Good And Bad In Every Society Innit

[retrocop]

Just a routine job for a copper in Hackney. Attends a plea of help from a victim who has been assaulted and is ambushed by these thugs. Heroes all. They put the boot in whilst attempting to effect an arrest and then turn on a Woman Police Officer and slap her around. Of course our pubic spirited community in that area are queing up outside the nick to give witness statements and keeping to social guidelines to 'boot'. Black Pride anyone ?

As you say Retro, good and bad everywhere.Can't blame all black people for this.

[retrocop]

That's my point danny. You can't blame every police officer in London for the malpractice of others 4,000 miles away.

[dannyk13]

Totally agree with you on that.

Who is blaming every police officer in London for hat happened in America, retro. The only point I can see you making with your post is that a black guy resists arrest, some of his 'friends' attempt to free him. A female constable comes to his aid and is pushed away several times - not 'slapped around' as you claim - and another guy stamps on the copper's arm (or maybe even his friend's head - hard to tell, really) while onlookers film the incident from various vantage points (there are other videos of this incident available - i've watched two others). Maybe those filming were waiting for the cop to gain the upper hand and kneel on the man's neck?
All the video does is to prove that some thugs will resist arrest while other thugs (possibly friends) will come to their assistance. We see it on all those police documentaries in towns and cities when pubs/clubs are closing. It's nothing new.

There might have been people there who would have liked to help the officers. In doing so they'd have made enemies among their neighbours.
A shameful silence makes for a oeaceful life.

[sandyRoe]

Yep, mobile phone footage is a two edged weapon.

"There might have been people there who would have liked to help the officers." ..... dream on....

police are probably scared to arrest any of the scum involved for fear of being called racists...they'll play the race card at every possible opportunity now....nothing but trash, they wont change

[royfromaus]

Two of them have been arrested.

nothing but trash, they wont change



Black people or those in the video?

[tiggerblue10]

Many people are against the idea of cctv being everywhere but I feel it's needed in these times.

I'll let you decide, it will give you something to do....

[royfromaus]

Ah, another coward.

[Theland]

Its unlikely any of them will go before the courts, and if they do, well, tail wags dog again.

The copper isn't thrown to the ground at all. He comes off worst in trying to subdue the civilian. Terrible journalism.

retrocop - // That's my point danny. You can't blame every police officer in London for the malpractice of others 4,000 miles away. //

Pointing to one incident and making a comparison with another far more high profile incident really doesn't make the point you appear to wish for in my view.

I don't believe anyone with any sense and intelligence is blaming any other police officer anywhere for the actions of one - any more than anyone with any sense and intelligence would think that the behaviour highlighted is simply typical of UK citizens, whatever their ethnic base.

[Spicerack]

BLM is blaming all police. That's why they're trying to get rid of them.

Spicerack - // BLM is blaming all police. That's why they're trying to get rid of them. //

The amount BLM understand about the reality of why any lives matter (i.e. all of them) is directly inversely proportional to the amount of noise and fury they create to prove how right-on they are.

They make a huge noise, they actually achieve next to nothing, aside from alienating anyone who may be sympathetic by their vandalism and hatred, they are narrow-minded bigots, which is ironic since it is that style of thinking that they claim to object to, and they appear to achieve little outside being a peg for thugs and vandals to be able to hang their destructive urges on.

[Spicerack]

Quite agree. Glad you said it.
