Flashback: RIP Ian Thomlinson: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Ian_Tomlinson) Beaten to death by London cops:
Ian Tomlinson (7 February 1962 – 1 April 2009) was an English newspaper vendor who collapsed and died in the City of London on his way home from work during the 2009 G-20 summit protests. An inquest jury found in May 2011 that he had been unlawfully killed. Simon Harwood, a constable with the Territorial Support Group of London's Metropolitan Police Service, was charged that month with manslaughter and was found not guilty on 19 July 2012 at Southwark Crown Court.
The first postmortem examination, conducted two days after the death, concluded that Tomlinson had died of natural causes after suffering a heart attack. His death became controversial four days later when The Guardian published video footage from an American investment manager who had been visiting London. The video showed Tomlinson being struck on the leg from behind by a police officer wielding a baton, then pushed to the ground by the same officer. The footage shows no provocation on Tomlinson's part—he was not a protester, and at the time he was struck was walking along with his hands in his pockets. He walked away after the incident, but collapsed and died minutes later.

I am sure Zippyjuan will be along any minute to justify the militarized thugs.
