Saturday 23 May 2009: The United Campaign Against Police Violence marched from Trafalgar Square to New Scotland Yard (NSY). The campaign, initiated after the scenes around London's financial district during the G20 protests and the death of newspaper seller Ian Tomlinson, who was struck down by a Met TSG riot officer.
The protest surrounded London's central police station, read out the names of those who died in police custody and released black balloons to comemorate the dead. The family of Sean Rigg attended and spoke at the rally outside NSY.

very very moving. Simple.
Good to not see the police beating anyone, but on a death at hands of police demo, even they must see the senselessness in that. Don't they?
What selfishness allows one to hurt & maim under the cheap facade of a few milimetres of uniform - do they think we don't see past the colours to the real face inside?
When minds are so lacking in respect, in love, it must be very hard for them to understand that at some point we can no longer respect them either. As such, they undermine absolutely their entire unit & force.
Thoughts go out to all whose family members passed on at the hands of such abominable people.-
