Yesterday, police insisted they were right to end the party. 'We were extremely concerned how the event had been advertised on the internet as an all-night party,' a spokesman said.

Serves them right for even thinking about staying up past 22.00.
How flucking DARE these people think they can have a all-night party??
Jesus, next thing you know the common man on the street will be going somewhere, to protest about something... Thank God for those plucky fellows in black keeping us safe.

We have gotta jump all over this kind of outrageous behaviour before society as we know it fails completely.

WELL DONE THE POLICE .

Oh Pablo, bless your little cotton socks for making the obvious - and inaccurate - link to The Police State we apparently find ourselves living in.

The only thing that surprises me about hysterical stories like this is that even wank-rags like The Metro find face to print them.

For the slow-witted amongst us:

PS. In case you were wondering, I'm being sarcastic in pointing out that the hapless burger-muncher in this Cornish tragedy is not only unable to accurately describe a pair of trousers, but seems to find it worthy of note (and of dismay) that the police require extra pockets.

For the retarded amongst us:

He was referring to the impression police officers give when dressed in camouflage trousers and body armour- were they attending a riot?

But hey as you say they have "more pockets" yes yes...easier to carry more "stuffs"..you could have pointed this out in a rational way instead you decide to respond like a child:

Yes we don't live in a police state-four police cars, a riot van and a helicopter to close down a BBQ for 15 people..the police were "right" to close it down..it could of got "out of hand"....

Your a fucking disease james.....

Sod the main story...

Quote:
Mr Poole said he spent £800 on food and a generator.


£800? He either hired a nuclear reactor as a generator or all his family are fat bastards of the highest order*.

* Or... he's lying in an attempt to gain huge amounts of compensation. Imagine that.

Are the police ever issued with camo gear? It's really hard to mistake plain for camouflage. Neutral

Will the police release their documents taken from facebook to make them believe it was a rave?

They're all over the internet. Laughing

Be very careful what you say.

It seemed to imply that because it was advertised on facebook millions of people would come.

Not that I'm aware of - hence my gentle suggestion that the 'victim' is a bit of dribbly dunce. Quite a few of the county forces wear black/blue combats, but I've never seen anyone wear camouflage - possibly some CT surveillance types maybe? Certainly not the normal type of plod you'd send to close down a BBQ.

Quote:

I think they should, might clarify things a bit. Worth pointing out that the Telegraph has it as local residents informed them that they suspected a rave - I assume the area suffers a lot from them.

Indeed, but we don't think less of you for it. Well, not much.

The 'victim' of the original story can refer to what he likes - he's talking shit.

Anyone here ever seen a British PC in camouflage trousers? I haven't, and as for body armour - they're all issued it, in 30 out of 32 boroughs in London it's mandatory to wear it - I can't remember the last time I saw a copper on the street without, so what's the big deal there?

So we're left with the COMBAT trousers - which are worn because they have extra pockets to carry stuffs in - and I'll point that out however the frak I please, especially when the original story is as big a pile of steaming turd as this one was.

And yet only 8 coppers? In their imaginary camouflage trousers. I'm guessing the riot van wasn't actually a riot van, but just a normal police cell van. 8 officers between 5 vehicles isn't exactly G20 stylee, is it? I'm guessing they didn't know there were only 15 people there until they turned up, they'd look pretty thick if one car rolled up to try and disperse hundreds.

As for the chopper, the police said it was in the area anyway and decided to have a look - what's the big deal?

In an actual police state the people would never have got to the field, the 'victim' would've been quietly disappeared before he had a chance to put his heinous BBQ plans in motion. Anyone turning up after that would've been shot in the back of the head, while kneeling in front of an open grave.

Still, it's an Anti-Police story - so we'll just choose to believe the dribbler that doesn't seem to know what camouflage is, eh? *whoooop whooop* The police acted on local concerns - POLICE STATE DUDE, WE'RE RUN BY THE MANNNNN!

It's 'right' not "right" - get your punctuation sorted.

Oh, and it's could've.

Oh, so it's illegal to have a 'rave' party is it? The sub-text seems to imply the pigs would have been righteous if it had in fact been a 'rave' of hundreds as opposed to a fifteen-person BBQ.

When did it become 'illegal' to hold an impromptu 'rave' on private land? Hmm?

Yes James, it is indeed a police state, and your insistence that it can only be so described IF it adheres to the very most extreme definition of one is utter bollocks. It's a police state when the 'law' allows a group of pigs to shut down a private party simply because it consists of a large number of people playing music. The same as it's a police state when the pigs use criminal violence as a deliberate policy to intimidate protestors and dissuade future potential protestors from going out to protest in the first place.

I cant believe someone had to point the above out for this fucking Muppet.

Your logic is flawed..yes the chopper was in the area-why did it not do a single fly over take note of the amount of people there radio numbers to grounded officers and save the people having the BBQ the bother of having the police call?

"theres 15 people there no need to make a visit"

Although it dosent even matter how many people were there,there was no harm and there was no complaint.. and it certainly did not appear to be a "rave" when the officers attended so why close it down?

I don't care about some guy having a BBQ or not and i have no issues with a peace officer doing his job properly..Again we see another case of total over reaction and again Junior James you are totally blind to it.

Of course not! God forbid we believe anything about the Police doing a bad job, being incompetent, or over reacting.... It just doesn't happen does it? Lets just sweep it under the carpet...

I don't know you James, but you do a very good job of turning people against you buy over reacting, then backing into your corner and slating peoples grammar to divert attention from the fact your a bit of a numpty and generally wrong. Similar to the sort of actions that we come to expect from our Police....

It wouldn't be seen as impromptu, there was clear organisation behind the event. Given that, then I would hazard a guess that it would be covered by the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act (1994).
