Jeez, reading this I guess the reason we have police brutality is because an alarming number of people seem to have no problem with it.

Seen a policeman with big f*** off boots in town last night like those skin heads used to wear, like the ones in This is England ( :lol:). Bet he could give someone a good kicking with them bastards on.

Before we got the train to the mackem match, coppers were going round the Union Rooms filming everyone's face with shitty little handheld cameras dressed in baseball caps and some absolutely f***ing absurd boiler suit type thing that turned into MC Hammer parachute pants halfway down.  ;D

As for police brutality, I think anyone who's attended football matches over the past few decades will be aware that members of the police force are just as capable of brutality, vindictiveness, outstanding stupidity, incompetance, negligence, spite and arrogance as any other group in society - dependant on the individual and how much they think they can get away with it or otherwise.

First two coppers I can think of off the top of my head, one of them was a cracking bloke, the other was an absolute grade-A c***, a violent, bigoted, spineless w***** of a pisshead whose hobbies included knocking about a series of girlfriends and wives.  Although last I heard he'd been kicked out of the force, so maybe the system works!

Met my fair share of cvntish cops, but also met a couple of decent ones, just need to know how to deal with them. Often see them come on way to heavy handed and being general assholes for no reason on the main.

Conditioning?
"I'm a competitor and I want to play every game, every minute. The manager knows what I'm thinking. He knows I want to play. He makes his choices and I have to respect them."But it's true we don't share quite the same philosophy. For him, it's more crosses, a bit of a more direct style, whereas I'm more the kind of player who likes to play short passes.

That first video clip seemed pretty damn tame to me. I guess I have been conditioned by spending too much time in the US and Latin America.

You should see what the police used to be like over here.
“What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.” - Sir Bobby Robson

Police to be armed with stun guns.


Tasers have been fired more than 1,000 times since 2004

Up to 30,000 police officers across all forces in England and Wales are to be trained to use Taser stun guns.
Currently, only specialist firearms officers carry the weapon, which can temporarily disable a suspect.
Now the government has announced plans to buy 10,000 more Tasers and extend their use to all frontline officers.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said police needed tools to protect themselves and the public. Amnesty International is warning against using Tasers routinely.

The Home Office plans to spend £8m on 10,000 new Tasers.
'Dangerous people'

Ms Smith said: "I am proud that we have one of the few police services around the world that do not regularly carry firearms and I want to keep it that way.
"But every day the police put themselves in danger to protect us, the public.
"They deserve our support, so I want to give the police the tools they tell me they need to confront dangerous people.
"That is why I am giving the police 10,000 Tasers to ensure that officers across the country benefit from this form of defence."
 


Of course they won't be abused. Heaven forbid.  :kasper:




Northumbria Police have been carrying them for months as they carried out the pilot.
"What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It's not the television contracts, get out clauses or the marketing departments or executive boxes. It's the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city''

Sir Bobby Robson, 1933-2009

"Following Newcastle is a birthright, a religion, a warm-up before the knees-up of a night out. On the Geordie check-list of must-do activities, watching the Toon ranks alongside breathing."

what about the rest ?

just tough s*** eh ?
Bullshitters misrepresent themselves to their audience not as liars do, that is, by deliberately making false claims about what is true. In fact, bullshit need not be untrue at all.

Rather, bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true. They quietly change the rules governing their end of the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant.

Precisely, Declan. People over here haven't got a f***ing scooby what Police brutality is like.

Any anyway, it's not police brutality that's the biggest threat to personal freedom anyway, Parky.

It's Police incompetence and malfeasance that are the real dangers, tbh.

Believe me, I should know. :hmm:

For failing to prosecute someone who should have been prosecuted, and making a complete arse of prosecuting someone else for a more serious offence than they actually had evidence for. I'm not going into this any further, tbh - I was merely stating thatm for personal reasons and from personal experience, I think the bigger danger is Police malpractice and prejudicial execution of their responsibilities.

Tend to disagree.

Think the bigger problem is that three thugs can beat somebody to death over an Xbox and probably be on the streets before they're thirty. Soft tarts running the judicial system are putting everybody at risk.

i've been on the recieving end of police threats and an arm lock for doing nothing except tell them they have no right to ask me anything or search my stuff without due suspicion. they,in general, like to stress their authority even when they don't have it.
