Once again we see the police escaping punishment after committing a serious crime. This time it was for causing the death of an innocent man, minding his own business, Ian Tomlinson; previously it was for the killing of Jean Charles De Menezez.
This culture of impunity and lack of accountability is not acceptable in a civilized society. We are heading down the slippery slope towards a police state; similar to what exists in many other countries around the world. Having elected police Chief Constables would at least go some way to creating democratic supervision.
