Man found dead after G20 protests
G20: Police Vow To Track Down Troublemakers After Clashes In City Of London | UK News | Sky News
Should make an interesting story as it develops.
Appears the police who crossed the protest line with medics to treat the guy were set upon by the crowd with bottles being thrown at them.
Good old peaceful protesters etc.
Possible that he may have been struck by police during earlier clashes, but im sure the whole thing will turn into a PR nightmare, and 100% the police's fault.

Always easier to blame the authority, especially the ones who dared to do what they are trained to do. If it takes baton charging to restore the law and order that was promised by the "protesters", then there is only one group of people with themselves to blame for getting hit.
I genuinly feel for the person who has died and their family. Sods law says it was someone caught up in the arsehole anarchist action.
Let's hope the story is reported fairly.
For anyine who is even dreaming of saying the police were heavy handed. Stand somewhere like that in a uniform for half an hour, confronted by a group of spineless masked people, who's only aim of the day is to cause harm and damage, and see how safe you feel while trying to do your job.
