A POLICE officer was filmed by his own body camera as he grabbed the arms of a protester, telling them: “I’ll do what I want” after being asked to stop, a court heard today.
The footage was shown as evidence in a trial against a protester who has been accused of assaulting the officer during a demonstration outside the Turkish embassy in 2019.
The defendant, who wants to be referred only by his initials JL, has pleaded not guilty to the charges on the grounds of lawful defence of another.
In Southwark Crown Court the prosecution said today that the alleged assault revolved around a push which was carried out “not with any particular degree of violence” but was still considered to be an “unreasonable act of aggression” against PC Nicolas Swift.

PETERSBURG, Va. For Petersburg residents Richard and Candy Taylor, trying to get information on where to get the COVID-19 Vaccine has proved impossible. They need to be a little more organized and they need to publicize the fact that it s available, said Candy.
Like many Seniors, the Taylors were waiting patiently for the vaccine to become available but when searching online for the Crater Health District, Candy became concerned. Nothing was open. It was closed, closed, closed. Petersburg was closed, Prince George, Dinwiddie County was closed, said Candy. So then I extended the radius to 50 miles and all of Henrico and all of Richmond City was open,
