Wrong time, wrong place? Well then you'd just better stay at home and not feel the need to protest about anything....
Glass skull? Well then, falling roof slate or officer of the law, it was bound to happen sooner or later....
In fact, if it wasn't for these bloody "doo-gooders", [english language failure], the police would be free to arrest, beat up (they must have been asking for it), and incarcerate anyone who doesn't abide by immediate government policy.
I'm surprised that an anarchist managed to shove that bin through the window of the RBS... through the the throng of papperazzi!! How stupid must you be to meet out a bit of 'life on mars' justice to the great unwashed without realising you'd be all over youtube the next day? Not stupid I think... more arrogant. No wander the policeforce don't command the respect they used to.

I did my protesting many many years ago and not once got in any trouble.
As for the "thin skull rule" it doesn't just apply to the skull. It basically means that you have to take your "victim" as you find them - thin skull, pre-existing heart condition etc.
I ask myself why the paparazzi are there in the first place - are they part of the catalyst for such behaviour??
Maybe we should put ourselves in the shoes of the Officer concerned - see how well the sphincters would hold in that kind of situation before we judge
All things considered, it's not as bad as some countries!! Maybe some people should move to the likes of South Africa, Zimbabwe or even America for a while - I think they'd soon appreciate our Police!!
I think there should be a list of names and addresses for the likes of those who stone Fire Engines and Ambulances or spew hatred towards the Police whereby if they ever call upon any of those services, they are told in no uncertain terms to get on with it!! Oh but wait, that won't happen because they don't care that you hate them or attack them, they help you anyway!! Shame!!
There is good and bad in every walk of life, but once again, we don't say "oooh all school caretakers are evil" just because of Ian Huntley do we?? So why should it be the same for the Police? Easy target
Sometimes Police Officers give more than just speeding tickets!
It�s hard to be fit as a fiddle when you�re shaped like a cello!
Not exactly easy targets are they? Those pictures speak for themselves yet there's no shortage of people round this website who'd rather blame that bloke who had a heart attack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or having a 'glass skull'.
I think police are as human as the next person... apart from most people don't want to be in the police.
They're just normal people... not saints, not infallable. Police are very well paid professionals and there's no place for bad decisions and hot headedness... save that for the vigilantes.
I for one could not jump to conclusions based on a few seconds of film footage whether that mans heart attack was brought on by being pushed etc by a policeman. Of cause there are plenty who will because it suits their political views. Thankfully any inquiry will be based on a longer time scale up to his death and not a knee jerk reaction. Its unfortunate it provokes tunnel vision amongst some commentators and provides an opportunity to do some verbal police bashing.

I did have an epic and erudite reply typed out but the laptop decided to reboot itself and so it all went *poof* before I could submit
I will however just clarify that the "thin skull" rule is not used to blame the "victim".

What ever the outcome of this inquiry is fine by me, but why do i get the feeling that this cop is going to pay the price for someone getting 7 or 8 bullets in the head recently.

A third Post Mortem has been carried out and other details released regarding the man who died. It is looking likely that the charge against the man who pushed him will be manslaughter.
