What did he expect? Let that be a lesson to the rest of the protestors. I have viewed the video several times, it is obvious Mr Tomlinson was clearly stepping on the cracks of the pavement.

Having been one for so many years must have brainwashed him. Sorry to be spouting "the usual ill-informed, anti-police brickbats" but it's not ill-informed, the police are in a position of power which they can and do abuse and although they are not above the law they are certainly higher than the rest of us.

The clearance of a climate camp along Bishopsgate by riot police with batons and dogs after nightfall on Wednesday came in for particular criticism." Guardian. Can you just imagine being in a situation where you were being hunted by the police chased by dogs pummelled with batons? What drives men and women to do this especially when none of them wanted to be there....? Is it their own form of mob mentality, us or them? Is it the same as the Nazis who rounded up Jews for execution even though they had been their friends and neighbours? If you start rationalising acts of violence and terror as "just doing my job" then you are no better than those Nazis. It is yours, mine, everyone's job to question the actions we decide to take. Because it is our actions not sentiment or orders by which we will be remembered. We must question what is necessary and what is habit; what is right and what is wrong. “The police tactics during the G20 protests were condemned in the aftermath of the demonstrations.
