The reason I put this video up was to show the methods used by police against ordinary citizens, and to show that some police are themselves posing a danger to the general public. This man was clearly not protesting or demonstrating, he was clearly not a threat to the officers nor was he doing anything illegal or wrong. He was walking in Britain where he's allowed to walk. Drunk? Maybe. But that is no reason to attack an unsuspecting innocent man let alone any other. Minimal force? Bollox!
Sadly Mr. Tomlinson may have been too drunk to cooperate. He is clearly moving very slowly in the video that appears to show police attempting to move him more quickly from point A to point B. Had this not occurred on a day filled with run ins with other non-cooperative and aggressive protesters I am certain there would have been a different outcome.
During protests police are allowed to push non-compliant members of the public, however not at the expense of those unable to comply. How sad.
@andysheepleton " Sadly Mr. Tomlinson may have been too drunk to cooperate" Not unlawful to be drunk. "During protests police are allowed to push non-compliant members of the public" Whatttttttttttttttttttttt WTF are you on, Police can't push you for not being a subservient. "non-cooperative and aggressive protesters" Are which makes it LAWFUL to go around backhanding women and pushing people to the floor. Comply???? Men in uniform have NO POWER.
@zooboo55 Being drunk does not mean a person can be abused, and in a perfect world being drunk would not put a person in greater danger, but sadly when you take a large group of lawless hooligans, put a helpless drunk amongst them it wasn't safe for that helpless person to be in the middle of the chaos that the hooligans created
The violent history of the G20 protests certainly call for firm police control. Sad and tragic that a confused, frustrated, helpless drunk man got caught in the middle
@andysheepleton If a person is causing an obstruction to police work then a policeman has the powers to arrest him. I don't know of any legal reason or lawful excuse for anyone let alone a police officer, to throw his weight to the back of a man who is walking along with his hands in his pockets minding his own business. Was he was incapable of understanding what was going on? If so then that was more reason to not do what that cop did to him. He was not part of the G20 protests either.
@Pantherandpolitics He was just a poor drunken man trying to get home from work. Sadly he ended up in the middle of hundreds of people who were intentionally disobeying and antagonizing the police. Were it not for the lawless hooligans his inability to comply with a lawful order to vacate a cordoned off area never would have been mistaken for an unwillingness to comply. What a tragedy, he wasn't some thoughtless political agitator, just a poor drunken man trying to get home.
