I had to look this up (here's my source), so here's the short version:
In 1990 Alastair's girlfriend asked him to take pictures of the poll tax riots for a movie she was making. He went off and did so. At some point during the protests, he saw a cop start choking someone out in a way that could kill really fast. He yelled at the cop for doing this.
In response, two more cops pinned him against a nearby shop window and one of them choked him unconscious. He was then arrested and charged with assaulting the cops.
During the trial, one of the cops said that Alastair had bitten him. A dental expert took a mold of his teeth and determined this was very unlikely, and it was suggested that the cop actually bit himself! Despite this and several witnesses corroborating Alastair's testimony, he was convicted and sentenced to prison.
This conviction led to him helping found an organization to provide legal services to those arrested during the protests.
The conviction was overturned three years later, and he won £40,000 in 1997 in a civil suit against the cops, which he used to help pay for his getting a legal degree.
for me internet friendships are “we don’t talk all the time but I see you’re online and it makes me happy” and I really hope it’s like that for everyone
Every line in this video is iconic
I would watch this drama
“Who broke the door?” broke me.
