Clearly this is the heddlu “getting their own back” in some way or another. Although he is the “top man”, I expect many other cops were involved as well in the choice of this image.
NWP/HGC were also one of the first police forces in the UK to start surveillance on internet discussions of the rave scene back in 1998 – they were also involved in an incident in 2004 where their cops threw a genset off a cliff as a vigilanté action, this situation escalated into a riot in which both civillians and cops suffered serious injuries.
