It's the same when the music industry start banging on about the 'MOBO' awards. Makes me so bloody angry.

He is, after all, part of a minority community renowned for its phlegmatic response to provocation and member of an association marked for its work in preventing the promotion of police officers qualified only by the colour of their skin.<BR/><BR/>From your quoted story we learn that "PC Farooq made a face-to-face apology at the hearing" and "Mr Beckley . . apologised to Mr Carter in writing for PC Farooq's 'totally unacceptable' behaviour and said the officer's future performance will be monitored."<BR/><BR/>Bugger "monitoring" this piece of authoritarian detritus should be fired - no pension, no anything. He is a disgrace to his uniform. While we're about it, Farooq was not alone in banging up Mr Carter. The more senior policemen (who, I assume are not all members of the BPA) who run the police station bear as much responsibility as anyone: Mr Carter was banged up for 5 hours after he was arrested and for another 5 hours when he turned up with his solicitor in respect of his police bail conditions.<BR/><BR/>This will, of course, blow over, to join the rest of the increasing number of examples of the conversion of the British police from citizens in uniform to an uncontrolled army of occupation (eg <A HREF="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2004/11/28/do2802.xml&sSheet=/opinion/2004/11/28/ixop.html" REL="nofollow">this one</A>). In the words of our incompetent rulers, the "lesson learned" from this incident - and the police response - is that aggrieved citizens should hesitate to obtain evidence of police misconduct. A good result for the Avon and Somerset Police and the BPA but not for the rest of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-18021761727549249382008-08-20T10:30:00.000+01:002008-08-20T10:30:00.000+01:00Try starting a 'White Police Association' and see ...Try starting a 'White Police Association' and see what happens!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-16730768967677422992008-08-20T09:54:00.000+01:002008-08-20T09:54:00.000+01:00The "Black Police Association's Avon and Somerset ...The "Black Police Association's Avon and Somerset branch" is not discriminatory in itself, no sir, not in the slightest, not one little bit.Letters From A Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612766550608940053noreply@blogger.com
