NOT ON SALE AT YOUR LOCAL SUPERMARKET. 3:23 am / 06 August 2010 by ann arky, at annarky's blog.

          Ian Tomlinson is just one of a long line of victims of police brutality. To date no serving police officer has ever been successfully charged with killing someone.

 Ian Tomlinson’s son Paul King

Not that they were ever charged of course. Will Ian Tomlinson’s family face the same wait for justice? The Sauce names names: Inspector Alan Murray was [...]

Police Are A Bunch Of Lying Scum Bags – SHOCK!! 4:49 am / 09 April 2009 by welshboi, at glasgowanarchists.wordpress.com

After having claimed, after a rushed post mortem, that Ian Tomlinson, who died at the 20 protests in London, died due to natural causes we now see that he was clearly assaulted by the met. Who would have thought that the police would ever seek to cover up their crimes? [...]
