new priorities and budget pressures" were to blame. Aah!
Perhaps they should have saved themselves a few quid by not sending every issue free of charge to us, providing Class War with some excellent free knocking copy virtually every issue!

Congratulations to Greater Manchester Police's Tactical Firearms Unit, who are working hard to dispel the public image of fat sweaty coppers standing around in kebab houses.
July seems to be a good time to rob a bank in Manchester, as much of the Firearms Unit is off on a charity event cycling from John O'Groats to Land's End, running to Dover, followed by swimming the English Channel. Phew!
It is nice to see that lessons are being learned from the Mike Todd fiasco. Whilst West Midlands Police investigate whether Todd's ability to run Greater Manchester Police was impaired by his womanising, drinking and mental health problems, it seems that anyone wanting to go jogging this summer with the Firearms Unit is going to have to undergo psychological testing.
To quote Inspector Tony Hughes "People were vetted not just for their athletic abilities but for temperament too. On such a massive project the psychological attitude is so important".
Memo to Greater Manchester Police: If you want to be in Tony Hughes' gang, don't drink a bottle of mothers ruin, don't climb Snowdon without your coat and definately do not send threatening texts to your mistresses husband, especially when the poor old bugger is dying of cancer. Got that?

"It may not be until 1986, twenty years after the massacre in Braybrook Street - if then - that Witney and Harry Roberts will be released from jail."
Gordon Honeycome, in his 1984 book "The Murders of the Black Museum".
Honeycombe could not have predicted that well over 20 years later, Harry Roberts would still not be released from jail, despite posing no threat to anyone. He clearly did not envisage the incredible rise in political power of the Police Federation in the same period......
