…the Evidence I shall give shall be…..
By Mike Cunningham On August 4th, 2012The scene is a busy road in one of London’s many suburbs. Two men are seen driving slowly down the road in a black car. Suddenly their car is stopped, and they are surrounded by eight heavily armed men. Two shots ring out with no warning, and the driver slumps down, dying as his friend tries to comfort him. The authorities arrive, all the assailants are arrested, a gun which has been fired twice is seized; and all those arrested are interviewed under caution. The car, the surviving passenger, the dead driver; all are searched, but no weapons are found. All those interviewed have availed themselves of legal representation, in compliance with the Police & Criminal Evidence Act. All interviews are video-recorded, with double back-up copies to prevent any possible miscarriage of justice.
A fanciful piece of legal fiction; you may say, and you may well be correct: but transpose the scene to Tottenham’s High Street, the day that the riots broke out in Tottenham, followed by similar mayhem across the country; the dead driver of the car was Mark Duggan, and the heavily-armed men were all police officers. But here is where the truth diverges from the story: in that whilst all the assailants were interviewed under caution in the story, not ONE policeman has been interviewed, not ONE Policeman, and certainly not the man who fired his gun twice at the body of an unarmed man. The so-called Independent Police Complaints Commission is due to report in the Autumn, but it must be asked what sort of Report will it be when absolutely No police evidence, given under caution, can be introduced as part of the report, when no evidence has been taken?
Once again, an old saying rings true!
“Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely!” Were ever truer words spoken?
Historians would have us believe that a country or nation is built and progresses to an even better future by democratic leadership. Lead by people of intellect and integrity, when in fact it is no such thing.
It is most certainly ‘built, by the people, for the people,’, – and that is the point where it all goes wrong. Leaders assume power and control by the pretence that they have intellect beyond the norm, they attain what others have worked for by graft, – as in the art of deception, – not the craft with which honest men to make a living.
It all starts in a very small way, with leaders being elevated to positions of power because they are seen to have merit, it may take centuries, but it is all downhill thereafter, with successive leaders being more devious than the previous one, each building on the calumnies of the last.
The truth is that corruption always starts at the top, fostered by greed, not for financial gain but for ever more power. The worse the corruption the larger their personal delusions of ability and intellect. The current times are a perfect, almost global example.
It has all become far too large to be within the ability of any one person or clique to manage. The current era is, and has been for quite a few decades, bereft of anyone remotely capable of providing ‘leadership’.
Delusions of a ‘global government’ are just that – ‘delusions’ – for no other reason than that mankind just isn’t that smart, – yet!
The point of my diatribe? – when the police become agents of a power bloc, who are as dictatorial as any ME dictator, and become above the law they are supposedly meant to uphold, you can sure that is a very plain signal that yet another ‘tipping point’ on that downward slippery slope towards anarchy has occurred.
you’ll enjoy this Ernest watch the whole clip

Troll,
Thanks for the clip. Having been a hero in my own lunchtime on a couple of occasions, I have to say that I found the whole thing an embarrassment.
I only wish to be thought of kindly by family and friends and doing one’s best for them has nothing to do with being a hero, or heroism.
Hope all is well with you and yours – good luck! …
Soon the cops will be using drones against the public as is now done in the US:
http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2012/08/02/court-upholds-domestic-drone-use-in-arrest-of-american-citizen
A judge denied a request to dismiss charges Wednesday against Rodney Brossart, a man arrested last year after a 16-hour standoff with police at his Lakota, N.D., ranch. Brossart’s lawyer argued that law enforcement’s “warrantless use of [an] unmanned military-like surveillance aircraft” and “outrageous governmental conduct” warranted dismissal of the case, according to court documents obtained by U.S. News.
Court records state that last June, six cows wandered onto Brossart’s 3,000 acre farm, about 60 miles west of Grand Forks. Brossart allegedly refused to return the cows, which led to a long, armed standoff with the Grand Forks police department. At some point during the standoff, Homeland Security, through an agreement with local police, offered up the use of an unmanned predator drone, which “was used for surveillance,” according to the court documents. -
” Justice denied . AGAIN .
Once again the Police get away with manslaughter , aided by a cowardly jury afraid to convict a policeman for fear of Police reprisals . How a not guilty verdict could be delivered after seeing that video is beyond belief and all reason .
It would appear that the Police are out of control and are above the law of the land and are nothing but the Government’s bully boys and girls ; a likening of the Police to the Nazi S.A. is not unwarranted .

I posted this on the 19th. July 2012, today Mike post this ; truly the Police in the U.K. get away with murder .
So move along ,nothing to see here .
Incredible.
There have been over 200 deaths in police custody since 1990, but not a single conviction.
“you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain”
I try to stay away from posts like this, I don’t know the facts, the history, or the details of the situation.
That being said, I know cops. I know that most people have no concept of what they really do or why they do it.
They are the thin blue line that keep you safe. People for the most part just want to go to work and raise their families, but there is a segment of mankind that prey on their fellow man. The police are the barrier between you and them.
Not all cops are good, but 99% are. They’ll step in the path of that knife or bullet to protect you without ever knowing your name.
If you have a bad cop you demand not just justice but extreme justice because they have betrayed a sacred trust. Believe me the other 99% will stand with you on that demand.
But never forget these are the people that lay their lives on the line everyday and they do it for you.
The second and third quotes would seem to contrdict the first one Troll.
Troll – it used to be the case that a person joined the police for public service and to put oneself in harm’s way as a part of the job. Neither of these can be taken as true any more. There are just too many bad cops, and they are doing the bidding of their superiors.
then it’s time to clean house, “To Protect and Serve” you must demand no less.
You need to be able to trust the police, over the past decades it’s been the british and the irish, and all the varied sub-factions. But Look at France and parts of England are already being over run by pockets of Islamic insanity.
You need to be able to trust in that wall to stand between the civilized and the uncivilized.
You will or at least we do, will always have instances of excessive force, but that force needs to be controlled and directed. Look simple cop logic, they use their hands you use your stick, the pick up a knife or a gun, you punch their ticket. but those situations can only be acceptable when you can trust that are directed at the criminal element.
Cops have to be keepers of the peace, not assassins and you should be demanding example prosecutions of those that cross that line.
If you have had 200 deaths in custody there has to have been at least one case that the people the press and a politician can use to force the resignation of superior officers and the full prosecution of line officers.
accept no less.
Look I was raised in a city that was controlled for decades by Frank Rizzo the running joke was “bang (gun shot) then they would yell stop or I’ll shoot” but our streets were safe and no one got worked that didn’t provoke it.
The police should be feared, but only by those doing wrong.
