Arrested for asking a policeman for his badge number

"Dramatic footage has been released of two women protesters being bundled to the ground after asking a policeman for his identification number.

The video shows one of the climate change protesters being held by the throat by a police officer.

The footage shot by police, who were policing the protest at the Kingsnorth power station in Kent last August, has been handed to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, according to the protesters."
