It's grim oop norf

[Doctor Gollum]

Are they open yet ? 😄

A church, by its purest definition, is a gathering of like minded people. The noun given to the building we know of as a 'church' is a symbolic gesture.

Ergo, the good Lord's 'church' could either be his private chapel, or an open field where people might gather (in a suitably socially distanced manner). And as it's a nice day... 

. 


Hallelujah praise the Lord..

is that the best you've got?

Did anyone see the 75 year old activist pushed over by the cops and left bleeding from his head on the street?

The media described it as police pushing over a 75 year old man. Very little was done.

If the old man had been black the media would have described it as white policeman pushing over an elderly black man and then leaving him for dead.

Imagine the riots.

The cop has been charged , the other members of the riot team have resigned in protest , apparently the old guy "slipped" 😀

I believe that two officers were suspended without pay after this incident. The entire squad of 75 of their colleagues then resigned over that suspension. I'm unsure whether these guys are actually police, or some sort local professional riot squad. A lot of "policing" in the U.S. seems to be done by private security firms who are hired by local police chiefs or local politicians.  I can't find any verification of the mass resignation on MSM so i stand ready to be corrected on this. Note... Rangie has just posted this too, so it's out there somewhere.

That isn't what happened... Watch the original footage again.

The man stepped towards the advancing police line. He was pushed away by one or two officers in the line and stumbled backwards. Other 'protesters' tried to get to him, but were kept back. A third officer waited beside the man as the line passed in order to prevent him from being trampled. As soon as the line passed, the man was attended to by medics in camouflage fatigues.

The whole incident took all of 10-15 seconds. It's clear from the footage that when he lost his footing he fell back and smacked his head hard on the pavement, knocking himself out. I suspect that he will spend a week or so in hospital with a nasty concussion.

This was a situation of his own making, and whether shoving him back was appropriate force, is a difficult call to make, given the police line was clearly advancing. The fact that the entire unit has stepped down suggests that they believe the two officers behaved appropriately.

I'm glad it amused you.

An actual, unbiased account of the incident and its outcome, including an insight into how the law in New York is structured and applied...

Missed that when i looked at the Beeb website yesterday.    Must have got sidetracked by the reams of Covid related stuff.

It didn't amuse me in the slightest totally unprofessional , I was amused by their terminology smacks of something from the 1960s when anything went. A man of 75 should have known better than to attempt to try & intimidate Officers whose adrenaline levels would have been sky high. After all those years in various uniformed services I'm aware that some may find my comments a bit sharp but tough shit.

After watching the video three times now I have to come to the same conclusion.

Anyone with any sense, especially someone of 75, does not only stand in the way, but actually approach police officers in that mode of operation.  You are a fool to do it in our country, let alone in the USA with their officers knowing that the opposing individual is very possibly  armed.

I can only see the police officers holding their palms out to push him back, just as our police officers are trained to do and the man goes backwards it seems as if he wants to, because the natural reaction is first to lean towards the police officers, but he does not.  Instead he goes backwards, dare I say quite voluntary, and then decides to fall down.  A fit up if ever there was!!

This is the danger now.  Police officers worldwide will have to be extremely careful, even when THEY are in extreme danger protecting us, the  decent, law abiding folk, to avoid accusations of "police brutality", even when they are just pushing back against a threatening force that knows others in authority will push the liberal "Human Rights" button on every occasion possible.

What happened in the US when Floyd, a convicted criminal involved in further alleged criminality, was given the judge, jury and executioner treatment by police officers acting out of all proportion, is totally inexcusable, but that is no excuse for giving police officers an even harder time when properly enforcing the law in the interests of the majority.

[Rangie]

Totally agree Lizzie , also in the report that was emailed to me he is a well known activist in that area, if that's true of course. The whole world is on a very slippery slope at present & I fear we have let it slip too far to try & bring it back now.
