Popular Post stevenl Posted June 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2020 1 hour ago, CorpusChristie said: Here is a more balanced view from the BBC . Right wing terror related arrests went from 6 % to 10 % of all terror related arrests Teenagers posting on-line about kidnapping Prince Harry were part of that group who have been arrested . The reason for the increase from 6 % to 10 % is that the Police now monitor more websites and have introduced measures where people can report posts (to them). Has there been a increase in right-wing activity or are the police now just paying in more attention and therefore a higher arrest rate ? Are the Left Ant Theether mob trying to portray all the statue defenders as being far right extremists and part of the biggest (growing )terror threat in the UK ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-49753325 According to the police there is an increase in right wing activity. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorpusChristie Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 3 minutes ago, Sujo said: Dont be stupid. That is a different discretion. That is a most serious offence. That discretion is when the officer can safely arrest, or maybe wait. Yes that discretion would well be to let the guy go home until a safe arrest can be made. Well yes so they have to arrest him , when they arrest him is irrelevant My point was that its not up to individual police officers whether to arrest people for serious offences I do understand what you mean about police choosing not to arrest offenders because it could put them in danger or escalate the situation if they are heavily outnumbered or out gunned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnybangkok Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 6 hours ago, Sujo said: young man. I was a police officer then a prosecutor. The law is not the law. It is also the intent of the law. If a military officer attended uk parliament in his uniform it is illegal, it is unlawful. So say general mattis attended uk parliament in uniform he should be arrested. But he wouldnt be. Police resources are not to be wasted on frivilous matters and judges frequently berate police for charging people with offences that whilst illegal are not in the spirit or intent for which the law was enacted. Police will often caution an offender instead of arrest because to arrest they will use a lot of resources for little gain. The oath police take is subject to directions from above. If an officer is doing surveillance but notices a jaywalker he isnt going to jeapordise his case just to arrest a jaywalker. But according to you he must. Police are not bound to arrest anyone and everyone breaking the law. They have discretion. Move on. This 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnybangkok Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 6 hours ago, CorpusChristie said: OK, so if you were on patrol in uniform and you saw one man murder another man , would it be up to your discretion to intervene or just walk on by without taking action ? Would it be completely up to your discretion about whether you make an arrest or not , could you just say , "I didnt like the murdered guy either, so, you can go home unarrested"? You talk about "frivolous matters " ; 56 Police officers getting injured and property destroyed is hardly a frivolously matter , two different issues . Yes, "frivolous " matters are often overlooked , but thats not what we are talking about, is it . Even when the man has identified himself as an actual expert in what you are Trying desperately to paint differently from reality, you think now is the time to double down with an example that I could even give you the answer to. Unless of course you were once a policeman AND a prosecutor as well? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that same guy picks up a petrol bomb and fire bombs a house , he needs to get arrested and to face charges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually gone from right to left during this whole movement starting, sick of the racist attitudes. Fight about “left” and “right”, “black and “white”, black statues about dead white people etc is stupid IMO. Nonsense. For what? I also see the westerner news argue about coronavirus and “left” and “right”. Is “Ideology”. Corona not care about left and right. People should work together. Stop argue and fight about “left and right.” Sensible is better. Must use the brain for the situation. Every situation is different. Not follow the ideology of “right” or “left” team. Burning cars, business, fighting each other, etc is stupid. Attack a statue is same children fight about dolls. They not real thing. Not help anything. You say you “gone from left to right”. How you do it? Can you explain a bit for me please. Simple English better. Thankyou 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make it sound like the police just idly sat by whilst criminal activity took place yet the number of arrests immediately negate that argument. Stop trying to fit YOUR bias into YOUR narrative. The facts tell a different story. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matey presumably passed standard vetting in order to be a BTP plod. Whether or not he later lost or did anything to jeopardize his vetting status isn't clear but until the public hear his account in his own words the exact circumstances of what happened last week will remain a mystery. If dozens of cameras and hundreds of people can be caught in the much lauded iconic footage of his alleged rescue why has nothing emerged showing what happened immediately before or afterwards? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
