It is a shocking that the Palestine Action thugs were acquitted

Smashing up property and attacking a female police officer with a sledgehammer leaving her with a fractured spine is despicable

Government ministers such as former Home Secretary Yvette Cooper attempted to portray the Filton activists as violent criminals who assaulted a police officer. The British press for the most part obediently parroted such claims and insinuations.

But during this “Filton 6” trial, body-cam footage released to the jury – some of which can be viewed in the video above – showed the exact opposite: Elbit security guards apparently assaulting the activists with sledgehammers.

Also it was self defense

The trial also revealed that footage went missing from a number of Elbit’s internal CCTV cameras covering key angles, the committee said. The security guards’ body-worn videos had also been repeatedly turned off and on, as well as edited by Elbit.

Is this the jury that was threatened with criminal action if they ruled innocent? Some faith in my countrymen restored

Is there a video of the attack? I could only find videos of her threatening the cop and then it cuts to the cops arresting them

Cop loses debate in the marketplace of ideas vs Sledgehammer

True, it's really despicable what they did. If you're going to beat a cop with a sledgehammer, finish the job. sicko-pig

Love how the property comes before the life of a cop in their message lol

I don't regard it as important necessarily, but I saw some of the video of the incident, and how the fuck did the hammer guy get acquitted? I'm glad he did, but I don't understand it.

Maybe the cop had a preexisting medical condition

Because Palestine Action managed their image and chose their targets extremely well, maintaining popular support.

Also the cop really didn't have to engage.
