I could but then I'd have to kill you
Not all police are gits
Not all 'victims' are innocent.
The tale triggers the 'cover up' alarms that have been sensitised by
the court cases that a close relative of mine has found himself in. In
some instances he's been found not guilty and been able to make claims
against the police because of their 'robust' behaviour as the police
have been unable to present evidence in a non self-incriminating way
but such was their ambitions to 'do him' they took the cases to court
anyway. In other instances the police evidence has been watered down
heavily leading to minimal fines for v.serious offences.
I just have v.strong suspicions that the full story has not been told
and that the 'victim' was not in the wrong place at the wrong time and
had no idea of the I.D. of the two plain clothed officers. The 15 year
olds that I teach have very sensitive plod detection sensors.
Non-plods telling them to do something would be treated to a torrent of
abuse, real plods are fled from.
I don't even think that it's a race issue. Teenagers, the lad was 15 at
the time, have the capacity to be felons irrespective of race, age or
gender. I know 'em, I teach 'em! Situations can be manipulated to mask
the shortcomings of the victim. I often wonder what wondrous tales are
told in court to secure the release of the accused to plague my classes
