TSG Condemned To Be 'Toothless Tigers' Says Met Cop


The fall-out from the G20 Tomlinson death case will be a "Rioters' Charter" and the demise of the Met's elite Territorial Support Group, according to one serving officer.

"We are now faced with the prospect of the Metropolitan Police's Territorial Support Group being reduced to toothless tigers at the expense of public order," observed the officer.

"As a result of this officer potentially facing a manslaughter charge police will be very reluctant to get hands on. The outcome will inevitably be a rioters' charter.

"It will probably spell the demise of the TSG, which will be a spent force and have no option but to rebrand itself the Neighbourhood Assistance Team to soften it up a bit," added the officer.
