Note the concern for democratic principles:

Anyone with photographic evidence of police aggression should make themselves known via email, please, to help@LPBP.org.uk as this kind of behaviour in propping up anti-democratic decisions cannot be allowed to go unchallenged.

From the lpbp report:

For those interested in policing issues and the apparent increase in brutality over recent years might appreciate this video in which a colleague and friend, David Hoffman gives a speech in parliament on this very topic. It also shows some of his fantastic reportage photography. It's quite a history lesson, in fact.
