[FONT="]totally agree, with your post. The distain and contempt that the policemen on this forum show is nothing short of disgraceful.[/FONT]
[FONT="]They constantly HIDE behind phrases like, "Joe Public doesn’t understand", "Joe Public haven’t got all the facts" etc etc......[/FONT]
[FONT="]I DON’T NEED to be a BARRISTER to know an ASSAULT when I see one!![/FONT]
[FONT="]And just for the record, A POLICE OFFICER is a LONG LONG LONG way from being a Solicitor or a Barrister!!!!! (No formal qualifications needed tell its own story I feel!!!!)[/FONT]
[FONT="]Jumped up little Hitlers, who think that once they get their warrant cards, they can do as they please.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Once again a story breaks of Police Brutality, and once again the police are looking very unprofessional!!!![/FONT]
- [FONT="]Assaulting a man with his hands in his pockets.[/FONT]
- [FONT="]Baton striking a man from behind (smells of a cowardly action to me)[/FONT]
- [FONT="]Officer has decided to not wear his number. (pre-meditated to me)[/FONT]
- [FONT="]Officers initially claim they had NO CONTACT with the man. (soon changed their story when the tape showed up)[/FONT]
- [FONT="]Officer fails to ID himself for 1 week!!!. (am sure that the police would judge this as a sign of guilt if a suspect in one of their cases did this !!)[/FONT]
- [FONT="]Am sure there is more stuff, but this is enough for me to start questioning the people who SERVE ME.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Oh and let’s not forget that a SENIOR POLICE OFFICER, on seeing the tape and incident, pretty much questions the OFFICERS actions!!!!!!![/FONT]
[FONT="]Oh and let’s not forget that this innocent OFFICER has been SUSPENDED!!!![/FONT]
[FONT="](I’m sure that the police do this lightly!!)[/FONT]
[FONT="]I AM NOT ANTI POLICE; I have supported police officers previously and have no fewer than 10 close friends who are coppers, one being a Chief Super!![/FONT]
[FONT="]I AM ANTI anyone who is violent, abuses their powers etc etc. If that makes me a bad person then I can live with that.[/FONT]
[FONT="]If as a Police Officer you go around thinking everyone outside the job is potentially a criminal, and that then gives you the right to administer some instant justice, then I’m afraid it’s YOU, who has a serious problem.[/FONT]
[FONT="]And I am seriously worried that there is so many members of the Police Force, who think this OFFICERS action, were ok.[/FONT]
