If this man didn't have a heart attack soon after I think not all of the public would have the same perception of this incident.
Personally if it was me I would have left the area quickly, I wouldn't have walked slowly in front of a line of Riot Police with my hands in my pockets.

PC Simon Harwood described the assault on Tomlinson as, "a pretty poor push!" Not from where I'm looking...

The police done everything in their power to destroy evidence in this case. They used a pathologist who was under investigation for incompetence knowing they could rely on him to contaminate evidence to save his job. They lied saying they never hit Mr. Tomlinson only to change their story when this video emerged. Yet none of the officers involved have been charged with trying to pervert the course of justice. The video proves that the law in the UK is completely corrupt.

@Erik20091113 it is only obvious that he struck him. anything else is speculation, to be decided by a jury NOT you, again that's why we have a judiciary. Your comment outlines how bad your understanding of police powers is, and more specifically the purpose of an arrest. The last comment is just nonsense.
