What would happen if everyone who attended the vigil were to turn themselves into their local police station, all on the same prearranged day. Would they also be arrested charged and fined?
 
It appears from the "evidence" one cop gave in court that the police moved as the Vigil turned into , in cops eyes, a " anti police" protest. People were saying unkind things about the cops.

This is what really gets the Met. When their God given place in society starts to be questioned due to the way they behave.

On no accounts is this to be allowed.

Kind of makes sense to me now why they waded in. Even if I don't agree with it.



Really good Twitter this. Lot of detail on the actual court details.

I've had far worse than that said to me in my various call centre jobs and I don't expect anyone to be arrested for that! What's the betting that the cops who took offence are probably the same types who sneer at "snowflakes" and their "hurt feelings" and probably dismiss complaints from members of the public about harassment all the time because "it's just words".

yeh when i worked in market research i was called all sorts of things, and i was just doing customer satisfaction surveys, where we knew they had a certain internet provider! but it was all water off a duck's back because i knew they were mad at the people who offered them a service that wasn't working, i quite enjoyed those calls. if you can't take a few insults from people you don't know you shouldn't be working as a cop
 
It looks like the three were convicted by a magistrate in their absence, and in the absence of any plea. It will be interesting to see what happens in the case of the fourth defendant, who has pleaded not guilty. In particular, becuase the prosecution would have to prove that they were acting without reasonable excuse. Whether or not exercising their rights of free speech and assembly amount to a such an excuse will be a tricky one for the court - those article 10 and 11 rights are qualified i.e. they can be breached if necessary for public safety.

Wayne Couzens accused of more indecent exposures

Wayne Couzens offers no indication of a plea to exposing himself in two Kent towns.

What's the fucking point? How much is this costing? Just let the cunt rot.

I'm less bothered about the costs than the attention this cunt gets as a result, but Pickman's Model is right - it is only reasonable that the other victims of his offences don't have their experience overshadowed by the worst offence he committed. But, other than further appearances in court, I absolutely think that people like this should be condemned to total obscurity, until they die.

Maybe it's important to point out/mark/recognise the failures of the system that allowed him to get away with abusive behaviour for so long, some of which the police knew about (?), where he built up towards kidnap and murder.
Plus as said justice to all the victims

Yeah. It suits them (the system) very nicely if all of the criticism was focused on the perpetrator alone, and his enablers walked away without having to bear any of the responsibility.

Cressida Dick: Sadiq Khan intimidated Met chief into quitting- report

The mayor of London Sadiq Khan has criticised the review, describing it as "clearly biased".
www.bbc.co.uk

On this the head of Met under whose watched this all happened as well as being responsible for the policing of the vigil is now whining that horrid Khan didn't treat her fairly.

Kind of what I'd expect from a top Cop.

But there you go. Her lack of awareness that her actions might have led to her going is typical police behavior.

This is the person who ordered an innocent Brazilian be shot. Yet career went onwards and upwards. The Met is under special measures. But oh no its Khan to blame.

Imo as a Londoner it was one of the better things Khan did.

Met police found to be institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic

Author of landmark report says Met can ‘no longer presume that it has the permission of the people of London to police them’
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Just seen this come on Guardian website.

Already the police are trying to undermine her report. New head of Met is refusing to accept word "institutionally" as to Rowley that is "political" The last thing the police want is someone making policing "political"
