I took these pictures on April 1st last year at the G20 unrest in London.
A line of British Transport Police (BTP) attempted to stop protesters from reaching the RBS bank in Threadneddle street - very close to where the innocent Ian Tomlinson died.
Firstly why was there BTP officers protecting the bank from a large crowd of people? It should of been riot officers pushing back demonstrators with shields as apposed to beating people senseless with batons. The majority of officers on that frontline reacted out of fear. They hit anyone that got in their way. Journalists where hit who were pushed forward by the large crowd. I saw women get hit across the face. I got hit in the knee and could hardly walk for two weeks.
Anyone ballsy enough to attempt to push through the line themselves got dangerously and brutally beaten like this man in the following picture. It is amazing that their was only one death at the G20 protests and disheartening that out of the 300 complaints none of them where dealt with.

The police dont care, they are barely human anymore, they work for the government, not the good of the people, if they did then they would have been stood on the side of the people at these protest. Alas that was not the case and the police proceeded to beat innocent people and murder one too! they do not deserve our respect, they are pathetic minions of the government with no minds or thoughts of their own!
