How Come I've Never Experienced Police Brutality?

[Sean]

No, he isn't. He might be the Bishop of Woolwich:

You could be right. I heard him on R4 the other morning.

 

[RobDownSouth]

It wasn't that hard.

You've never experienced it first-hand, ergo, it doesn't exist!
Magical thinking! Magical!

 

[hobbit.]

Ogg.. thats not exactly stop and search though is it?

I have also interacted with the police in my youth, on one occasion i was stopped for driving at 33 MPH in a 30 zone - which i dispute because with a police car behind you, as a youth you stick below the speed limit. the bit of conversation of interest -

Cop - 'what speed do you claim you were doing'' ?

me ''less than 30''

Cop, ''it was 33''

me '' i doubt it''

cop '' tough shit son, when it goes to court who will the magistrates believe - you or serving police officer''

on anothe occasion i was stopped, again driving a car -

cop '' is this your vehicle'' ?

me '' yes''

cop ''whats the registration number''

Me '' its on the number plate''

cop '' really son, watch your mouth''

cop takes reg number radios it in, it comes back as a motor bike!

me ''do you want to nick me? after all you could try to convince the magistrate that this is a motorbike''

the point being - even cops have a day by day back story - like most humans really.

During my work though (previous life stuff) i have met some complete dick head cops upto and including chief constable level.

The above quote illustrates where white privilege takes place. The post describes the mindset of the two different drives. One realizes he was speeding and is going to have to pay a fine the other sees himself as a victim.

The statistics do not support the concept that when black people are pulled over for speeding that the police kill them. Not that it doesn't happen but statistically it is rare enough to be on par with death by lighting strike. But the fake news and socialist power mongers fuel the fear and the anger in order to keep their knee on the neck of black folks. So far it has been working pretty good but more and more black people are waking up to the fact that the democratic party has exploited race in order to keep black society in poverty and economic slavery.

DPshelly showing her racist ignorance again...ok Shelly show a link to those statistics. Right now the chance of a black person dying from an interaction with the police in the US is 1:1000. The chance of being struck by lighting is 1:700,000.
I can back up both those statistics, you show me your....

Here's some factoids for you:

Last year there were 10,400,000 arrests in the United States. There were 1041 shootings in the U.S.

41 of those were against unarmed citizens, of those 41, nine were black males, 19 were white males.

Cops were 18 times more likely to be killed by a black man than a black man was likely to be killed by a cop.

There were 89 cops killed in the line of duty in 2019.

You were right, Bot.

About Sean's "fuck the pigs" and "I'm an anarchist" posturing.
And I envision a different picture, should Cops ever stop him.

Remember also when Lance started making fun of his "If you have a blacklist, I want to be on it" siggy,
given Sean's numerous complaints to management?

He took it down the next day.
F. hilarious.

During my work though (previous life stuff) i have met some complete dick head cops upto and including chief constable level.

Locally, as part of my community work, I have interacted with the Police at all levels from PCSO to local force commander. Some of them, of any rank, can be stupid arseholes but the people they deal with normally are even more stupid.

I have been stopped by the police as a car driver twice:

1. I and a friend were driving to Plymouth in an ancient and unreliable 1951 Ford Prefect. We were on the A38 just beyond Exeter in the early hours of the morning when we were suddenly stopped by a police car swerving in front of us.

They were looking for two escaped prisoners. As requested, we got out of the car and stood looking down at the policemen. The escaped prisoners were five feet four and five feet six. We were both well over six feet tall.

We were allowed to proceed, but our sudden stop had dislodged the exhaust pipe from the exhaust manifold. We had to reattach it with wire before we crawled away, trying not to make too much noise. Half a mile further on, the exhaust pipe fell off again. We drove the rest of the way to Plymouth very noisily.

2. Much later, I was again on my way to Plymouth, this time in a much-modified saloon car that had been a saloon car racer in its youth. At the time I didn't know that but was disappointed by the fuel consumption which seemed high. The speedometer also seemed to show higher speeds than the model would have been capable of when new.

On the Honiton bypass, again in the early hours of the morning, I thought I'd see just how fast the car would go. The speedometer seemed to show a ridiculous speed, far more than the design speed, even for the versions with a police specification engine.

Suddenly I heard a police car's bell very close but I couldn't see any police car. I slowed down and pulled over to a stop. The police were in a Daimler SP250 sports car which was below my rear window. They had sounded their bell because they were at the top speed limit of their car and I was pulling away.

