FWIW, my own experience of the police has generally been positive and I don't find your views representative of police I have as friends and have worked with. There are many documented cases of bad management, sexual harassment, violence etc etc in all walks of life. As public servants, the police are always likely to be under closer scrutiny and suffer bad press as a result. It's hardly new news, is it?
Since you *still* haven't pointed out to me which points of Steve_P's I didn't address, I'll assume you're retracting that part of your complaint about the way I'm conducting myself in this thread.

Post #11 was addressed by you in a round-about way by referring to the McPherson Report. It's well over 7yrs since that was published, the Amnesty link you provided is a press release from years ago too. Neither response really answers Steve's not unreasonable question as to how you know that a "typical policeman (is) a small-minded racist who makes up for his own inadequacies by excessive use of violence" to be true. I don't believe that this is a wholly accurate summary of the McPherson document.
Your post suggested personal knowledge/experience. His question asked you to justify your response. We ended up with URL's for nearly decade old reports. Seems you glossed over stuff to me.

Hmm. I seem to have drifted into a parallel dimension. Macpherson report?

You just hadn't had your coffee, prefer to read racist/psychopath authors and think it's okay to call the police "filth" (slang only amongst the criminal fraternity?) or to compare public servants to paedophiles and arms merchants?
Gosh... from some of your other fist-fights on this forum I though you were some kind of vaguely left-wing intellectual but it seems I couldn't have been more mistaken.

You're not just an out and out troll then?
