they broke into a factory and attacked someone with a hammer
Just to be clear, the protestors were not using a hammer, but the person they attacked was attempting to brutalise them with a hammer, so its actually better to describe the situation as:
Protestors defend themselves when a police officer attacked them with a hammer.
I love your evidence is from before the trial, when the video showed in court finally showed it was the other way around and the police officer lied as the police always do.
A police officers statement is not a fact, and historically has always been a distortion to maximise victimisation of their institution and ensure they can inflict violence on the vulnerable.
Taking the narrative of a police officer positions you are very naive.

Your wording is very weaselly.

Really? Here’s something from after the trial where Corner was found guilty of GBH (his 32nd conviction)BBC News - Palestine Action activists guilty of Elbit Systems site raid - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2p99rxr5po?app-referrer=search
They put forward that defence in trial but the video obviously doesn’t back up their turn of events, because the victim wasn’t holding a hammer.
I suppose you will believe whatever suits your narrative but I prefer to base my opinion on actual facts.
