Policeman "murdered" G20 protestor.

[buzzy]

Dramatic footage obtained by the Guardian shows that the man who died at last week's G20 protests in London was attacked from behind and thrown to the ground by a baton?wielding police officer in riot gear.

Moments after the assault on Ian Tomlinson was captured on video, he suffered a heart attack and died.

It sheds new light on the events surrounding the death of the 47-year-old newspaper seller, who had been on his way home from work when he was confronted by lines of riot police near the Bank of England.

UK coppaz, there is no law they make their own.

[collegeboobies]

yeah that sucks

[Rochard]

I'm confused. He was protesting, confronted the police, and THEN had a heart attack... And it's the police's fault? Maybe the fact that he was protesting in a manner that required the police to step in caused his heart attack.

These fucking protesters are protesting for sake of protesting. They've always protested and I failed to understand why. Now that they have a fucking reason to protest, well, no one takes them seriously. On top of this I love the video footage of them in London smashing a table through a window of a local business. I bet you it was looted shortly after. And we wonder why we have problems.

There's really nothing to be confused about. The police claimed he was impeding the way of medics. He was not. Pretty simple.

He wasn't protesting, he was walking home from work. Another clear instance of why Rochard is a douche. You can't fucking read worth a piss.

It is a real tragedy that the disruptions caused by the radical Marxist protesters resulted in the accidental death of a decent hard working citizen. It goes to show how important it is to put a stop to these worthless fucks before they cause more disruptions to the social order and more unnecessary deaths.

[Martin]

Fuck all these fascist pigs.

I wouldn't necessarily call them worthless fucks. But yea, sometimes police officers do get a little too rough and end up killing innocent people.

[smutnut]

If the heat is too fucking hot, get the fuck out of the kitchen and nothing applies to that more than this situation. He was fucking begging to die!

Yea and sometimes a decent citizen gets caught up in a melee caused by some worthless spoiled trust fund Marxist punks throwing bottles and rioting because their pathetic lives lack a purpose.

[_Richard_]

fucking disgusting, that dude should have moved his ass with dogs behind him, but if he is ready to die from a blow to the head, mr. masked fuckup copper should be hung

why public police officers get free tickets from the deaths of innocent victims is beyond me

[CIVMatt]

Stupid hippies

[smutnut]

You know what this is so much bullshit! Sometimes cops screw up. Seriously, I had to do 18 months federal and the cops should have screwed up. I don't love cops. I'm a democrat, but I do believe if the bad guys were crawling in your window you would wish we had police. So stop bashing them more than is necessary.

[Sly]

If someone dies at the Running of the Bulls... who's fault is it?

[Quagmire]

who cares...

Uh, if it wasn't for the cops I would shoot every ugly MoFo who stepped near
my home.

So I don't get your point that I need them.

Actually I think you proved my point. I hate cops too, but if someone steps on my lawn I want to shoot them if not for the cops (or rather law and order)

actually I really don't hate cops even though I've done time more than once, but I am white.

As long as he dies a martyr for their cause it still works for their constituency.

Murder is a crime, unless it is commited by a policeman - THE CLASH

He was in a public space (not private property) and not even part of the demonstrations, the guy was just walking home from his place of work....

You must be one hell of a coward.

[HerPimp]

Situation is usually the same. The police need to be on the side of the people. The people are angry at "the man". Police are given orders from "the man" to spank the people. Educate the police to be on the side of the people to get rid of "the man" and problem is solved.

this is what scares me about you guys who go around claiming to be military. In addition, you seem to wish to have these rights/freedoms removed. Maybe you should educate yourself a little.

You dont even know the freedoms you CLAIM to have defended.

Police are supposed to serve the people. When will they bring that back..?

Re watch that video. He was Clearly standing in the way of the police and when they approaced from behind with dogs he did not move. From the video you can see them telling him to move as the dogs got closer.. He was then shoved and fell.

His fault FROM THAT VIDEO!

try reading the story much?

Witnesses said that, prior to the moment captured on video, he had already been hit with batons and thrown to the floor by police who blocked his route home.

One witness, Anna Branthwaite, a photographer, described how, in the minutes before the video was shot, she saw Tomlinson walking towards Cornhill Street.

"A riot police officer had already grabbed him and was pushing him," she said.

"It wasn't just pushing him ? he'd rushed him. He went to the floor and he did actually roll. That was quite noticeable.

"It was the force of the impact. He bounced on the floor. It was a very forceful knocking down from behind. The officer hit him twice with a baton when he was lying on the floor.

"So it wasn't just that the officer had pushed him ? it became an assault.

"And then the officer picked him up from the back, continued to walk or charge with him, and threw him.

"He was running and stumbling. He didn't turn and confront the officer or anything like that."

[HerPimp]

That poor man dies from taking it in the back while walking on a public street. The cops should not be making them move. The cops need to join the people and grab the treasonous bastards who are meeting in secret to decide your future...

[Fletch XXX]

Its important to understand this too:

The police report they wrote did not state there was ever a confrontation. Read this slow

the Metropolitan police made no reference to any contact with officers and simply described attempts by police medics and an ambulance crew to save his life after he collapsed

They wrote the report as if they were just helping the guy and were attacked. The video goes against their report. = guilty.

folks you need to learn how to read and understand things. This thread brought to you by the word: comprehension

[Martin]

Just search Police Brutality on youtube, you'll see some sick shit and they don't care if you're black, white, young, old, male or female.

[Sarah_Jayne]

This is going to be a huge case here...just growing every day.

[Cherry7]

In the UK if you protest you are runnning the risk of being "kettled".

Trapped and kept by the police for hours, while they abuse you, threaten and assault you.

You also run the risk of being murdered.


Meanwhile we are fighting for "freedom" in two or more countries....


Where I live there is now a "Dispersal Order" in effect to stop Eastern Europeans from looking for work. Any groups of more than two can be arrested at the whim of a policemen and face 3 months in jail / 2500 pound fine.

Then of course there is the anti-terrorist laws....

[John-ACWM]

Policemen are nothing but delinquents that are getting away with it
