This is all over the UK news... whos right and whos wrong in this one ?

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson has asked Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Constabulary (HMIC) to review policing tactics.

Denis O'Connor will conduct the review after two alleged assaults by police during the G20 protests in London.

Sir Paul said footage of the protests would be reviewed again.

The police watchdog will also probe the second alleged assault, in which a woman appeared to be struck by a police officer on 2 April.

Explaining the decision to launch a second independent investigation, Independent Police Complaints Commission Deputy Chair Deborah Glass, said: "It is appropriate to use our own investigators to deal with this latest incident arising from the policing operation relating to the G20 Summit.

"I have taken this decision bearing in mind the death of Ian Tomlinson and the volume of complaints made by the public about the actions and tactics of the police service during the policing of the G20 demonstrations."

She called for the woman seen in the footage, identified as 'Nicky', to come forward to the IPCC.

Sir Paul also stressed all uniformed officers must wear shoulder identification numbers so they can be easily identifiable by the public.

I want to be reassured that the use of this tactic remains appropriate and proportionate
