Elano:
i totally agree with what u said virtuoso,this is a fuckin sad and depressive situation
virtuoso:
Hopefully something good can come of this, namely the officers will get theirs (prosecuted) and this will serve as a reminder that people are going to catch and expose the police when it's the police behave in a lawless manner.

You can hear them screaming at him to move and he's still walking around like he owns the street. All he had to do was just step to the side and let the police past and nothing would of happened. But he's acting like he doesn't see them and doesn't fell the police dogs right on his heels. His "I don't give a fuck" attitude is the reason why he was pushed into the concrete, before he was knocked over the police gave him three soft nudges and asked him to move and he ignored them so they gave him a hard one to "wake" him up. Besides, common sense would tell most people not to step in front of police with attack dogs and full riot gear on. 8)

Do the cops own the street? The guy wasn't even a part of the protest, he was walking home. He wasn't threatening them, wasn't acting violently. He was walking down the street w/ his hands in his pocket minding his own business. Defending the cop here is insane.

No they don't but they do have right of way. It's like when your driving a car and an abulance comes up behind you, your supposed to move out of the way so that they can do their job. Watch the very beginning of the video before the hard shove, the cops gave the guy three slight shoulder nudges and asked him to get out of the way and he refused to move and that's why he go shoved. He should of gotten out of the way, just because the guy died doesn't mean that the guy was right to act the way he did.
Just look at the situation from this perspective....
If your grandma or mom was being attacked on the street and you called police for assitance and you saw some idiot blocking them from saving your family member you wouldn't want them to just walk behind the guy until he felt like moving. You would want them to do exactly what they did in the video to get to your family member and rescue them.
Sure the guy had a "right" to be on the street but some battles are better left unfought. He should of used some common courtesy and common sense and got his ass out the way.
you gon always be my latin queen bitch:
like i said before, and then when the shoot outs happen
for example oakland where they get shot, its bad but when it happens to us, nah were at fault

Mr Tomlinson's family said that he was not part of the protest and was simply making his way home from work past the Bank of England where police were "corralling" protesters.
