No Shit Sherlock?

Racist police? No, really? Racism tends to go hand in hand with ignorance which is why the disturbing documentary last night didn't really hold any surprises other than showing up the extreme levels of double standards, blinkered attitudes and downright stupidity amongst the latest bunch of police to come under the spotlight for corruption and thuggery.

"I'm a copper yet I happily admit to beating up an Asian bloke just for the sake of it. I will go out and uphold acceptable standards of civilized behaviour." Dear, dearie me.

There should be a simple question to weed these thugs out at the start. Like, "Do you want to be a copper?"

"Yes!"

"Sorry, you failed..."

I certainly don't deny the need for Police, and indeed feel safer with them about and have called on them many times. But the level of hatred and corruption shown last night on the programme just makes you want to move to the North Pole.

Hats off to the reporter, I'm sure his life will become one harassed hell from now. Interesting to see he now faces criminal charges - god help him if they get him down the local nick.
