Certainly more to gain than placing in cuffs an 18-year old lying on the ground posing no threat.

Which is exactly what my post refers to in the second paragraph

Are there are any Sikh judges?

No its not.

 

Looking at the video the male Cop is more bothered about getting cuffs on the poor lad and asking if the killer is okay and got any injuries rather than the other way around.

 

Awful policing...no doubt "lessons will be learnt" statement from the constabulary involved...

I don't think it's "awful policing". It wasn't great, but the police in general have become so fearful of being accused of racism that they err on the side of caution and default to protecting themselves from any accusation in that regard.

Imagine  being told you’re crazy by Donald Trump….

 

 

President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu got into a heated phone call on Monday, two people familiar with the conversation told Axios.

Axios reported that Trump pressed Netanyahu to scale back plans for military escalations in Lebanon and used expletives to convey his disapproval of the planned offensive.

“You’re f-----g crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your --s. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this,” Trump told Netanyahu, Axios reported.

Trump expressed concern that Israel bombing Hezbollah could interfere with U.S. efforts to broker an agreement with Iran.

If this is verbatim, I'm a little surprised. Perhaps a little self-preservation and fear does exist beneath all those layers of orange.

Oh im incredibly sure. If I meant I wanted him to have his head kicked in I’d have just said that lol.
 

As I originally stated I hope the bloke is shitting himself as he realises what he has done. 

 

 

I'm hoping he doesn't get hung out to dry, gets the right support around him and can train to be a better officer or person going forward. 

 

Being in the police is tough enough as it is in this current climate. Probably doesn't need the public pile on on top of the struggle he's probably already facing after what's come to light.

What are you on about? The bloke went to work, was sent to a situation that most normal people wouldn't ever experience in their life and made a poor initial decision which took him down a path of making a series of linked poor decisions for about 60 seconds.

 

Investigate that process, sure.  Deal with it through the disciplinary process, sure.  Lose his career, maybe.  But have armchair internet commentators hope that he lives in fear of violence? Come on!

 

[Lionator]

Anyone comparing this to the George Floyd case is either racist, stupid or a grifter, probably all three. You need just a slight inkling and understanding of history to know why (imperialism, slavery, racism). This case has absolutely nothing to do with this within that context. Fine be angry with the police, fine feel some injustice and sympathy for the victim and family but otherwise to be honest it’s so bad. 

[Raj]

The Cops who messed up dont deserve death threats and any of that bo11ox.

That's out of order.

They messed up in a difficult  situation, one has resigned let's see what the investigations and IPC say but let's not hound them to another possible  tragedy ffs

I thought her comments yesterday was it, that were posted in her were spot on. I didn’t like the Black Lives Matter slogan at the time as it is divisive in itself when in truth, everyone matters. She has opened herself up by accepting the slogan back then but then it’s hardly the most controversial or contradictory thing a poly has said or done!

 

It’s a disgrace but not surprising Reform and their lot are using this as a political point scoring matter. Farage with his rise up in rage comments and Robinson in Southampton stirring up protests,  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1m2d0ny50no

 

The likes of Farage and Robinson don’t just not care about Henry or his family, I’d go as far to say they are actively pleased about his death, as many of the Reform supporters will be. They are pleased because it gives them a reason to spread their divisive, toxic hatred. Just like they were pleased the little girls in Southport’s killings gave them a reason to incite the protests that summer.
