Can The IOPC Bring In A Verdict Of 'You Brought It On Yourself'..?

The Metropolitan police has referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct over an incident where an older black man was hospitalised after officers pulled over his vehicle in south London.

Oh..? Did they savagely assault a pensioner then, for no reason?  

The 70-year-old driver was stopped by traffic officers in Bromley over a broken brake light on Monday afternoon.
The man allegedly struggled with an officer after getting out of his car, leaving the officer with an eye injury.

Ah. More the other way round. 

But what could possibly cause an elderly man to go tonto when the police stop him to point out a defect in his vehicle? I'd be greatful to have this pointed out, thank them, and call the garage to get it fixed. 

Wouldn't anyone? 

The caption on the post, which has been liked more than 100,000 times and generated more than 5,000 comments, reads: “Today these police men beat up my dad in the Shortlands/Bromley area as they said he posed immediate threat towards them. This incident escalated because the police men pulled my dad due to one of his lights not working which he was not aware of.
“My dad is born-and-bred Jamaican whose accent is very strong and isn’t afraid to say what he feels about the @metpolice_uk and their corrupt racist system as my dad made hand gestures telling them to leave him alone they felt it was now their duty to physically abuse him.”

Case closed, I think!

Melvin was there. He'll be on here soon with his eye witness account.

You have to realise that the ultimate objective of BLM is that black people shouldn't have to obey the law.

Perhaps if he is so un-British in his behaviour said gentleman, who obviously isn't, should be deported.

Older?
Older than whom, what?
Had they previously hospitalised a younger MOC?

Another example from the US:

"Wouldn't anyone? "

Nah. It's just a brake light. No need to bother a garage with that, it's DIY 101 :-)

The footage from the Police bodycams should make interesting viewing.
Let's hope it gets made public soon.

Exactly Bucko, was pulled over early 80’s, went to get petrol on the way home, Sunday, about 7pm.
We’d been to a friends, child christening.
OH pissed in passenger seat, 2 children in back.
They said tail light, well knew about it.
Had actually bought one the day before.
They were really nice, nothing to do with my “long blond hair and eyes of blue”.
Fixed it next day, cars were much more simple then.
Btw had a couple n all.

"The laws don't apply to me". Black privilege?

"Melvin was there. He'll be on here soon with his eye witness account."

Strangely, he wasn't... 😔

"You have to realise that the ultimate objective of BLM is that black people shouldn't have to obey the law."

A significant section of that population appears to have already started.

"Perhaps if he is so un-British in his behaviour said gentleman, who obviously isn't, should be deported."

Sadly, I suspect we are stuck with him, because the magic word 'Windrush' would be employed...

"Wait for the apology from the family when the truth comes out..."

I can't wait that long!

"Had they previously hospitalised a younger MOC?"

Not often enough! 😁

"Another example from the US:"

From where this attitude spread in the first place, I wonder?

"Nah. It's just a brake light. No need to bother a garage with that, it's DIY 101 :-)"

For you, maybe! I wouldn't fill up the tank if we still had manned garages... 😉

""The laws don't apply to me". Black privilege?"

Yup!

'Strangely, he wasn't... 😔'

Please spare me hollow expressions of disappointment. As a prolific and 'proffesional' liar, WC Jaded only shares a vice common to her kind. But what is really strange, is either the extent of your gullibility in accepting plod lies or how easily you are entertained by 'there' accounts...😉
