Our anti-police supporters would really have something to complain about if we had police like these.

So would anyone who supports the Police....

That goes without saying, but they are not the ones who are forever slagging off our own police service.

[emmie]

thank goodness we don't have police like this. however these are the same police who looked the other way when a woman was stoned to death for daring to love a man the parents didn't choose, who do not condemn men who rape and murder their wives, honour killings, or indeed who seem hell bent on ignoring the rule of actual humanity, any laws seem incidental

[jackthehat]

What answers would you like to receive on this issue, AOG?

[naomi24]

It's a backward culture. Nothing changes. (Looking at the state of the hospital those two will be lucky to get out alive - but that's par for the course too).

[RATTER15]

Disgusting savages to do that to a human being or any any other living creature !!!

[Baldric]

It certainly makes being Tazered for no reason look harmless in comparison!

[emmie]

if these men had any kind of work, what will they do now, what a vile story.

Others have managed to respond without any guidance from me, how is it you are different.

[jackthehat]

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be defending the British Police, or condemning the Pakistani Police.

[youngmafbog]

But then you have to look at our system that protects the perpetrators of crime and not the victims.

Turn it around and think what their thoughts are to that.

I'm not condoning the disgusting thing they did, just pointing out our system is far from perfect too.

[sandyRoe]

Wasn't it General Zia who reintroduced amputation, as decreed by Sharia law, as a punishment for theft in Pakistan?
Perhaps the order rescinding that drastic punishment hadn't reached these officers.

[emmie]

JTH, both i suspect

[emmie]

sandyr, perhaps they don't care,

No system can be 100% perfect, especially when one is dealing with the criminal element among us.

Would you agree that our Police service is the best one can expect, if not please tell us the one that is?

That is entirely up to you, I don't wish to put words into your mouth, or in this case words to your finger tips.

[emmie]

i think for the most part our police do a good job, and have said so time and again.

[Old_Geezer]

Unsure what the point being made is.

Is it that no one is allowed to condemn bad practice or abuse or anything if a worst example of something similar can be found from elsewhere in the world ?

If other places outside of our national boundaries are committing atrocities, that is not a reason to ignore any issues we have.

[youngmafbog]

I dont have an overall problem with the boys in blue.

I do have a problems with the wishy washy liberal justice system and interference from unelected 'officials' in Europe.

[Zeuhl]

The relatively high quality of British policing relies upon constant vigilance that they are performing to the highest standards and challenging them whenever there is a suspicion that is not so.

That is the basis of any organisation aiming for the highest possible standards.

What occurs in other places is irrelevant.
