You never answered ANY of my questions.
I will answer and the answer is no. The scenario you describe seems pretty clear cut to me and that the proof was in front of my eyes.
Where you have gone wrong here Tamster is that you have take my request for proof of his guilt (which is a pretty basic tenet of our system of justice) as a criticism of the police. I don't know how you have made that leap.
As it happens I find the attempts, by Rangers and their media poodles, to blame GMP laughable. But you seem to think that I have a problem with an innocent person being batoned during a riot. I don't. As I have pointed out (and was criticised for it by you) innocent people will get hurt in a riot. I accept that, and I do not blame the police for it. You are being oversensitive about that.
My problem is not with that but it is with calling someone guilty without proof. I would hate to see a cop have his career ruined by being charged with brutality without it being proven.
BTW the picture above - I see the huns kinda saying 'don't hit us, calm doon !'. And i see the cop as waving the baton to disperse him. I do not see the cop hitting him. So I will not presume either that the cop hit him WITHOUT PROOF.
