Today the verdict was delivered in the inquest into the death of Ian Tomlinson during the G20 protests in London on 1 April 2009. The verdict of the inquest was that Ian Tomlinson was unlawfully killed. The jury decided that Police Constable Simon Harwood used "excessive and unreasonable" force. The Crown Prosecution Service will now conduct a thorough review into whether PC Harwood should now be prosecuted and the Metrapolitan Police have advised that PC Harwood will also be subject to misconduct proceedings.

But telling protesters a bare-faced lie isn't quite on the same level as killing someone, I suppose.
