Not really sure about your interpretation here? - "all" is fairly unequivocal (as opposed to "all those who hit protesters")? Also followed by an equally unequivocal "all coppers are bastards" type quote I seem to recall.

You’ve also got this use of ‘all’

How his colleagues don't react at all, indicating they had all done similar things dozens of times that day.


To which I responded

“Don't get me wrong - I think my earlier posts make it clear I'm no apologist for wankers like PC Harwood - but the claim that a lack of reaction from his colleagues mean "they had all done similar things" seems sonething of a stretch....”


That said I've now asked twice as to how someone could possibly know and describe the actions of every officer on duty that day which would, you'd think, give ample opportunity to clarify the remark?
