Police Brutality: G20 Meltdown Death Of Ian Tomlinson

Recently released video showing the police attack during the G20 Meltdown protest at the Bank of England, London, 1st April 2009, which led to the tragic death of Millwall fan Ian Tomlinson - a totally innocent man who was assaulted by the police.

In the words of even a Conservative newspaper like The Daily Mail "this video shows the moment newspaper seller Ian Tomlinson was attacked from BEHIND by a baton-wielding police officer" [0:26] and (to quote The Daily Mail again) this evidence "contradicts the official police statement".

In showing an otherwise largely peaceful scene in which 2 protestors are clearly visible immediately coming to Ian Tomlinson's assistance [0:33], the video also contradicts newspaper reports which repeatedly claimed that protestors ignored the injured man, and even that protestors attacked police who came (later, and too late) to Ian Tomlinson's aid (there is "truth" in this allegation to the extent that other videos show one plastic water being thrown towards the police). This evidence also contradicts the findings of the the official "inquest", which concluded that the heart attack which killed Ian Tomlinson resulted from "natural" causes - as if being smacked in the legs with a nightstick [1:21] and knocked head first onto concrete [1:33] by a masked attacker could be described as a "natural" cause of death!

In my experience of taking part in this demonstration, the police were extremely aggressive from the outset. Officers armed with nightsticks, telescopic truncheons and sap gloves, then attack dogs and horses, and protected by helmets, balaclavas and body armour, found the "courage" to behave with extreme hostility towards an initially peaceful crowd - long before any trouble was reciprocated.

Any time they feel like doing the honourable thing, Ian Tomlinson's attacker can be easily identified by those among his attacker's brave colleagues who MAY now find the courage to come forward!

This channel respects the wish of Ian Tomlinson's wife that it be made clear that her husband was NOT one of the G20 protestors.
