    Another interesting article on corruption in the Met

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/exclusive-police-corruption-cannot-be-eliminated-admits-head-of-specialmet-unit-following-independent-stories-9070682.html

    "When asked about some of the inexplicable features of the Met’s repeated investigations into the murder of Daniel Morgan, a private detective found in a south London car park with an axe embedded in his skull in 1987 amid claims he was about to blow the whistle on links between the Met and organised crime, Mr Bonthron is sensitive."

    Seriously some copper pushed you once in a protest, get over it move on.

    The met is a huge police force no doubt some of it apples are bad. On the flip side more spend their days doing a thankless job very well.

    Seriously, you weren't there and you clearly haven't read my post detailing it. I'll hilight the corruption in the Met whenever I see fit, thanks. Hypocritical folk operating above the law should not be swept under the carpet. Once you start to make excuses for the bad apples, we get worse stuff happening because they feel they can get away with it.

    Here's that post again #333

    I was on an anti war march, I stepped to the side of the march so I could use my mobile. An officer grabbed me and said "are you on the march or not" and pushed me back into the road. A few people saw this and said I should get his number but I couldn't be bothered. It was just a shove. Later, we were kettled into an alleyway and people started running. I was grabbed by a couple of officers and shook up, before being thrown into a load of refuse sacks. They were all laughing.

    Best of luck with that then.

    And like you also stated rather than report it and give the met a chance to do anything about it you didn't because they're all mean and stuff.

    Can you not walk and talk at the same time? I mean, a cop shoving you! Jesus, assault. If this is not a case of persecution complex or attention seeking then I'm Inspector Knacker of The Yard.
    As in your post a few days ago, scumbags, muggers, sexual deviants - all have it in for you. And now the cops. Have you ever ........ just for a moment ..... thought, "why is all this stuff happening to me?"
    The Man In The Mirror has a lot to answer to IMO.

    Yep. Exactly like that. Considering all the factors and other experiences, friends, situations and people I know in the force and out of the force. That's precisely it.

    I should have reported it but I didn't. I didn't get their numbers as I was still dazed and the mood was real unpleasant. Maybe I should have tried to ask them politely to give me their names and all that but I didn't. Mea culpa.

    Ah, Wily, Wily. This is not the first time you've had a dig at me, isn't it?

    The jibe about my sexuality the other day and now the "you must be asking for it" old chestnut.

    Weak. Very weak.

    yet that police force seems to have and have had a hell of a lot of bad apples

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.
