I wanted to share some resources to help heal after the police brutality on the streets and at the convergence centres. Also a call to those who were there (or have had negative feelings if your were not there but stuff came up) to take good care of each other, ask for help and someone to listen.

The article refers to the G20 demonstartions that took place outside the RBS. In light of criticism that Police have had I believe this piece will give a correct account of how they behaved and how the tactic of cordoning the crowd in aggravated the situation.G20: The death of peaceful protest?

Britain's policing problem
08-04-2009 22:12
Britain was once famous for its unarmed and relatively restrained police force, but the death of a man at last week's G20 protests in London has brought into focus serious concerns with a new aggressive form of policing. Former police chief Andy Hayman today warned [1] that "If left unchecked, we have a more violent crowd in uniform than the one demonstrating."Here I give my account of the protests and the police tactics used. This article was written several days prior to the release of the video [2] showing Ian Tomlinson, the man who died at the protests, being beaten and pushed by a baton-wielding policeman shortly before his death.

The policing at the G20 protests was extremely violent and agressive. Peaceful protesters were attacked and beaten, many of them suffering injuries. We`ve all seen the videos of police laying into the climate campers who stood there with their hands in the air calmly stating "this is not a riot". And now we see film evidence that Ian Tomlinson, who was not even a protester, was brutally attacked from behind with a baton, before being shoved hard to the ground by a vicious cop.
