I think it's fair to say Mr Tomlinson DID have contact with police before he died!

Man who died at the G20 police (the man the IPCC initially said the police had had no "contact" with) seen here in a video getting some rather full contact in the back from a policeman. Courtesy of The Guardian.

Heard the man's son on the radio today saying his father wasn't involved in the protest, was just in the area.

UPDATE: I've heard other people saying "but why would he even be there if he wasn't causing trouble? Look, he just looks a bit shifty, why was he not running from the police, why?", so I guess you will make up your own mind. I can embed this video now:



Let's watch out for each other! If you find me mysteriously beaten to death covered in riot shield shaped bruises, don't let me be forgotten. At least twitter about it.

I had a teacher called Mr Tomlinson. This was not him.
