[edit] Incident in Hyde Park

I re-wrote this section in regards to the incident in Hyde Park. I felt that the neutrality of this section wasn't neutral, especially along the lines of 'Students successfully raised awareness regarding police brutality' The IPCC investigation hasn't been resolved as yet, and the section implied that West Yorkshire had been heavy handed BNC85 20:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incident in Hyde Park

I think this should be removed. Is it the only incident the West Yorkshire police have been investigated for? If not, why is it the only one mentioned? There are far more important incidents in the force's history - the Chapeltown riots, Manningham riots and the controversy over the Yorkshire Ripper investigation for example. Furthermore, there is no reference to what the actual incident was, what the complaints were about or anything. User:nebbish 10.46, 8 August 2007

Yeah - I agree it should be removed. I think it was originally posted after the incident when emotions were rife. As of yet, I've not heard anything in regards to the IPCC outcome. The University of Leeds issued a formal statement saying that if any of the UoL students were to be found to have acted in a manner that would have disgraced the University, then they would be punished - not the police! But yeah, I'm up for removal. BNC85 14:19, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
