Police officer

How much did you give, Nosey? £25, a ton?? Or a monkey??

What made you hallucinate that? The glue or the ale?

Take it to the appropriate thread.

I will if you will.

 

[Odds]

by the time you see their gun it maybe to late - we have to rely on the gut instincts of these police officers, and this officer got it right, he has protected the likes of me and you, and we should be thankful for his skill and judgement

Protecting me how?
I don't live in London.

The Clapham and Brixton Hill MP, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, said “there was a lot of pain and anger and hurt”, first at the fatal shooting, and then at the acquittal, in a borough that has “the lowest confidence in police in London”. “So many Black men have faced harm, in some cases death, following contact with the police,” she said. “I understand [police] have a complex job with extreme pressures, but no one is above the law. Black people are over-policed as citizens and under-policed as victims.”

The MP added that the work of neighbourhood officers “working hard to rebuild trust” had been “hampered by a response unit”.

Meanwhile, race relations activist Lee Jasper, a former policing director for London, called for juries in such cases to hear expert evidence on institutional racism. “If the rationale is a police officer only needs a reasonable belief to fire his weapon, then it’s tantamount to a licence to kill,” he said. “This verdict will make it absolutely clear to Black communities that when it comes to the Met police, Black lives don’t matter.”

More than 1,000 Metropolitan Police officers are currently suspended or on restricted duties, the force has said, as it tries to root out rogue officers.

The Met's Stuart Cundy said the number of affected officers was almost the size of a small police force, with one in 34 suspended or restricted.

He warned that removing all corrupt officers could take years.

How will the police re-establish trust in the black community?

 

[Mottie]

If the rationale is a police officer only needs a reasonable belief to fire his weapon, then

…people of all colours should comply with any instructions given to them by an armed officer. Simples.

How will the police re-establish trust in the black community?

How do "the black community" feel about gangsters dragging the decent ones among them down, I wonder?

Same way i feel about any minority upholding their rule over the majority of good folk.

I wonder if the guardian went to press before Kaba’s history was made public.

I guess they are embarrassed about running with the aspiring musician angle.

The jury were not aware so why would a national newspaper run the story before the trial?

Sounds like one of JohnD's implausibly convenient motoring stories.

They are still running BS articles on the subject.

While Martyn Blake was acquitted of murder, questions have been raised about why he didn’t face alternative charge

amp.theguardian.com

Carefully leaving out the fact that a person acquitted for murder can be tried again for manslaughter.

They should be embarrassed

Being aware and being restricted from reporting are different things. A good journalist researches his subject.
