Damned, whatever they do!

Police have launched an urgent review after exposing a woman's underwear during an arrest at a Kill the Bill demonstration.

Pictures show officers lifting the woman off the ground as her jeans fall down, during Saturday's protest in Manchester city centre.

Greater Manchester Police admitted the picture makes for 'uncomfortable viewing,' while mayor Andy Burnham has demanded a 'full explanation' from the force.

 

I am actually really shocked by the above and the picture that went with it that showed a woman being lifted and quite obviously her jeans had slipped down her legs.

This can happen when you try to tackle, control, subdue someone who is breaking the law.

So what am I shocked at - I am shocked at the fake outrage from the likes of Andy Burnham and others. Where was their similar public outrage and condemnation when the police were subjected to women CHOOSING to defecate on their boots, pissing on the offices clothes and shields and in one instance undressing totally (so no, her underwear was not on show!) and parading in front of the officers naked committing a blatant public indecency act?

I do feel for the Police at times. It seems no matter what they do they are used as a political football by dead weights like Andy Burnham and others to suit their need to be in the limlelight, the spotlight or just to show how woke" they are.

It's about time we took our Officers less for granted and appreciated the job they do and how the majority of them go about it, with decency and respect, every day.

Agreed mate.

Here's a section of the report from Londons Protests and the Independent review of it.

"We found that there are some things the Met could have done better, but we saw nothing to suggest police officers acted in anything but a measured and proportionate way in challenging circumstances."

Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Louisa Rolfe said officers had acted "sensibly and proportionately... given we remain in a public health crisis" and "spent considerable time engaging, explaining and encouraging before considering any enforcement action".

This is How the BBC have just reported this same independent report "The force came under intense criticism after women were handcuffed and removed from crowds on Clapham Common.

An inspectorate found that officers did not communicate enough on the night - but the response had been "measured".

I see the BBC are reporting that the police were vindicated and that the politicians were criticised for uninformed knee jerk reactions and unclear laws.

It is a bit worrying that the politicians seen to want to attack the police at every opportunity to make themselves look good. Nothing like promoting anarchy and lawlessness

Politicians do seem to be driven by social media reactions. Their number one priority is to protect their re-election prospects.

I was posting this just to show how much, STILL, the BBC and other news "Organisations" are slanting their anti-police message....plus trying not to make themselves look too stupid for their previous coverage.

have a look how nottinghamshire police have harassed alex belfied on the say so of the BBC (british bullying corp) from you tube, absolutely abhorrent

[andydclements]

Politicians set the laws which currently are interpreted as meaning such protests / vigils were illegal and those laws were to protect against a fairly large threat (now much diminished). I cannot see how the police were wrong in trying to uphold the law.

If there was a fault, it's with the politicians in not being clear that such things were allowed, if that's what they honestly meant to be. If they didn't want such events to be legal, then support the police. So @Kimbers I do feel for you and your colleagues who are merely trying to do the right thing but are failed time and time again.

I need to remember to wear a belt when I go out and protest. That's about all I got out of it. Well, that and Mom was right about always wearing clean underwear just in case... 🧐
