Confrontation and anti-media(tion), G8 2005

Analysis | G8 2005 - Scotland | About

But evidently not. The magazine "Police Review", in its 14 November edition, decided that the introduction of new rules preventing firearms officers from conferring after a shooting was best illustrated by this appalling cartoon. more
