but I prefer to base my opinion on actual facts.

A police officers statement is not a fact, and historically has always been a distortion to maximise victimisation of their institution and ensure they can inflict violence on the vulnerable.

Taking the narrative of a police officer positions you are very naive.

    they broke into a factory and attacked someone with a hammer

    Just to be clear, the protestors were not using a hammer, but the person they attacked was attempting to brutalise them with a hammer, so its actually better to describe the situation as:

    Protestors defend themselves when a police officer attacked them with a hammer.

    Your wording is very weaselly.

    Nah, the "established process" is exactly what the police want you to use so the issue can be sandbagged for 30 years and the officers involved can slyly retire and never face any repercussions, and since it would've taken so long any reforms proposed can be dismissed as out of date. Calling out the police violently kicking someone in the head is exactly what we need our politicians doing.

    police officer suffered possibly life-changing injuries after a PA member attacked them repeatedly with a sledgehammer.

    Of course when the video was released to the courts it showed it was the police officer doing the brutalising on the protester. Not surprising the police would lie.

    Jury trial with a unanimous verdict is serious proof the 2000 Terror Act is not being used to how we were assured it was, and all those people who raised concerns at the time are eternally vindicated.

    Do you agree that Israel is a country run by total murderous pieces of shit

    First Israel is not a country, but an occupation on Palestine.

    Secondly Israel is not just "run" by a total murderous piece of shit, its entire existence is that. If Nentanyahu disappears then every person who replaces him will be the same. The "opposition" to Nentanyahu opposes him because he isn't committing ethnic cleansing fast enough.
