Fascism 👇🏾

After the fatal shooting in a police station by a handcuffed suspect of Sgt Matt Ratana, ⁦National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC)⁩ chair Martin Hewitt pledges that “whatever learning there is to take from that incident is undertaken and shared across the service.”

Policing needs a balanced workforce. The Met, more than almost all other forces, sacrificed its police staff under austerity (the political imperative was to protect police officer numbers). #policeworkforce

it's almost as if we should join some sort of club with nearby countries to tackle our labour shortages

They shot a black man asleep in a car in north London and five years later there may be a disciplinary hearing.

Ooooh. I dunno. Perhaps train people so this shortage is over in 24 months?

BBC Memories 2: This is the device, with headphones and mic attached, that brought you all those early morning 2-ways from my spare room. I’m sure it was safety-tested. Once.

Waiting to hear that we shouldn’t breathalyse drivers based on smelling alcohol either 🤷🏼‍♂️

Besides being inhumane, how are we protecting the public by the brutalisation and dehumanisation of those incarcerated?

but are they breaking the law in a very specific and limited way?

So immigration is good and needed for the UK? Who would have thought it?

This needs reading carefully.....There are implications for Policing at all levels....

BBC memories 10: I’ve reported on and met ten Home Secretaries since I started covering home affairs in 1998. I’ve interviewed them all - except for Priti Patel. That’s one of my regrets.

May I respectfully suggest it’s not the training that needs overhauling, it’s the entire CJS and sanctions for violence against Police and other 999 workers. There is no fear of sanctions or the CJS, leading to violence escalating and thuggish behaviour becoming normalised...

What utter nonsense... Police tactics only 'look bad' because they public haven't been educated about them... And now the bosses decide not to take an opportunity to do so... Utterly fuckwitted... Yet again those leading lions turn out to be donkeys... 😠😠😠

Brexit - robbing us of the right to live, work, study and retire across 30 countries while damaging our economy. Brexit is an act of destruction, won through the worst abuses of democracy in modern British political history. Brexit is a crime. Brexit is a coup.

This is interesting ...
