Be Excellent To Each Other

What was the name of the deceased?
Ian Tomlinson.

What was the cause of his death? Injury or disease?
Abdominal haemorrhage due to blunt force trauma to the abdomen in association with cirrhosis of the liver.

If the person died of injury, what were the circumstances?
Mr Tomlinson was on his way home from work on the 1st of April 2009 during the G20 demonstration. He was fatally injured at around 19.20pm on Royal Exchange Buildings ... This was the result of a baton strike from behind and a push by the officer which caused Ian Tomlinson to fall heavily.

The jury said both the baton strike and the push were "unreasonable".

"As a result, Mr Tomlinson suffered internal bleeding which led to his collapse within a few minutes and his subsequent death." The jury decided that at the time of the strike and push Tomlinson was was walking away from the officer and "posed no threat".

What is the jury's conclusion as to the death?
Unlawful killing.

About damn time one of these cunts was called to account for giving our police a bad name.

If they look a bit foreigh it's still correct to shoot them first then find out if they were a criminal, right?

We all saw this right?



I'm not even sure what the police are supposed to be for.

Edit: Presumably no other police officers saw Ian Tomlinson being killed assaulted, or they would have turned Harwood in right?

PC Simon Harwood to stand trial for manslaughter over the death of Ian Tomlinson at G20 protests.

And hopefully in future police officers will think more carefully before assaulting members of the public.

But what if he drops dead a few minutes later?
