Equality of opportunity for women at last! At least when it comes to police brutality that is…
There’s shocking CCTV video just published by the Guardian (also just shown on Newsnight) of 4 Sheffield police officers piling on, and beating unconscious one slight, drunk, epileptic teenage girl at the back of a nightclub then dragging her, unconscious and injured with her pants round her ankles, menaced by a snarling police dog, to a waiting van.
Oh, and did I say the girl is black?
I see a former colleague of mine, Ruggie Johnson, is getting great face time from the whole affair. Looks like Britain may finally have its very own Rodney King, though no doubt the Daily Mail and Express readers are already saying she deserved all she got.
The video is here. Link to it, spread it around: the world needs to see that the British police officer is no kindly old Midsomer Norton bobby on a bike, but a vicious paramilitary thug who’s lost all sense of his own humanity.
Who do you think it is in these northern towns that’s voting for the BNP? There may be very many dedicated officers out there, but they’re vastly outnumbered and intimidated in the lower ranks by callous racist thugs. Now Labour want to give these same thugs even more tools and weapons to herd the proles and chav scum with and to intimidate the rest of us into compliance.
Look at that video; are these the people you want walking around with potentially lethal tasers in their hands?
