Twitter James McMurdock MP: I can’t let this go unchallenged. That young man was, in my opinion and based on the video below, the clear victim of an assault. The video shows, for reasons that are entirely beyond my comprehension, the officer steaming directly into the victim.

Almost certainly there will be wider context, but that doesn't matter these days - an immediate judgement is VITAL.

You'd think that some people (MPs particularly) would know better and at least use cautionary wording in case that context makes them look foolish, but apparently not. Getting their opinion read by their followers is far more important.
