	National Demonstration against Police Violence Trafalgar Square to New Scotland Yard. Saturday 23 May, 2009       Marchers arrive at New Scotland Yard and set up the coffin at the front
	If the cap fits...
	A minutes silence for those who have died
	People link hads to surround New Scotland Yard in a symbolic 'kettle'
			Chis Knight speaks with Sean Rigg's sisters on each side of him. A police officer stands impassive.  The mood is somber, solemn as we remember those who have died   Suddenly the whole mood changes as an officer reads out a warning from her chief over the loudspeakers interrupting the ceremony. For a few moments an angry crowd looks likely to attack the van - and it does seem a very provocative action in what to this point had been a well ordered and restrained - although angry - demonstration.against police violence. It's hard to understand why police took this action at this time - unless they wanted to provoke a riot. Fortunately the moment passes and the release of baloons continues
