Man dies after being attacked by the pigs at g20 protest

Ian Tomlinson, 47, collapsed from a heart attack during protests outside the Bank of England last Wednesday.

Newsagent Mr Tomlinson, who was not protesting, is seen receiving a two-handed push from a police officer.

Mr Tomlinson was not causing and public disorder and was walking away from police when one of the big brave bullys double handed pushed him to the ground, he later died from heart problems

the police will get fucked here like...

Unknown to them why the bloke was going so slow and in the area at the time, I kinda feel they were justified. Moments earlier they had been crushed into a corner by 1000s of protestors.

They saw him as someone being deliberatly obstructive and taking his time to leave the area. The protest occurance was well known to all concerned, so why did he decided to still try and sell newspapers in the middle of it.

You mention the tube shooting. I would rather they made a wrong decision like that than some fucker blow up 100s of innocent people. Their cover up included national security procedures which were misconstrewed by the media.

Not a bizzie lover, but open your fucking eyes people.

eh? Even if he was at the protest the police shouldn't push some like that for no reason. It's police brutality at its worst. I hope the fucker who did it gets sent to prison. He'll get eaten alive in there when the other inmates realise he's a copper.

No doubt he'll get away with it.

I feel sick watching that video like. If it was a a civilian pushing someone like that for no reason they'd be done for manslaughter without a doubt.

exactly! if he wasnt co-operating why didnt they move him like they're trained to do. Not hitting the back of his legs with a baton and throwing him to the floor.

How else they supposed to disperse a crowd that aren't moving? He wasn't moving, they're probably barking instructions at him and he's wondering along like he's either retarded or being deliberately obtuse.

How do you know they didn't?

Is there any actual proof or suggestion that this push has caused a heart attack? Do normal people have heart attacks when pushed?

Typical fucking British over-reaction to a bit of media sensation.

It shouldn't have happened, but it wouldn't have if he wasn't blatently taking the piss and goading the police by walking that slowly. You can see the police telling him to move on at the start of the video.

Only a moron would think that the police don't do a fairly decent job in this country and I'd much rather have our force over the majority of others around the world. Do people expect every police officer to get everything right? There are people who don't do their job properly in every industry, it just gets highlighted in our services a lot more because of the profile of the job. They generally do a very good job in my opinion.

they were all pumped up with all the stuff about people coming to commit violent acts and believed their own hype and were just looking for anyone they could take a pop at.

When the people in charge of our security are given free reign to act as they like stuff like this will always happen.

The next time the government pass more laws to take away our freedoms in the name of our security, remember this guy and know there will be more and more like him the more that they are allowed to go down that road.

I think they will get away with it too. they are being investigated by other coppers for chrissakes

So you're telling me they're trained to do that to someone who it would appear isn't part of the crowd and only crime is that he's walking slowly infront of them? Obviously all facts arnt clear and he may of been causing trouble for all we know, but going from that video the police man clearly uses excessive force on someone that isn't using force himself.

You say people have heart attacks. I agree but it's a bit coincidental that he's had one minutes after being launched like that. He probably had heart problems but the heart attack looks like it's caused by what the copper did.

If it was a mugger pushing him over and nicking his wallet and then he died, that person would be on a manslaughter charge.

I dont blame the police force like the media will be doing, I blame the individual who did it.

i think this is absolutely discusting! I am with the police 100% but unfortunately we do get the odd one who thinks he is above everyone else because he wears a uniform! the one policeman should be arrested and charged for manslaughter!!

how do we know he wasnt walking slow because he felt funny, he did have a heart attack minutes later, that could be why he was walking so slow! unfortunately, we will never know

I don't agree with it, but if you consider that they'd all just been cornered by violent protesters, everyone is going to have their guard up and for someone like him to just drag his feet along slowly in front of a crowd of police was just stupid. I personally would have kept well away instead of looking like i was trying to cause disruption through ignorance.

They took ages to clear the street, and unless the bloke is deaf and stupid he knew he wasnt meant to be there, and was walking so slowly the justifiable force was warranted.

The people who say the video footage is shocking, take a look at the group of 50/60 coppers getting squashed and bombarded about 20 minutes before this 'push' occured.

Could you come out of that, and then adopt the 'please move along sir please thank you sorry to bother you' mentality that you want from the POLICE?

You must be full from sucking on all that media hype!
