Police stopping/arresting the woman with the megaphone. Crowd chanting. 'Let her speak' 'Shame on you' and booing.

 

[girasol]

Wow, very impressed by turnout, watching live feed now.

 

[SheilaNaGig]

They're not letting people speak so it's becoming a protest.

Let her speak
Shame on you
Who's street our streets
No justice no peace
Arrest your own

 

[Treacle Toes]

'Arrest your own'

 

[SheilaNaGig]

"Give it back" ?
The megaphone?

I have a bad feeling that this case will drag on and eventually the courts will reduce his sentence or pardon him. Absolutely terrible terrible news, there has also been a lack of action for the double murders of Nicole Smallman and Bibaa Henry, and no doubt many others in North and S. London that I'm not aware of at this moment. I do hope meaningful change comes out all of this but I'm jaded enough to imagine the British media will manufacture some other non-issue to distract away from this and it will just be something that just trucks on in the ever present background.

Must be absolutely terrible for her family and those who knew her, I hope the vigils can provide a little consolation at the very least.

As for the copper, may he rot in pieces.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Phones up, lights on, blinding the police cameras and obscuring the crowds' faces.

'Police go home'

 

[marshall]

Pardon him? No, I don’t think so.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Not the most astute headline in the circumstances

 

[BusLanes]

The video from Clapham Common is quite something.

Or "Teenage girl defends self after being grabbed" FFS

 

[bimble]

Man attacks girl who is walking along a path isn’t news tho is it.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Woman defends herself.

Quite simple.

 

[Poot]

Woman defends herself.

Quite simple.

From man.

The man is usually in the passive voice or just assumed.

This is actually deranged. Are you OK?

If he manages to plead diminished responsibility it could be possible. The police are a gang after all, they are not bound by legal protocol, only circumventing it.

It’s incredibly unlikely. Because he’s police.

Exactly, he’s going down for a long, long time.

The cop gang protection stuff doesn't cover this kind of crime. He's going to prison for the rest of his life if he's not offed before he makes it that far.

 

[marshall]

Yep, reckon they’d string him up if they could.

 

[marshall]

Well, they can. I guess.

 

[teqniq]

So much for the Met banning the rally lol.

 

[ManchesterBeth]

If he is offed though, that's a kind of pardoning, albeit not one he'll be able to witness. But it will clean their hands.

Accept my original post didn't indicate that though, because this would not be a pardoning in legal terms.

You can't make something mean something it doesn't mean just by saying it you know.

See edit to my post.

 

[killer b]

See edit to my post.

Extrajudicial killing isn't a pardon in any terms though.

the idiots. i cant watch but seriously how stupid a decision is that, mind boggles.
Its not like they are unaware that there are existing issues of trust.
Some copper was here in the park after dark the other week in his car parked up asking my friend who had visited me what they were up to (covid regs), i'd be very unhappy about that now.
