Police

So what do you all think of the anti police riots in Britain?? Thoughts? Stupid or awesome?

I live 4 blocks away from the road where a cop shot a 15 yo kid. The cop had first chalenged the kids sitting there because the neighbourhood has a bad name. The kids probably yold him something he didn't like so the cop went away (the police center had asked him to disengage). He parked his car, he and his partner walked to the place they saw the kids, chalenged them again, shot alexis in cold blood and walked away like nothing happened without even calling an ambulance. Up to this point, you could say he's a psychopath that somehow managed to get through the police test, but listen to how the police reacted to this.

First of all, they announced that the cop was attacked for no reason with a molotov coctail and that he shot in self defence. Even though they hadn't questioned any witnesses yet and they hadn't searched the crime scene. Of course the trial showed this to be a lie. There were many witnesses since this was a very central part of athens. The police, even though they gave them their names and details themselves refused to question most. Instead they took their colleague's word for granted acting more like an organised gang than 'service to society'. In fact, if it wasn't for the month long riot, that cunt wouldn't be in jail and most greeks wouldn't be aware of how the police actualy operates.

Having lived here for a few years but also in other countries in europe, I can tell you that cops are a big business. They protect the rich from the poor. They keep the crime going to protect their business, and they perform some administrative work by providing you with a crime number where needed. Of course it is worth noting that being given a crime number is protection only for the rich. Only for those who are wealthy enough to have all their property insured so that the compensation proccess can go on.

In a case where I had something of mine stolen in front of a camera (in the UK), the police didn't want to waste any of their precious time to just have a look at the footage, see the licence plate of the vehicle and find his owner (the criminal). Instead they kept giving me excuses. After pushing them, their final word was that it would cost them too much money to look at the footage for a 'simple' (!) robbery because the contractors that have set up and are maintaining the camera system charge them too much for this 'servise'!!!

I could go on and give you thousants of examples but if you didn't get the point with these too, there is no point explaining any more.

On the other hand, I'had cops beat me,gas me for no reason swear at me and take me to court for swearing back and even steal from me. Twice. Luckily I'm still alive as the place I live is very heavily policed. Seriously I don't need any help or 'service' I prefer the crooks. And you know what? I still aknowledge them as humans, but humans who, no matter how dumb or mislead, have made a choice. The corruptive choice of having power. And as honast as I can be, I've never heard of anyone who has power and is not using it for his own benefit.
