This is the video referenced in my book Protest! showing the Metropolitan Police Territorial Support Group Inspector Donaldson chasing me down and striking me in the face at the protests against the G20 heads of government meeting in the City of London on 1 April 2009. His attack smashed 5 of my teeth. I’d had no previous contact with Donaldson which leaves me speculating as to who might have put him up to this assault.
