I don't want to see Police brutality for the sake of it, at home or abroad. You only have to see the ongoing injuries being inflicted on the citizens of Minsk to see what a Police state answerable to no one looks like. They should be there to keep law and order and to and prevent crime/solve criminal activity.
The Police officer who knelt on the neck of George Floyd for 8 minutes when he was clearly struggling to breathe and posing no possible threat to him will hopefully get the guilty verdict he so richly deserves, and a suitable prison sentence of many decades for what was essentially murder.
Not quite as extreme and worrying as Jiffies story about the drug fuelled skinny guy and the Police dog, but I sometimes watch programmes such as Police Interceptors and similar, and the sheer amount of abuse and provocation the Police have to face from oiks (for want of a better term) who want to joyride in other peoples cars, often while under the influence of drink, drugs or both, often without insurance, and basically who are never likely to provide any form of useful contribution to society, yet put other peoples lives at serious risk deserve everything they get in front of the camera or otherwise.
As a compromise I'd suggest deporting them to Syria, Afghanistan, Iran or countries that are emptying rapidly due to the mass migration of their own citizens. Plenty of room there for people with nothing else better to do.
And while we're on the subject, it's about time the French started doing 100% more to stop people leaving northern France for the UK as migrants.
We don't want them, and with our unemployment about to go into the millions they should be turned away to stop Social Services being put under even more pressure. The French have the capability to keep them away from Normandy but chose not to.
There were 30,000 police officers assaulted in the UK last year, in the past few days 2 officers were attacked in Ilfracombe bitten, punched and kicked and a police woman in Manchester suffered a nasty bite from some sub human.
The problem is our injustice system is infected with far too many liberal judges, gone are the days where any assault on police meant jail time, now even serious assaults on police do not end in jail time.
The trial of the vile scum for killing of PC Harper beggared belief, these 3 laughed and joked throughout the proceedings, whilst their families intimidated witnesses and jurors alike and to make matters worse were then given a pathetic sentence by another useless judge. I cannot imagine the pain and horror of the barbaric way that he died.
I am old enough to remember the killing of 3 young unarmed police officers in London at the hands of Harry Roberts 54 years ago this month, if ever life should have meant life that was Harry Roberts, but no he was released in 2014 and now is afforded celebrity status even signing autographs.
And sadly since the lockdown has been eased and morons party and march, assaults on police have sky rocketed but sentencing remains weak.
But worst of all people who like to complain about everything and nothing, still do not offer any solutions whatsoever, other than to take away the few tools that the police use, like tasers and spithoods.
One last thing on the subject of George Floyd, I am no expert but I would be willing to wager given the amount of drugs in his system, had he been tasered there is a very high probability that he would still have died from that and also I would wait for the full body cam footage to be released in court to decide whether he was compliant or not and that is the problem, how to subdue somebody who does not want to be subdued for whatever reason.
