  1. A fish rots from the head down: the leadership is rotten - Sir Craig Mackey and two other senior officers hid in his car and watched as a constable was being murdered nearby: Cressida Dick was the commander that gave the order to kill innocent electrician Jean Charles deMenezes in that botched security operation in Stockwell. The leaders are politically appointed, incompetent cowards - everything else followed.

  2. Exactly: self defence has been banned.

  3. Never: I was walking down a street in East London when a man skateboarded up to me, put a gun to my face and pulled the trigger (luckily there was nothing in it) - he then turned the gun on a heavily pregnant woman's stomach and pulled the trigger again: she rang the police and they didn't want to know: in the shouting match that followed the gunman called us both 'r*cists (even though neither of us made r*cist comments): the only reason I didn't smash that little b*st*rd's face in is because I KNEW the police would have arrested me and had me charged with a racially motivated assault, with all the consequences it would have led to. They're not just useless, they're dangerous.

  4. A fish rots from the head down: the leadership is rotten - Sir Craig Mackey and two other senior officers hid in his car while a junior constable was being murdered nearby: and I would mention what Cressida Dick did that led to the death of a completely innocent man but the comment will be removed: the leaders are politically appointed incompetent cowards - everything else followed.
