“He has just admitted on TV that a copper assaulted our dad. But he hasn’t done anything. He’s the man in charge … why hasn’t he charged him?”
Paul King, Ian Tomlinson’s stepson
Dear,
Yesterday, we heard that the policeman caught on film attacking Ian Tomlinson last year won’t face criminal charges.
We can’t let Ian Tomlinson’s death fade into history. It sends a dangerous message that the police can get away with committing serious crimes, even if they’re caught on film. We need to speak up in support of continuing the fight for justice.

“Justice has not been done. We stand behind Ian Tomlinson’s family and all those continuing the fight for justice”
Ian Tomlinson died after being attacked by a policeman. He was just walking home from work. At first, the police said they had nothing to do with his death. They claimed protestors had got in the way of giving him medical help. The Guardian then published a video telling a different story. It clearly showed a policeman attacking Ian with a baton.
It’s hard to see how it benefits anyone for the policeman guilty of this assault not to face charges. For Ian Tomlinson’s family, it’s a big blow. For the police, it’s an even bigger stain on their reputation. We need to keep up the pressure for justice to be done, and support all those campaigning to stop this happening again.
Ian’s family and their solicitors now have hard decisions to make about their next move. Whilst they get their heads round the shock and decide what to do next, let’s send them a powerful message that we stand behind their fight for justice.
