Ian Tomlinson the 47 year old Englishman who died when on his way home from work as a newspaper vendor in the midst of the 2009 G-20 summit protests, has been found by an inquest jury to have been unlawfully killed by excessive and unreasonable force by a police officer PC Simon Harwood. A first postmortem indicated he had died from a heart attack; however a video of the incident showed Tomlinson walking with his hands in his pockets being stuck from behind by the police officer wielding a baton, then pushed to the ground without provocation. A second post mortem revealed he had died from internal bleeding caused by blunt force trauma to the abdomen. The incident had created intense debate in the UK leading to a deterioration of respect for police by the general public.
