BBC - Cyclist Chased & Hit by Police car
Just been watching this bizarre clip on the BBC site where a cyclist appears
to be knocked off, starts running, then gets run over! http://news.bbc.co.uk/nolavconsole/u...toryid=4254616 |

I think that there's more to the story than has been reported. do tell I could but then I'd have to kill you :-) Not all police are gits Not all 'victims' are innocent. The tale triggers the 'cover up' alarms that have been sensitised by the court cases that a close relative of mine has found himself in. In some instances he's been found not guilty and been able to make claims against the police because of their 'robust' behaviour as the police have been unable to present evidence in a non self-incriminating way but such was their ambitions to 'do him' they took the cases to court anyway. In other instances the police evidence has been watered down heavily leading to minimal fines for v.serious offences. I just have v.strong suspicions that the full story has not been told and that the 'victim' was not in the wrong place at the wrong time and had no idea of the I.D. of the two plain clothed officers. The 15 year olds that I teach have very sensitive plod detection sensors. Non-plods telling them to do something would be treated to a torrent of abuse, real plods are fled from. I don't even think that it's a race issue. Teenagers, the lad was 15 at the time, have the capacity to be felons irrespective of race, age or gender. I know 'em, I teach 'em! Situations can be manipulated to mask the shortcomings of the victim. I often wonder what wondrous tales are told in court to secure the release of the accused to plague my classes :-) |

Our powers-that-be can be nasty even to middle-class whites, if they think you're a bit foreign. It's happened to non-english (though 100% white) members of my family. It happened to me when I entered England on a ferry from France driving an Italian-registered car. But at least when the police do Bad Things (which I don't think is all that common), they're pretty open about it. Not like the horror of bureaucracy, let alone the sheer robbery of an institutionally corrupt legal system. -- Not me guv |
