... might be partly my fault ... been winding him on the Mike Ashley appreciation thread for the last couple of hours
I think the one aspect of that video that would concern me, if I was on the Jury (and i've been on a few), is I'm sure, without looking back, that the victim, went quiet, that should have rang alarm bells straight away to all four coppers! If anyone can stomach watching it again, I'd be interested to know how many minutes and seconds he went quiet for, before they attempted to move him to the stretcher. Because it would be a good indicator, to how long the victim and been unconscious if not already dead.
... am I alone in thinking that if a cop was doing that to a dog the bystanders would have raised way more of a ruckus at the scene? I can't watch it again ... it both makes my blood boil and brings tears to my eyes ... saw footage of his 6 year old daughter today ... at the end of the day he was a man, just a man, flawed, as we all are to some degree ... but that was an execution and a public one ... Chauvin should never be released into human society again because he has no humanity.
My guess would have been up to 3 mins as well, and for me, that's damning enough to drag the other three fookers down with the main culprit.
There is only one way out for him, and that's topping himself. I can't believe there will be a Jury in the land that would find anything but guilty.
Pressure is mounting on Boris Johnson to suspend the export of British arms and riot gear to the United States after opposition parties backed a call from human rights groups to intervene. Government records show the UK grants export licences worth millions of pounds for the sale of tear gas, riot shields, so-called “rubber bullets” and other small arms to the US. The UK government's own rules say such exports should not go ahead where they are likely to be used for “internal repression”. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...KHRvHieRESYMf9lPt2liDsfAI25LgQeMvIJODW__K6DqA
Course it's kicking off here, as I said it would last night. Ridiculous behaviour once again from our lot.
That's what happens, when cops normalise certain behaviour. It was clear looking at that video it is cemented within the force they serve. This isn't about training but something a lot deeper than that. I'd be wanting to look at that whole police force, not just those four coppers, it's clearly rotten to the core.
