you could say i dislike agressive, violent, and racist protesters ... and then you would be right.  however, you would have no reason to say that it has clouded my judgement...the guy was in their way and the woman continued to get right up to him when he is swarmed by other people as well(you can see him pushing at other people outside the view of the camera(interesting the camera moved away from them...in all likelyhood that event was staged for the camera).  You claimed he was beaten, when he wasnt...demonstrating your separation from the reality of the incident.  i would say you might be able to argue that the officer used more force than required on the man...but since you are in your own reality, it would be pointless.

please prove that they were being violent and racist, aggressive maybe, but the response would still be extreme, but they werent violent or racist.

i really doubt it was staged, why would the women voulunteer to get beaten?

there is a video that shows him being beaten on ITN

edit: the footage is on this link - http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/video/2009/apr/08/g20-police-assault-ian-tomlinson-video
