All you pig lovers should really just shut the fuck up.

This was already deemed to be an "unlawful killing" and the pig responsible has a string of thuggery behind him going back over a decade. In 2001, to avoid disciplinary charges against him, he resigned from his police force (the Met (London) Police) and simply joined a different force nearby. A couple of years later he rejoined the Met Police, who ignored the fact he was a thug who had disciplinary charges just a few years earlier. He has already been outed as violent piece of shit in the British press, but his violent history was suppressed by the judge in this court case.

It's perfectly normal for the police in the UK to get away with murder, assault and other violence though. For example:

Three police officers were cleared of killing Robin Goodenough after he was stopped in 2003 in Oxford. Mr Goodenough, who was disqualified from driving, was punched in the face and left with a broken jaw. He swallowed so much blood that he could not breathe.

Five officers were charged with manslaughter after former paratrooper, Christopher Alder, died face down in police custody in 1998. A coroner recorded a verdict of unlawful killing. The 2002 trial was stopped when the judge ruled there was conflicting medical evidence.

Richard O'Brien died in 1994 after he was pinned to the ground by three officers and suffocated during an arrest for drunken disorder. An inquest jury found he had been "unlawfully killed". Three officers were put on trial for his manslaughter in 1999 but acquitted.

Joy Gardner died at her flat in north London in 1995 after police wound sticking tape round her head to stop her biting them as she resisted a deportation order. No verdict was reached at the inquest. Three officers were cleared of manslaughter.

"The police officer who was cleared on Thursday of killing Ian Tomlinson at the G20 protests has been repeatedly accused of using excessive force against members of the public, it can be reported following the end of his trial."

"Nearly 800 police officers facing misconduct allegations were allowed to resign or retire with clean records, a Mirror investigation has found.

All the officers were entitled to their full pension, even those later convicted of a criminal offence."
