Not much detail on this report, just that a 61 year old woman has been killed by a police car.
I wonder what's happened this time? ____________________ BCF's 6th favourite poster 2009-2010
Harold_Shand's theory might be the best explanation. |

Apparently it was a young driver who had just passed his police qualification who stuck the sirens and blue lights on to get a takeaway for his mates. So sayeth the newspaper.
I wonder if the justice system will fail us again this time. ____________________ Go back to bed - You have no rights - "Streetfighters ~ Mainstream motorcycling's crackwhore sister." |

Roads are for vehicles.
Pavements are for pedestrians.
I haven't seen a Daily Mail style 'Vehicle mounted the pavement' photo.
So i'll assume she was in the road.
Can't make futher comment without the facts. |

All the police I have come across have been tossers, but I don't like the way everyone jumps to assume they must be doing something wrong.
Upon meeting the police I'm always polite and courteous, because they deserve respect the same as anyone else. If they are a cunt then that changes IMO
I got cut up by a rozzer car the other day in the cage, I sounded the horn and got hazard lights and a wave of sorry.
I wonder if it would be a different story if an old woman had been hit by an ambulance with sirens on.

Who has jumped to assume anything about this? So far evidence (from an officer) shows a cop was racing to the takeaway with his sirens on. If this part of the story alone is true he was abusing his power and should be sacked even if the woman jumped out (nothing suggests this at the minute).

Sorry, I was meaning more generally, you know, every other thread that involves the police....

Maybe we need something like the ICAC a HK body which actually has powers and isn't like the IPPC which is stuffed full of ex cops who never find anybody guilty.
The ICAC is feared amongst civil servants (inc police) and corrupt police or police who go above their powers really do get thrown off the force and get put into prison.
My dad remembers a case from the 90s where a cop was humiliated , cop pulled a gun , guy said just cus your a cop doesn't mean its carte blanche , cop pistol whipped him , and falsified a report saying he was being attacked..
Result? , cop lost his pension was put in prison for 3 years and was thrown off the force. ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

I had the exact same thing happen to me at a roundabout.
Annoying when I knew I was in the right and had to pretend that I was apologising not to do it again. As it happened I was being a bit illegal in another way, so I didnt want an argument, in case that got found out.
I know someone in the police, and he knows of an incident in which unnecessary careless driving from a policeman resulted in someone getting a broken back.
He was kicked out of the police, but wasnt charged.
Unfortunately, you need some arrogant wankers for the rough stuff that the police have to do, and its not always possible to keep them in check.
I have to admit, I'd prefer the police to be pricks who arent afraid of getting stuck in when needed and fuck up sometimes, than sensitivity trained social workers. ____________________ colin1 is officially faster than god |
