The suggestion the entire Metropolitan Police Service is responsible, might be pushing it a bit

It would be shocking then if he uses a defence, "this is what I was taught in training".

Looks very difficult to justify. Can't imagine what the hell he was thinking.

Just watched the gideo on the Telegraph's site.
It's not that bad imho, however in todays climate the thick twat will be suspended for a long time and may lose his job.
He will have the racist epithet follow him around for years if not for ever.

It’s good of the article to make the explicit point that the bloke being arrested was black.

Good ole BBC never change

Yeah, they have a quite incredible agenda against the police at the moment. Photoshopping weapons out of BLM protestors hands was a particularly sinister moment.

The force confirmed it had charged a 45-year-old man with possession of a knife in a public place.

I'm sure he's a good upstanding citizen of the UK

There was a very carefully cropped photo of a "protestor" swinging a plank of wood at the police officer.

The BBC did that? That is appalling.

I have no problem the police kneeling on someone’s neck to subdue them, obviously not for an extended period however if you want to be treated gently stop fucking resisting.

Funny things you see in society these days, exactly what happens when you give people who are lowly paid and miserable as sin any power.
We live in a nation of wall to wall resent'tards, meanspirited finger jabbers, who wouldn't be out of place on the towers of Belsin... contained only by the fact you used to be able to scream fuck off at them.
Now you can't, now they can get away with it. You Walk into a supermarket and the workers (sorry key workers) love nothing more than flexing their authority.

Can you step back please sir!!!

But you was just hugging your colleague, right there just now. You sure she's alright? Oh , and this stuff is in the air, hanging like a death cloud for hours, indoors, and I am the only one of us wearing a mask, (OK two masks). Right, I'll step back.. feel better?

Perhaps you're just triggered. I reckon the kid at the supermarket is just as pissed off having to tell people what they should already know. They'd probably rather be sonewhere else.

The issue there being if someone is asphyxiating me, I'm going to resist too. [/notQuagmire]

Any link for the photoshopping of weapons out of protesters hands by the BBC?

The guy was shouting he can’t breathe multiple times?

Literally shouting.

Indeed, they may well have used a different programme to crop out the weapon. I do all my crops in Lightroom rather than Photoshop.

I'm not going to waste any time looking for it but there was another image where the weapon was actually photoshopped out. It was quite heavily reported at the time and the BBC apologised.

For something heavily reported, it's pretty hard to find

Yes bikes can often be fixed with knives.

I didn't know they did that. What bollocks. It was bad enough the way they described many BLMs protests as peaceful when they were anything but. No wonder the BBC has ever falling credibility problems with the public.

They didn't do it.

Cheers.
"The broadcaster originally showed the image of police behaving aggressively towards people during the protests this weekend."
How TF do either of those pics show the police behaving aggressively?!!

Poor by the beeb regardless.

Was thinking the same. There is a difference between cropping and 'shopping. No debate about the intent if the latter occurred.

IMO the picture has more impact with the stick included . Cropping or shopping the intent is clear. It's a bit worrying because the BBC tends to be my main news resource. I expect some impartiality at least.

Big claim + no evidence = not true.

I just watched the video on this and it did not live up to the hype. The ridiculous sensationalism of stuff like this makes you realise that politicians and the media have created a climate which makes it very difficult for police officers to do their jobs.

On the one hand they say (as David Lammy did last Friday) that the govt needs to do more to address knife crime. Then, when cops apprehend a guy with a knife and it doesnt go quite according to plan opportunists like Sadiq Khan and Corbyn seize the chance to make political capital out of it and to throw the officer under the bus. The four star general at the Met put the boot in also.

Based on this, the interventions of the general public at the time of the incident and the subsequent protests afterward the police are quite obviously operating with very little visible, moral or tangible support. As a police officer in the era of the smart phone you are one bad interaction with a black person away from having your career and reputation ruined.