They had recorded my speed as 113 miles an hour and accelerating. They couldn't understand it. I was driving what had been a police car in the early 1950s but the police never got more than 90 mph out of their versions.

The Police sergeant, who had driven one of those police cars, had a look under the bonnet. I had triple carburettors, a six branch exhaust, twin petrol pumps, both turned on, the second by a switch under the dashboard I had never noticed, four-wheel disc brakes, an uprated suspension etc.

The car had been extensively and expensively modified. Eventually, I had to notify my insurers who upped my insurance premium by 35%.

But the sergeant decided NOT to give me a ticket. If I appeared in court, the magistrate, who had been a police driver in his youth, wouldn't believe the recorded speed. But he recommended that I should turn the second fuel pump off. My fuel consumption improved from 8 miles per imperial gallon to 14 but it was still capable of illegal speeds.

His perpetual anger towards law enforcement could mean an extensive criminal record and an abundance of unsavory interactions with law enforcement.

You were probably away at the time,
but he WAS sporting at one point "If you have a blacklist, you'd better put me on it" sigline,
and he took it down right after Lance started making fun of it & his snitching on posters.

Funniest shit!

I have been stopped for a stop and search by the Police only once.

I was returning after Christmas with my parents to a new-to-me flat in Southsea. Normally I would have gone by train to Portsmouth Harbour and used a taxi. But because of engineering works the last train terminated at an earlier station where there were no taxis.

I was carrying a large suitcase and had about a mile to walk. I had never walked from that station to the flat but I had a street plan of Portsmouth and Southsea.

After about half a mile I wasn't sure which road to take. I stopped by a lighted shop window to consult the street plan. A police car screeched to a halt beside me and the two policemen jumped out.

They wanted to know what I was doing and wanted to look in my suitcase. I opened it for them to show the clean washing my mother had folded for me.

"Is that your electric razor, sir?"

"No. It's my travelling alarm clock," I replied.

They had stopped me because the lighted shop window was a jewellers.

They asked if I had any identity documents on me. I produced my dockyard pass with my photo and rank.

They saluted me. Why not?

My dockyard pass identified me as having the courtesy rank of Major, Royal Marines.

They gave me a lift to my flat.

In 1967 I bought a new Sunbeam Alpine. Cute little car. It didn't like to start in rainy weather or in cold weather. I lived in a suburb south of Chicago. In the winter, I'd wake up at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning, put on a pair of pants, a shirt, some boots and my winter jacket, and went out to the parking lot to start the Sunbeam. I usually just sat in it for 20 minutes to get it warm. One night, after about five minutes, I decided to take a little ride. I drove to the next major street west of where I lived and turned north. After driving for a few miles, I decided to turn around in the parking lot of a two-story building where new furniture was sold. I was the only car on the road and the entrance to the lot was a semi-circle. I turned right, drove slowly to the exit, and came to a full stop. Then I turned left and started to drive back to my apartment. very soon the red and blue lights of a police car were visible in my mirror. I pulled to the side of the road and stopped. I rolled down the window as the officer approached my car. He asked me for my driver's license. I explained that my driver's license was in my wallet which was in my bedroom. I didn't take my wallet with me at that hour because when I went outside my intention was merely to start my car and sit in it in the parking lot. He asked if I had any identification on me. I said that I was wearing an identification bracelet that had my first and last name on it and my car registration was in the glove box. I showed him the registration paper and then handed him my bracelet. He said that he could write a ticket for driving without a license. I told him that I knew that would be a waste of time because when I went to court and showed the judge that I do have a license which would not expire until June of the next year, my case would be dismissed. The cop agreed. I asked him why he stopped me. He told me that there had been some recent burglaries in the furniture store. I offered to open the trunk of the Alpine to show him that I didn't have any furniture in it, but he said that wouldn't be necessary.

He wishes!!!
I think he's one of the most law-abiding citizens,
and he'd wet his pants if cops stopped him.

He doesn't even use his N.Ireland/British citizen passport, he chucked it out for the all-British one.

Here's some factoids for you:


There were 89 cops killed in the line of duty in 2019.

48 by gunfire, plus two shot by other cops:

22 in vehicle accidents, most by their own driving errors.

So what you're admitting, Tim, is that your first post in this thread was a lie. Thread's only two pages, one would think you could point us at the post you were referring to.
