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?
True enough, but there aren't many public servants whose poor behaviour leads to people being beaten to death or wrongly convicted after they had confessions forced out of them.

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.

Assume whatever you like.

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.

Oh, I wrote that before I'd had my morning coffee. You should probably disregard it.

Now that would be worth reading.

Plenty of reading here:

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

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.
