If Police Are Seen As Part Of The Problem, It's A National Crisis

[naomi24]

Although the police appear to respond swiftly to incidents that aren't criminal offences, a failure to act on anti-Semitic behaviour at a recent pro-Palestine march in London, prompted this article from Stephen Pollard, former editor of the Jewish Chronicle.  It makes interesting reading.

Are the Police part of the problem?

[sandyRoe]

No, they're not.

In this country we enjoy free speech.  Perhaps the writer of the article isn't a native and doesn't understand our ways.

[youngmafbog]

The Met needs to be split up, the coppers at the top sacked and start again.  It's not just this they are an utter failure.

[Zacs-Master]

Didn't 'we' do this the other day?

//In this country we enjoy free speech.//

Well yes but only to a degree as you lefties are so fond of telling us.

For instance, inciting people to commit crime or supporting a proscribed terrorist group or 'simple' hate crime.

 

[Gromit]

‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ is not antisimitic. It is an aspiration song dating back to partition in 1947 (pre Hamas).

 

[youngmafbog]

It is Gromit but you are missing the fact it has been hi-jacked by extremists to push a very intolerant view that Israel must be obliterated.

[Deskdiary]

Supporting Hamas, as you do sandyRoe, and describing them as "freedom fighters" is not free speech.

They are a proscribed terrorist group.

[THECORBYLOON]

The fact a slogan has been hijacked by terrorists demonstrates the problem in wanting the police to arrest folk for chanting it.

How would they demonstrate the reasons for chanting the slogan (and only that slogan) amounted to supporting a proscribed organization and not for an alternative, lawful reason?

 

[naomi24]

Corby, there were other factors.

[youngmafbog]

The pedant wont get that Naoimi.

[naomi24]

If he's that pedantic hopefully he'll read the whole article.

[naomi24]

I think this is all part and parcel of the authorities' - not just the police - efforts to maintain social cohesion with the Muslim community.  That resulted in predominately Pakistani grooming gangs being ignored for years - and even allowed public health to be compromised by relaxing rules on hygiene with regard to hospital uniforms.  

[youngmafbog]

Sadly you are correct there Naomi.  

Instead of integrating certain immigrants have been allowed to bring their backward cultures and grievences with them and this is the end result.  There have been several articles on this recently - by immigrants!

[ToraToraTora]

Sadly, plod has been seduced by the new fascism. They'd rather trawl Twittokfacegram in case someone uses the wrong pronoun than nick villains. I know quite a few retired coppers and they dispair at the modern "force".

[ToraToraTora]

they won't even stop the JSO morons from blocking the highway. let alone TROP preachers in the road preaching hate.

[ToraToraTora]

We should stop bending over backwards for these scum minorities who when they get here want to turn it into the sheet holes they came from. If it was so great why did you leave?

TTT

Despair isn't the word . All the retired officers I still associate with are 'deeply ashamed'. Not only the Met either. We agree the rot has started at the top.

[ToraToraTora]

Yeah, retro, amazing isn't what happened to nicking villains? I know an officer, good pal of mine, he rose to Chief Super, lot of villains behind bars because of him. He was a new PC when they nicked the train robbers. An absloute mine of anecdotes and experience. Over 90 now, he can barely bring himself to even own up to once being a plod. I don't know where we are heading but I am glad I am at this end of my life. It's my grandson's generation I feel for.

[youngmafbog]

Generally speaking is is only at the top.  The Police Force was infiltrated by Graduate driven Metropolitan liberals who have turned it into the Police Farce.  They are far more interested in diversity, pronouns and minority groups and causes than actually nicking crooks.

But, it has to be said there are still some good coppers at grass roots level, the problem being they are curtailed by the Liberal do-gooders at the top who simply cannot understand that villains are laughing at them.

Sadly the Judiciary has also been infiltrated in a similar manner. Neither service provides what the public want or what Suella demands.
