This video is a huge thing here in the UK at the moment. It shows a newspaper seller just walking home through the riots before he is wacked in the back of the knees with a baton and then pushed to the floor by the police. The man suffered a fatal heart attack just minutes later.

It may not have been an incredibly aggressive act but any violent overreactions by the police on protestors will anger the crowd meaning that the police have to be even tougher to keep them under control, but this will just increase tension thus a potential riot.

Bloody Sunday comes to mind.

Really? I mean looking at him he's clearly not just walking home and trying to get in the polices way. Look at the video again. He swerves left and right to get in the polices way. It would of been an easy thing to stand to the side for a couple seconds when he was told to move so the bomb dogs could go by and search for bombs.

 

 

He wasn't part of the protest. He was just walking home from work. He wasn't being aggressive. He has every right to walk there.


Did you watch the video?  I mean watch it again.  Note how he makes a direct right angle turn for no reason other then to get in the cops way.

He's walking along straiht... then makes a sharp turn for little reason and the cop pushes him to try to get him out of the bomb squads way.
