I heard from a reliable source in the MPS that, as the non-public order kitted officers were being pelted with bottles, a sergeant shouted over the radio "Is someone going to make a decision about sending the TSG in here!?"

None, that's what. What will happen to those officers at the G20 who feared for their safety and justifiably used reasonable force? They'll be hung out to dry by the senior management.
