The fact that this man was assaulted and then blown off by 18 police officers like nothing happened at all, should be an indication of the type of other injustice that went on during G20. If the state controlled media will not tell the truth, then eventually the police will need to murder many more to make it all go away. Fear is the best way to control the masses. As long as there are well armed and armorred death squads it is possible to bend the news into whatever you want. Google search MICHAEL BUZZ ARNOLD

May I suggest a 14 month enquiry?
Then an enquiry to see whether the original enquiry was just and fair.
And then a review (supervised by the PMs office).

You noticed that too, eh?

Tomlinson bleed into his chest cavity, and not into the street where the police could see it and call for help.

He probably did it on purpose to try and get some poor, honest, hard working copper into trouble.

Hmmm, surely we need midnight raids and mass arrests?

Lest we forget, there were at least eighteen police officers in the immediate vicinity of the assault on Mr Tomlinson.

In all the hubbub and hysteria, let us not forget that Mr Tomlinson was wearing plain clothes, and furthermore was deliberately antagonising police by defiantly bleeding into his chest cavity. I would say he got off lightly.

You pinko lefty law-and-order hating Liberal Nu Labor types can bash our wonderful police as much as you like but clearly Tomlinson was asking for it. Whilst decent law-abiding people were at home tutting over the impartially-presented images on Sky News, he was out DRINKING and WALKING THE STREETS like some kind of terrorist. I love my country and I remember the glory days of Margaret Thatcher when true freedom reigned and these people were kept in their place – The North. Thank God for the Met and their trusty batons of unregulated random justice!
