The injuries ranged from being hit by flying debris, attacked by protesters or crushed in crowds to dog bites and being scalded while making a hot drink. Officers from four forces were involved in the two-day operation in April. Inquiries have been held amid claims of brutality but police chiefs have said their tactics were "proportionate".

Upper Bann MP David Simpson said he wanted to discuss data handling practices within the PSNI following the discovery of a file containing background security checks on some 60 people this week.

We all have heard the glamorization from the newspapers about how wrong the Police were on the subject of the G20, now from the other side, the side that most tend to forget, and the side that i have far more compassion for. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8229171.stm More than 30 police officers were injured in clashes or accidents during protests at the G20 summit in London, new figures show. I do hope that during the duration of time, since the g20 riots these Officers are now ok.
