Anti-British war machine? Absolutely! Indeed, Evans was off work for three months doing physio. I do not mean to demean her suffering. I worked in rehabilitation medicine for three years, mostly spinal cord injuries. She got off lucky. No thanks to Samuel Corner. I can’t imagine his aim was to disable this policewomen. Nevertheless, he deserved seven years and eight months to think about his actions. However, that sentence for grievous bodily harm also included criminal damage with which all four were charged. Corner was given, deservedly, the heaviest sentence. I apologise for my error. Not sure where I read that. Thank you for pointing it out. “Sgt Evans held back tears as she read an impact statement to the court which revealed she was still receiving medical treatment and had been forced to give up her rank after struggling in the aftermath of the attack.” BBC I don’t know the British system. Do you mean the CPS would have written up the charges and not the officer herself? I thought CPS only put together the case to present in court. That would mean that a victim of rape, for example, would have nothing to do with the charges against her assailant? In any case, I support nonviolent direct action against property. Violence only happens against people.
