She was standing in a public place
why should she have "backed off"
(Bazongaloid, Thu 1 Apr 2010, 13:03, 1 reply, 16 years ago)

Because she was part of an aggressive crowd baiting the police
who most of the time do an excellent job and don't deserve the abuse that they get.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 1 Apr 2010, 13:07, Reply)

Most don't deserve it
But then there are pricks like Smellie who seem to think that joining te force gives them the right to assault people.
There's one here who likes to head-butt buskers.
Or the ones who BIT somebody on the back in the police van because he was being a drunken arsehole in a restaurant.

The TSG are the single most complained about section of the police
they are known colloquially by other sections as the Thick and Stupid Group. They get away with absolutely anything in the name of "public order". I don't understand how anyone can watch the footage of the protests in London and not think that the police over-reacted.

Don't forget that the reason they were there is because an officer was filmed assaulting a member of the public in a way which directly lead to his death, known commonly as "Manslaughter", and yet no-one has been brought to book for it.

The problem with this whole situation is that the police are a law unto themselves and can operate in any way they choose with almost complete impunity, and this case is just another example of that.

Though I do believe that the police do go over the top,
The protesters have to understand that fucking the police off is a very risky venture.

Would you prod a tiger with a stick then complain when it bit your arm off?

So you're comparing the police to a wild animal?
That's hardly reasonable is it? The police are meant to be well trained and disciplined aren't they?
(Bazongaloid, Thu 1 Apr 2010, 13:16, Reply)

Well they're not
So we'll all just have to treat them accordingly, and DON'T FUCKING PISS THEM OFF!!

Why disturb the daily routine eh?

I'm keeping his plums in a jar when he goes
If he returns without the lil' lady's chest apples burnt onto his retinas, he can have them back.
If not, I have new earrings.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 1 Apr 2010, 13:39, Reply)

Do I get a say in this?
What if I don't want my plums in a jar? What if I'm pinned down by burly, moustached men (al's "friends") and forced to look?

That wouldn't be his fault at all
If we made him look then you can't be mean to him.

he won't like that and overall he won't have had a good time.

I was only kidding, we're not really gonna look at boobies, even if we wanted to we'd have to give away Southern Comfort, and that's just not going to happen is it, have you ever heard of a scot giving away booze?

I am comparing them as such
I don't wish to, but their actions, some mentioned above, show that a degree of unpredictableness is present. Hence the wild animal link.

As for being well trained, they are. Discipline is another matter. A well disciplied force will behave as ordered, and it is a measure of a unit's discipline as to how much force can be applied to it before elements break down. I would say that the discipline of the police is less than, for example, a line of troops ordered to stand firm, though being slaugthered by enemy gunfire, and standing firm.

In that case, an appropriate analogy is thus:
I leave my car unlocked while in the Toxteth area of Liverpool, unsurprisingly Roota breaks in, steals my radio, hotwires the car and crashes it into a wall, then burns it.

I should have expected it and locked my car, therefore I am a silly sausage, but that doesn't make what Roota did any less of a crime and I am still a victim of a crime.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 1 Apr 2010, 13:30, Reply)

I also did Mrs Al on the backseat with her own dildo
She enjoyed it and I returned said dildo, so this was NOT a crime but a compassionate act.
Cancels out the little bit of theft, no?

Except she would have stolen the wheels too.
