G20 police officer guilty of 'gross misconduct'

The UK police officer cleared of killing Ian Tomlinson has today been found guilty of gross misconduct by a disciplinary panel for discreditable conduct and use of force.

Pc Simon Harwood, 45, admitted that he used unnecessary force when he hit the newspaper seller with his baton and shoved him to the ground during the G20 protests near the Royal Exchange Buildings in the City of London in April 2009.
