Did the Met Police use Agent Provocateurs/ Police Agitators during the G20 Meltdown festival? While this may seem far-fetched to the casual observer, it is a commonly-used technique for "protest management" by riot police across the world. It provides the justification for heavy-handed retaliation by the police and media over-reaction. More importantly, those now charged with breaking and entering the RBS bank on 1st April are the innocent dupes of a morally corrupt police operation; a case of entrapment.

With all thats gone on in the media, Lord West speaks out in favour of the police tactics used on the G20 protests earlier this month.

Photos of yesterdays Demonstration outside Scotland yard London. Protesters denounced the police tactics of forcibly corralling people known as kettling, police assaults on demonstrators and home raids on participants.

While peaceful protesters were demonstrating in London during the g20 protests, a police line of riot cops complete with shields batons and masks swarm a group of people sitting on the ground. We then see what appears to be a Police Officer strike a man in the head with his baton before arresting him.

Reflections on the police raids of Rampart and the Convergence Centre during the G20 and the criminalisation of dissent. 

On the Thursday following the G20 protests, two squatted social centres in East London were raided by riot police, apparently looking for instigators of the attacks on the Royal Bank of Scotland. Click at the ´More´ link above for the full text.

Memorial march for Ian Tomlinson

The police passed a new law that says that any person taking photographs of a police officer may be considered illegal and can face fines or imprisonment up to 10 years.

Some photos from the demo at Bank on Saturday 4 April against police brutality in the wake of the G20 policing and the death of Ian Tomlinson. Not to be confused with the somewhat larger demo this Saturday.

People Assembled at Bethnal Green Police Station in London and marched to the Bank of England. Flowers and candles were placed on the spot where Ian Tomlinson died last week on the G20 demo.

Around four hundred people marched today from Bethnal Green Police station to Cornhill, where Ian Tomlinson died after being subjected to police violence at the G20 protests on the 1st of April.

According to the Metropolitan Police website, "If you are unhappy about the service that you've had, we would like to hear from you."

Exclusive footage obtained by the Guardian shows Ian Tomlinson, who died during G20 protests in London, was attacked from behind by baton–wielding police officer

4) G20 DEFENDANTS MEETING, TUESDAY

Countless accounts of police brutality have surfaced around the protests on April 1st and 2nd, be it the detention of protesters at Bank for hours [1|2], the vicious attack on the peaceful Climate Camp [report|video], including children, or the raids on the Convergence Center [1|2|3] and RampARTs [1|2]. Not to mention the police aggression at an event to commemorate the death of Ian Tomlinson and demand an independent inquiry [1|2].

Now new eyewitness statements corroborate the indications that policing of the protests is, at least in part, responsible for the death of a bystander. The Guardian relased a video on Tuesday, showing Tomlinson being pushed to the ground by a police officer. On the same day another march was held in the face of police brutality and to demand an inquiry into Ian Tomlinson's death, with the announcement that the police policy of containment would be taken to European Human Rights Courts and an online petition can now be signed.

The following statement regarding the death of Ian Tomlinson at the G20 protests was read out by the group working on the G20 witness appeal at a demonstration earlier today.
