Activist Post: Justice For Ian Tomlinson? Police Officer Manslaughter Trial Underway In London: The trial of a police officer filmed assaulting a man who died of internal injuries sustained during the attack has started in London.
The assault took place during the G20 protests in April 2009 when Ian Tomlinson, a 47-year-old newspaper seller uninvolved in the demonstrations, was attempting to make his way home through central London. Riot squad officer Simon Harwood was filmed striking Mr Tomlinson from behind with a baton, before violently shoving him in the back and sending him flying to the ground.
