Place your bets!

From the CPS report:

Members of the public came to his assistance, but Mr Tomlinson's condition deteriorated rapidly. Police and paramedics gave him first aid and sought to resuscitate him in the street and on the way to hospital but, regrettably, they were unsuccessful and Mr Tomlinson died.

What they fail to acknowledge despite many witnesses is that one of the protesters was a medical student and was attacked by police when she tried to help Tomlinson. They then refused to listen to her when the paramedics came, refusing to allow the paramedics (medical professionals) to even speak to her (trainee medical professional).

And this is interesting too:

Common assault does not require proof of injury, but it is subject to a strict six month time limit. That placed the CPS in a very difficult position because enquiries were continuing at the six month point and it would not have been possible to have brought any charge at that stage.

Great, so they used a legal loophole to get the copper off the hook.

It's just astounding. And they get away with it, every time. And we put up with it, every time.
