Protestor Dead (Michael Greenwell)

Michael Greewell -- World News Trust

April 2, 2009 -- A protestor has died at the G20 protests in London.

I have been keeping a close watch on BBC and Indymedia to see how it is being reported.

I have little hope of finding out what actually happened -- especially from the BBC who, along with most other major broadcasters, absolutely revel in being as biased as possible on these occasions.

As it goes, the BBC first reported that:

"One man collapsed and died at the protest, police said, and at least 87 arrests were made.”

This was later changed to:

"... the circumstances behind the death of a man who was involved in the protests has been referred to The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).

Police said the man, thought to be in his 40s, died on Wednesday evening after bottles were thrown at him and he collapsed."

Furthermore…

"Scotland Yard said he was found unconscious near the Bank of England on Wednesday evening and the London Ambulance Service took him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

IPCC investigators will examine CCTV footage and attend the post-mortem examination."

They don’t seem to be interested in asking why some people saw fit to report it to Independent Police Complaints Commission. It must be official ‘non-information’ in the double-plus ungood category.

Someone on Indymedia said:

“The circumstances are currently unclear, but he died inside a police cordon (or kettle) where police had crushed and baton charged protesters.”

The police may be telling the truth or they may not be. But don’t hold great hopes for the ‘Independent’ police complaints commission report. Remember Jean Charles De Menezes?

Here is how this is all probably going to go:

1. Wow, I just heard that he suffered from an heart attack. There were also diabetics who were

blocked-off (not allowed to pass) by the police. On Anderson Coopers excuse for a news show, one of the cronies said that the police detain people to help convince only the ones who "have nothing better to do" to NOT return the next day, lest they be detained for hours if they are caught in a certain area.

Amazingly, Anderson Cooper's News crew was the ONE EXCEPTION to the Police Rule above. Not even members of the UK's Parliament who asked for passage were allowed through ... But CNN's "esteemed" PROPAGANDA clutch was elevated to royalty. :puke:

2. p.s. The author's ending statements were the most elucidating for me:

This is a very short article and I just want to make one small point and ask one simple question. The small point is that yes, there are lunatics out there, but in any form of sane society the worst, greediest, most egotistical and bloodthirsty ones are not the ones controlling it from inside the most beautiful buildings.

The second is that if they are ‘our’ representatives truly fighting to work for the interests of the people of the world, why do they need so much protection from the very people they claim to represent?

IMO, well put Michael Greenwell and thank-you. :thumbsup:

5. I am going to check into it, they have blacklisted me as a spammer?!?

I feel like I just got singled out for the wand at the airport. Thanks for looking into it for me, Tace.

Edit: Figured it out -- I have a dynamically assigned ip address, which was formerly used as a mailserver for spam. Thanks again Tace!
