When video is a weapon. Re-posting this today as it seems appropriate.
If it wasn't for the camera this brave young woman would no doubt have been killed as she tries to stop Israeli soldiers firing on unarmed Palestinian demonstrators - which they do on a regular basis.
I've said it already but I'll say it again - The Ian Tomlinson video, and the weight of evidence that had already built up behind it, is a victory for surveillance in the hands of the masses, or a fund manager in this case!
On the police assault of Ian Tomlinson, Tory blogger Iain Dale says: "it's not what we expect from the British police force". Err, yes it is - get out more, or go on a demo and you'll find out what the British police are really like soon enough. Racist and sexist bully boys for the most part.
