  5. Yeah sorry, I had the woman's name wrong and had to re-edit it.

    I think as details come out we'll be able to better judge the officers' actions. From the video it's fair to condemn them, but it wasn't the start or end of the incident. Look at the page four cartoon in the Gazette today titled "The importance of context..."

  6. Have there been any new developments recently? Was a decision made about the student, or about the cops involved?
