chrisp65 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 The thing is, you guys might not like it, but I want the police to be strong enough to robustly defend flags and statues. We have to decide what’s important here, and it ain’t people or democracy. If people don’t have the money for a nice quiet life in a nice quiet place, **** ‘em, they can go get a better job in a better place and become respectable. And the nice thing is, you only need about 40% of voters to think like that, and this is what you get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the country being this far split before in my lifetime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how they lose broader support amongst the masses, along with the beatings and killings and corruption. Police are their own worst enemy.

Davkaus Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I wonder what imaginary injuries the police suffered to justify this (around 20 seconds in). A sore wrist from pummelling protesters, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted March 27, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 27, 2021 It’ll never be officially acknowledged, but just about universally all nations want their riot/crowd control police to have a reputation for over the top violence, for brutality, heavy handed-ness and so on. The authorities want people to be scared of riot police beating the crap out of them. It’s a tool, part of the toolkit for controlling people who do things the authorities don’t want them doing. it’s almost like rule number 1 of riot /crowd control policing is “leave a good few with bruises and broken bones”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He works for the Daily Mirror, it can't be hard, unless of course his solicitors have advised him against speaking to the police whilst he prepares his legal case against them That tweet really does sound sinister. What they should be doing is identifying the policeman and sacking him for gross misconduct and charging him with a bodily harm offence 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bickster Posted March 30, 2021 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2021 In a completely and utterly different tack to this topic, unrelated to anything posted before. Two tales from today (1) - On 21st March I reported an email we recieved at work to the Police. The email read.... "Please call me, my brothers baby has been stolen, please call me on 07*********". Thats it nothing else. Reported it to the Police as is our civic duty. Thought nothing of it until just now. I get home from work and log into my emails, one from COMCEN asking me to call 101 immediately in relation to incident log XXXX, it stresses this is an urgent matter and should be dealt with as soon as it was recieved. So I do, after all the IVR bollocks I get through to someone to discover its about the report I made on the 21st. They want to know if I have any more information. So its taken them 9 days to get back to me about a baby snatch and despite me telling them in my initial report that we had no further information as the number and email used were not registered with our company, they were getting back to me to check if we had any more information. At this stage, this does not fit my definition of urgent (2) In a completely unrelated matter, I sent some data to a policeman today as the fruit of a court order. I sent it as an Excel file as is normal but I was a bit rushed so didn't fully check I'd widened every column so all the data could be read instantly, I normally would., I checked the top rows but not all the way down. I get an email back saying that the dates can't be read after the end of January as all that is there are ####. That is some low level of computer literacy there. I had to send an email back that said.... make the column wider. 1 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Well done to the police ! Quote A machete-wielding gang who attempted to rob police officerscarrying out surveillance on them have been jailed. Patrick Delaney, 30, led eight masked criminals behind a string of robberies and aggravated burglaries in well-heeled areas of north London. Victims included ex-Arsenal footballer Mesut Ozil and his teammate Sead Kolasinac who were targeted for luxury watches worth £200,000. CCTV footage captured Bosnian defender Kolasinac fighting back. Between April and July 2020, suspects forced their way into homes or confronted people in their cars demanding money or high value items in Finchley, Barnet and Hampstead they get a rough ride the police but they aint all bad. Well done on catching this scum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
