Caught on camera: The moment G20 victim was hit with a baton and shoved to the ground by police


The son of a newspaper seller who died during the G20 protests has demanded answers after shocking video footage emerged of an officer shoving his father to the ground minutes before he died of a heart attack.

Ian Tomlinson, 47, was hit with a baton and pushed to the floor from behind by an officer in riot gear after getting caught up in the demonstrations in central London last Wednesday evening.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission is already investigating the death of Mr Tomlinson - who was not involved in the protest and was trying to walk home from work when the incident occurred.

The video, obtained by The Guardian newspaper and shot by a City find manager, shows him walking slowly with his hands in his pockets in front of a row of police trying to push back a group at 7.20pm on April 1 in the Royal Exchange Passage near the Bank of England.

  • this guys a pussy, why did he just fall down and not fight back. he deserved to die

  • Wow just come across this debate, It seems to have strayed of the target subject some what!

    Going by the footage one person in particular needs to wind there neck in.

    From this footage there is no justification for the actions of the officer in question.

    This particular situation judging by the footage could have been handled very differently, But i wasn't there and i'm guessing no one involved in this particular debate was either.

    So best to hang on and see what happens with the inquiry!!!

  • same reason that you could call afriend a cunt but do it to a stranger in the street and they wouldnt be too happy, work it out, it is how it is intended to offend rather than a bit of friendly banter

  • @cramphound "calling a gay person a fag is homophobic"  Then why do they call each other "fags?"

  • @TheSubzetoyou have never heard of homophobic language, calling a gay person a fag is homophobic you stupid cunt, didnt know i was gay? well maybe you will think a little in the future,

    You also make no sense, try re-reading your last comments saying i had no life cos i was on here yet so are you, that is what i mentioned- why do i have to explain it twice, are you that thick??

    Im gonna give your mum a big dildo up her arse and then you can change her diaper seeing as you love them so much

  • @poipoipoipoipois pervert

  • @cramphound baby need a diapy change?

  • @cramphound your argument is invalid moron, phobia and rasit is two diferent thing. lets me educate your; phobias = extreme and irrational fear of simple things. with this said, saying fag dosent mean im homophobe, and again, if i was homophobe i woulndt be talking to you. And for being on youtube, again your argument is weak and invalid, off course were on youtube you twat.

    I just called your mom to go change your diapers (still sound angry). P.S, tell her hi for me <3

  • @TheSubzeto Hang on a minute, just re-read what you are saying, so nigger is just an insult not racist??

    oh and you go on to me about being on youtube, mmm seems you are as well, pot calling the kettle black!!!

    I have job and busy full life thank you ,m aybe you should get one to keep you away from your diaper obsession, its getting pretty sick

    oh and i get email when you reply so will keep on replying cos like you i have an opinion so if you dont like it then stop replying

  • @cramphound if i had homophobia i wouldn't talk to you, calling you a fag is just a insult not a phobia and its not because you misspelled a word, its how you react to the smallest thing. your so angry its unbelivable, even for a guy (or girl) at there late 30s i mean dont you have somthing better to do? a job? family? but no, just go on youtube and bitch on other people opinion. i feel sad for you that its been almost 20 year your parents haven't changed your diapers, now i get why your angry<3
