Rogue tea bags. Firstly I will rule out the freshly boiled water having more oxygen rule as it's more random. It grinds my gears when you are making a brew as normal, you pour your water in the the cup then bang - your tea bag no longer identifies as a tea bag, it now identifies and turns into an aircraft emergency escape slide. The ****ing thing quadruples in size. You can't now get any water in your cup coz it's now waterproof and boiling water is now going all over your work surface. To add insult it will add a bit of tanning to it as well. You may as well be in the middle of the ****ing Atlantic as water is bloody everywhere. Now you are now pissed off and to make it worse you are swearing at a tea bag.if someone comes in and tells you to take a PG moment you would want to deck them. This is the kind of stuff that makes instant coffee appealing. Bastard things
If a copper was sacked after restraining someone for riding a scooter you can 100% guarantee they didn’t just ‘restrain’ them at all. The bar to get over for being sacked for assault is high. The ones that worry about whether they’d stay under that bar aren’t the ones we need in that job.
Utter bollox!!! Never had a clip round the ear from a copper? You've obviously never been weekended in a police cell then...
It isn’t No I haven’t. Most of those who think the plod should be able to assault people & act outside of their standards usually cry loudest when it’s one of their own on the wrong side of the misconduct.
He wasn’t beaten in the cell. He had a big punch up in I think Waterfront. Was laid on the floor and neglected. Died that night. I met him once came over as a nice guy. Ex Para I think. The story got even worse when the wrong body got buried.
A bloke swearing at you and spitting in your face and resisting you must make you an absolute angel not to react - whatever standards you are supposed to accept . It’s people taking the assailants line and not supporting the police or anyone in authority that’s brought this country down . Starts with parents marching onto school because their child has been disciplined and complaining . This country is full of excusers , absolvers , perfect human beings and apologists who allow people to NOT take responsibility for their actions . I’ve spent my early life being punished for whatever and it WAS my fault so I now hold everyone to a high standard of behaviour or what used to be the norm . Once the govt saw litigation as an earner and big employer it allowed it to grow out of hand.
Yeah,we've still got an enquiry going on up here(Shekou Bayou).10 years on they've established that he was drugged out of his eyeballs,carrying a big **** off kitchen knife,knocked the **** out of a policewoman and eventually after being restrained he died... Bad bastards the coppers up here too,no wonder we can't recruit them anymore.
Died on the custody suite floor , after his arrest at HRI, oddly the pathologist noticed facial injuries that a highly trained a&e doctor 'missed'. Even more oddly all his clothes were destroyed in quick order, and the police van he was transported in had a nice clean.
It's easy to mistake a 37 year old male for a 77 year old woman, and over a period of years let numerous trainee police officers view the body in the mortuary without a single one of them picking up on the 'error'.
One of the bits I can't quite understand is why whoever actually gave him the injuries was never charged.
I don't think there was any evidence that the police beat him. They'd pulled his trousers down whilst restraining him/holding him up/dragging him and left him suffocating on the floor, whilst he had a head injury from an earlier fight. The CCTV recorded conversations between the custody sergeant and some officers where they discussed getting him medical help as there was blood coming from his mouth and he was making gasping sounds - the custody sergeant and a female officer stated that he was pretending. There was also alleged monkey noises being made by an officer as he was dying. After the inquiry ended and charges to the officers dropped, they got paid off £50-100k for stress and pensioned off. The guy who originally hit him (his mate) got charged with gbh and then charges dropped three weeks after, once the post mortem results were released. He sued the CPS and police and got compensation.
