Naughty police covering up again...

[lilelvis2000]

No, it's not clever because police lost out in trust and prestige, that will cost them far more than giving up "one of their own".

Don't worry there will soon be a law against thinking that.

Is the thread title a deliberate double-entendre?

You can´t lose something you don´t have (unless you're a banker).

Depends how you look at it; the copper got away with what he did, so the police might say it was all very clever.

That rant aside, what a stupid **** up when there was so much at stake. Stupidity at work again.

BBC News - Tomlinson pathologist 'not qualified' for G20 case

Am not disputing the fact he shouldn't have done it but the wording in the news always leaves something to be desired. It wasn't that he wasn't 'qualified', a word that doesn't actually get used again in the whole article as it happens. He IS qualified to carry out this work, he shouldn't have been eligible or some other word like that.

Someone has put that word in title even though it has no reference again and is could be (and is) very misleading.
