Ian Tomlinson Death / Killed | Ian Tomlinson Killed – Newspaper Vendor Struck By Police In London
Ian Tomlinson Death / Killed – According to a press statement on June 17, 2020, a 47 year old newspaper vendor identified as Ian Tomlinson was killed after being struck by a police officer during a protest in London.
Ian Tomlinson died after he collapsed after he was struck by a police officer during the 2009 G-20 summit protests. The unidentified police officer was prosecuted for manslaughter after which he was dismissed from his duty as an officer.
I thought that following the death of Ian Tomlinson in 2009, the Met announced they would no longer use kettling as a means of crowd control? What happened to change that? @metpoliceuk ?

Absolutely agree. I’m genuinely shocked kettling is still being used. Why did you say you would not use kettling again following the death of Ian Tomlinson in 2009, but are breaking that promise, @metpoliceuk?

Article continues “Sir Keir was also involved in the case relating to the death of newspaper vendor Ian Tomlinson in 2009 London riots”.
Seems disingenuous. I read it as suggesting he was involved in the death itself. Need to clarify what “the case” was and what his role was.
