thanks to Sinmara for posting this chilling video of the last views of the man who died at the G20 demo.... it seems he was beaten by the police shortly before he died!
He was not even demonstrating... he was trying to get home from work.

i simply do not know what to say about this.

Current Mood:

shocked

The cops doing this is common currency. I've had stuff like this happen to me on demos, and no I ain't no hard line anarcho. (Their, SO hard, only 250 of them in riot gear with machine guns, lets slap a bloke from behind)

They can do and do do this because they know they will get away with it, they can shoot an innocent man dead in broad daylight and get away with it. At the end of the day they are licenced state thugs, they know this and act accordingly.

It's a terrible thing that yet another innocent man had to die to get this story on the news.

as I mentioned to a friend earlier - This (and De Menezes) is what happens when a media panic occurs against the general public...
