Don’t mess with the Hoff.
Written by David White“Mr Hoffman was working in a professional capacity covering the G20 protests. Despite being out of the way and not interfering with any police operation, an inspector in full riot gear ran towards Mr Hoffman and hit him in the face with a shield, fracturing Mr Hoffman’s teeth. As well as paying compensation and the cost of the extensive dental work that has been required, the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis has also apologised to Mr Hoffman for the treatment he received and has confirmed the force’s recognition that journalists have a right to report freely.”
There is a lesson here. DO NOT MESS WITH THE HOFF.
Respect, as ever, to David Hoffman.
