Reply to: More Evidence of Lying Corrupt Thieving Violent Police

[Purple Dalek]

First of all, I heard the news on Radio 4 and I searched for the follow up. In the light of the repeated lies of the Police involved in the Menezes shooting being defended by head of the Met (Blair); I was discussed to hear the Chief Constable of Hampshire trivialise the offences made by members of his force. How can courts believe police evidence when they give evidence?

If you or I were to have such a criminal record we would not get security clearance not would we be allowed to work in banks.

Many forum members go on about how we should punish benefit fraud but when the police do it, then it id disregarded.

That's how this all came into the open, believe it or not. A civilian member of the police force was fired after a really quite trivial offence, whereas a serving police officer was allowed to continue after something far more serious.

Is the %-tage of offenders among the police is lower than the average in normal population? One would hope so, and if that's the case Paddy then the conclusion you should draw is that you are a thief etc etc.

That's the definition of a good police force: one that catches more crooks than it employs.

No, it's in other papers as well. You obviously haven’t any brains to make a constructive comment.

Why does a thread called " More Evidence of Lying Corrupt Thieving Violent Police" from a poster called "Paddy" make me laugh?

Not at all. I'd recon a copper whose served time for credit card fraud would be perfect to catching others of a similar disposition.

On the otherhand, the justice system being what it is, you have to be pretty stupid or unlucky to be caught. Do we really want the stupid and unlucky to be our protectors?

Portsmouth? No surprises there then. Bunch of complete pot-noodlers the lot of them - even the Police, Sack em all!!!

There are 42 offences for 4000 coppers. If it's one offence per person then that's about 1% of the force who have a conviction.

I'm not saying there's no problem, but is it really such a big problem?

Your responses brimming with logical fallacies. It is quite amusing.

The PA report is a direct cut and paste from the Sun article. The Sun claims the article as their own. You can't claim the PA report as a separate source.

[Purple Dalek]

Just because the BBC reported that an MP had picked up on it doesn't make it any less of a non-story.

The reuters one is left as an exercise for the training of planks.

Have we discovered the true identity of the Purple Exterminator?

I recon it's Denny.

[Moscow Mule]

And I read it on PA, Reuters and the BBC website.

So one should draw ones own conclusions about this plank.

Oh and Links?
