Oh that's all fair enough matey. But my point is that we can be confident that not one officer arrested a colleague that day despite witnessing repeated criminal assaults. Hundreds of officers, thousands of crimes, no charges brought. This means that they all breached their sworn duty and a huge proportion of them committed crimes themselves. All but one were lucky enough not to kill someone and have it caught on film that went to a lefty media outlet.

What happened to Tomlinson was no aberration but was part of a strategy of excessive force and assault ordered from their commanders and obediently enacted. Certainly marks them all down as bastards in my book.

Turns out the officers on the day did complain about Ian Tomlinson being pushed and killed. The met covered it up, not the officers.

Not always so black and white

That's a crass entry even by your standards.
