London Student protests - Wed 8th Dec+ Thurs 9th

There are plenty of non-police investigative professions. I would have thought corporate fraud investigators would be ideal for the IPCC.
You'd think wrong.

Fraud investigation is very different to reactive investigation of major crime.

They are better than someone with no reactive investigative experience at all but still way off the pace. And why would they trade their multi £££ salaries, bonuses, etc. for the public sector salries paid by the IPCC?
 
It's a con. You might have fallen for it, but these kids ain't stupid.
My summary is precisely that - a summary. And I don't pretend that the system is perfect or desirable. But it is most definitely NOT as clearly understood by most of the protestors interviewed.
 
Jenny Jones, the Green party member on the Metropolitan Police Authority who was on the march, said it was important to note that the force "can't win" in its approach to these demos. But the most significant issue, she argued, was a deep and growing lack of trust between the force and the student protesters, exacerbated by kettling on the 24 November protest.

"It is definitely not constructive for the police to stand in a large and intimidating line. It is a shame, because they have got better at this recently. I think the Millbank protest [in which windows were broken at Conservative HQ] was not actually policed too badly, in the sense that I would rather see a broken window in a building than a young person with brain injuries and a [badly injured] police officer."

Erm. Ok. 12m 20s in a lad who looks about 10, in school uniform is blocked from leaving.

see this stuff really disgusts me. The look on that kids face is not hatred or fear but utter confusion.

The copper doesn't give a fuck. He's been given orders and he is following orders. This is not about law, implementing public order or indeed his duty of care.

Every piece of shit who wears (or has worn) a coppers uniform has little knowledge (and even less understanding) about the law in which they are supposedly enforcing.

Keeping order is a political tactic. How it is done is an operational consideration. The law in which they should be acting under doesn't even come into it, - the cps lawyers will see you right in court.
 
So when they say they / their family cannot afford to pay the fees up front you agree that is an accurate description of the proposed scheme then, yes? :confused:

Link?

There is a tiny minority whose families can afford to pay their fees up-front. The rest will be saddled with £40-50k's worth of debt from the very start of their working lives. Most of them will never earn very much - hence the IFS estimate that around 50% will still owe money at the end of 30 years. They are saying that it is not possible for them to take on this kind of debt given their expected future earnings. And they're right. Those that sell themselves to the highest bidder by joining the City or the police force will be fine. The vast majority will not.
 
Even brian paddick got it wrong about wearing masks on channel 4 news.

And he was a fucking commander.

The clueless twat.

Yeah, cos that's be a really sensible thing to do: stick squaddies in police uniform over their combats and not give them numbers, just so as they'll blend in like ...

You're another paranoid fool who needs help mate ... :rolleyes:

Why would they even do this before drafting in officers from other forces? Total nonsense. It was bloody cold, of course someone might wear another pair of trousers underneath. Camo trousers are hardly unique to the army either :facepalm:
 
Apart from the fact that someone could have been killed at the Millbank protest, and the building could have been set on fire. How can you possibly argue that there is no risk involved in allowing protestors to smash and burn property.

but someone was killed at the g20 protest. How could the police let that happen? Oh hang on.... :(
