Reform voters are too far gone. Beyond any reasoning. 

I have one in the family. Have no real explanation as to why they "HATE STARMER" yet they do. 

 

Starmer is irritating, incompetent, and has completely blown a huge majority like no one in history* but despite that thinks he should continue to lead the country, presumably straight into the hands of Nigel Farage.  Many people find that intensely annoying, if not hateful, not just Reform voters.

 

*since Boris anyway.

Not necessarily, if they’ve looked for a stab wound and haven’t been able to find one, it’s a difficult one to quantify…. It’s more down to incompetence than anything sinister in my opinion. 
 

This is why in my opinion they need to release entire clips of footage, not just a small snippet because it creates a completely different story. 
 

The officers have definitely failed in their duty of care, because they should have called for an ambulance immediately, that may have been the only way to tell he had been stabbed, as sometimes stab wounds to the torso don’t always bleed and look obvious. 
 

Unless we know the full story, rather than snippets it’s very difficult to make a fully informed conclusion. 
 

I’m not saying that these officers haven’t neglected their duty, because they have, but it may not be a clear as the information we have suggests. 
 

Is it necessarily criminal? It’s gross misconduct because it’s a failure to uphold the very path police officers swear, but is it necessarily criminal to essentially be crap at your job? 
 

There’s so many variables that we aren’t privy too, as we saw in the case of Chris Kabba, different scenario but in terms of information being shared with the public, it suddenly paints a completely different picture…..

 

The incident looked horrifying, and when you say a young man who’s been stabbed has been handcuffed laying on the floor saying he’s been stabbed…..

 

But how many times do we think police officers go to incidents, where people are drunk, or drugged in claiming to be stabbed and they haven’t? Potentially these officers have been to many incidents like this, and have unfortunately slipped into a complacent approach….. 

 

Essentially what I’m trying to say, is there’s more to the bigger picture of decision making than we’re privy too. 
 

It doesn’t make the situation less shocking, it just means that this incident if more officer incompetence more than two tier policing as alot of the far right are suggesting. 

From what I saw there was clearly blood visible and their 1st reaction should have been to check and assist. 
 

The fact they cuffed and said he was feigning injury is not only gross misconduct but inhumane. 
 

They need to be punished
