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! 

Is That The Royal 'We'..?

The Mayor of Lewisham has added to criticism of police filmed using “excessive force” to arrest a black woman in the area.

Damien Egan said he was “shocked” by the footage, which showed six officers pinning down Kamyimsola Olatunjoye, 28, as she shouted “I can’t breathe” on May 9.

Was he shocked because, if she could speak, she clearly could breathe?

No, of course not. There's #virtuesignalling to be done!

“We have been shocked by images of police using excessive force to arrest black people in Lewisham in recent weeks and we have been meeting with the police to ensure these instances are investigated, and that we receive information, by ethnicity, relating to the increase of stop and search during lockdown.”

Maybe the increase is due to the actions of those targeted, rather than the actions of those targeting them?

But maybe I'm being too harsh, maybe some racist police jumped on this poor fragile flower as she was innocently walking down the street and...

Oh.

The Independent Office of Police Conduct has launched an investigation into Ms Olatunjoye’s arrest, who was charged with obstructing a drugs search.

She was travelling as a passenger in a car that failed to stop for police, Scotland Yard said.

Guess not.

Everyone Knows Where It Came From.

EVERYONE!

The woman added: “I have no idea where she came from originally, but she was definitely dumped from a vehicle.

“Her front legs were bound with bailing twine, and the twine extended to a length that showed it had been used to pull her from a field.

“Her mouth and teeth had mud in them so she had been dragged originally from a field.

“She was emancipated (Ed: /facepalm) and had severe wounds to her rear, eyes and ears from predators, so we believe she had been in a very weak state in the field.

“I’m only glad that if this is how her early months were spent she’s been spared that for a lifetime.”

And they also know the RSPCA and Essex Police will do nothing about it....
