Park Life 70 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I'm genuinely starting to fear for the non-perpetuity of this place. I think the board is preparing for the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Wonder if this will feature on 'Brit Cops: Zero Tolerance' on Bravo btw. Dunno but amazingly the IPCC is actually going to look into the investigation behind that babysitter that was acquitted. Fop expects a whitewash, but you never know.

Fop 1 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 The Metropolitan Police has denied trying to "cover up" the death of Ian Tomlinson during the G20 protests. London's former mayor Ken Livingstone said officers colluded to hide the fact that Mr Tomlinson, 47, was attacked by police minutes before he died. The Met said there was no intention to mislead following after the newsagent died of a heart attack on 1 April. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has launched a criminal investigation into the matter. "It's now quite clear that a lot of local officers were colluding in trying to cover this up" London's former mayor Ken Livingstone The force only acknowledged Mr Tomlinson had "contact with police" before he died after video footage of the attack came to the public domain. "To clarify, there has been no denial from the Met that this was the case, nor any deliberate intent to mislead," a spokesman said. "This is information that could only have been known as the investigation progressed as this was not known at the time of providing medical aid to Mr Tomlinson." Video footage appears to show Mr Tomlinson being hit with a baton and being pushed from behind to the floor. Mr Livingstone said local police officers had tried to obscure the truth from the beginning. "It's now quite clear that a lot of local officers were colluding in trying to cover this up, hide it no doubt from the commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson and the public," he said. The officer thought to be shown on video pushing Mr Tomlinson to the ground is to be questioned by the IPCC. The IPCC has ordered a second post-mortem test as part of its inquiry following the release of the video footage. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7992296.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to the French they are pretty moderate I guess, but not compared to the German police who seem pretty professional. They do get the water cannon out now and again though.

Was it really that bad? I know some blokey died but presumably he had a dodgy ticker? I only saw a bit of it on telly here but it didn't seem that extreme.....

Happy Face 29 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Saw the new video on ITV last night. Some stupid bitch tells her mate to film her and gets in the face of a copper 3 times after being asked to stand back. I've got no sympathy for her.

NJS 3986 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I remember a few years ago Paul Mariner claimed a goal for England which had grazed him before being deflected in for a blatant OG. Jimmy Greaves made the comment that he'd done a quick calculation and now reckoned he'd score 847 goals in his career rather than 400 or whatever it was. After seeing that I've done a quick calculation and reckon I've seen 257000 police assaults. It doesn't make hitting a woman right or proper but in the scheme of things I'd say it was minor - apart from the effect of making more people lose respect for the police.

Thing is again though, why does someone that is beating a police officer over the head with a pole just gets told to "calm down, please, calm down" as the officer backs away in one instance? Yet in another a women gets quite seriously backhanded in the face by an armoured glove and then beaten with a baton (a baton that it's completely illegal for a "civilian" to carry as well) for being mouthy?

Where's that quote with the apalling spelling from? I couldn't find it in the link. I don't know if its been said but I'd imagine the emergence of video cameras on mobile phones is the only reason incidents like these are getting this much press coverage. If these are the worst incidents over the two days my impression is policing has genuinely improved since my student days, and the days of the miners strike for that matter.
