Was it a woman

please note that with regard to the police man who allegedly assaulted Ian Tomlinson prior to his heart attack may I apologise without reservation. I keep referring to the police man. That is a sexist comment, it might well have been a police woman. Why was the police person wearing a mask, just like some of the alleged anarchist demonstrators. we do not know that it was a person in the police, they might just have been brought in from another service because of their 'skills' in riot control.
