Smashing up property and attacking a female police officer with a sledgehammer leaving her with a fractured spine is despicable

I don't regard it as important necessarily, but I saw some of the video of the incident, and how the fuck did the hammer guy get acquitted? I'm glad he did, but I don't understand it.

Because Palestine Action managed their image and chose their targets extremely well, maintaining popular support.

Also the cop really didn't have to engage.
