Met to review policing methods once they've finished kicking the shit out of everyone

A review of public order policing ordered by the Metropolitan commissioner, Sir Paul Stephenson, will begin as soon as everyone has finished having the crap beaten out of them by police, he said today. The commissioner was speaking as concerns mounted over police handling of the G20 protests earlier this month. "G20 was a complex policing operation and it was not an easy job keeping public order while maintaining the lawful right of innocent police officers to get punters in the back of the van and giving them a right good kicking," he said. Sources at Scotland Yard say they hope to have given everybody a good going over by the middle of next week.
