Police badge-covering condemned
Updated on 21 April 2009
The chief inspector of police describes some of the behaviour of police officers at the G20 protests as "unacceptable".
Taking questions from MPs on the home affairs select committee, Mr O'Connor also said it was "totally unacceptable" for police officers to conceal their number IDs, as several of them appeared to be doing during the protests.
But London Mayor Boris Johnson has been defending the overall police handling of the protests.
Nick Hardwick, head of the police complaints watchdog, the IPCC, told MPs that videos of some police actions at the G20 protests earlier this month are "disturbing".
The IPCC is carrying out three investigations into alleged police violence at the protests.
