The former head of the met said ‘when we heard what he did we said we don’t consider him a police officer’. It literally doesn’t matter what any of them do. The institution protects itself. Nothing to do with Twitter, public opinion, the law, anything. It’s rotten to the core. They will take no responsibility for anything ever. Any police officer who does something illegal is either protected by the met or has done something so illegal and unethical that they cannot be protected and thrown overboard. That’s how it works. The institution is corrupt.
The public outrage doesn’t matter one fucking bit. It hasnt effected anything. You’re just weirdly annoyed about a bunch of people you don’t know who weren’t speaking to you to stop being a creep and you’re mad about it months later.
The Met killed Mark Duggan and the public opinion concentrating on it resulted in… absolutely no change and they sent anyone who participated in said public outrage to jail for 2-3x longer than the offence they comitted suggested sentence was to teach them a lesson.
Unless the outrage is anything less than ‘I think we should round them all up and kill them’ and it succeeds. Who cares?
Yeah, you're right, no-one should ever bother focusing protest or outrage properly again.
Yevrah, to put it plainly… in the middle of a petrol shortage caused by absolutely nothing. I don’t think misplaced public outrage matters at all. Unless it’s the entire country ganging together and murdering/imprisoning the upper echelons of society in a bolshevikesque revolution. It doesn’t matter.
The people who let Saville rape kids, cover up the Duggan murder, let this shit happen, it’s all the same people.
That's sort of the point I'm making, in that so many of these public outrages are so misplaced these days they've lost before they've even started and it's giving those who've fucked up the easiest ride ever.
Technically you’re misplacing your outrage right now.
The whole #shewasjustwalkinghome and wolf whistle thing was before anyone knew it was a copper in the first place. Then we found out and the coppers turned up to her vigil and smashed peoples heads in for daring to turn up to it. And we’ve since spent the next year having to listen to Milwall fans And GB News saying it’s cultural Marxism to say it’s bad.
Hang on, didn't we know after about a day it was a copper?
Just remembered the irony of those coppers smashing heads in citing ‘covid regulations’ and got real sad.
Saw your post Yev I’ll check but I don’t think that’s true.
Also absolutely perfect that the cops clearly beat the shit out of him for making them look bad and covered it up.
On 10 March, the day Everard's remains were discovered, Couzens was re-arrested on suspicion of murder.[20] On 11 March, Couzens was hospitalised following a head injury sustained in custody; he was again briefly hospitalised the following day after a similar injury.[4][37] After the incident on 11 March, police said the injury was sustained while he was alone in his cell.[38

3rd para from the bottom is brilliant.

I'm not sure 'He punched himself in the face, honest guv, wink wink' constitutes a cover-up.
I'm also not sure "we kicked the shit out of him" needs covering up too much in cases like this. Wrong as it may be, it probably has most people's support. I'd have got a few kicks in.
I doubt there was any internal excuse making about what did or didn't happen when he was in custody, probably more like this:

Lol at this from the defence
That was after he set her on fire and dumped her in a pond aye?"But he did all he could after he was arrested to minimise the wicked harm that he did and in our respectful submission there is reason to draw back from what the prosecution invite you to do."
Can you imagine rocking up for work and finding out your job for the next six months is defending that thing.
So he put her out, that has to count for something.
Whole life sentence.
Some of the quote tweets are the best.
Thousands firedstill not enough but the most possible. sobbing. this shouldn’t have had to happen, there were massive massive failures in the system that allowed this to happen that need to be addressed and changed immediately. a complete overhaul with hundreds - if not thousands - fired.
I see it's national shit on the police day again. Imagine if we had a flawless organisation of 50,000 odd people who never fucked up. That would be a fine day.
I reckon one district of London (let's make it the safest one, to make things fair, and keep commutes short) should be handed over to a force of Guardian columnists for a year, on police pay of course, with all the relevant training provided. Let's see how well they get on.
Her name wasn't that bad mate.
He has a point, in that if her name was Latifa or Noora he wouldn't have given enough of a fuck to send that tweet.
I don't consume lots of lots of UK news, but what I have seems to be weirdly focused on the fact that he was a copper... Are people expecting such a large organisation to have no complete nut jobs in its employ? Presumably he didn't kill her because he was a copper, more that he was a bit of a mentalist. Also, the vast majority of murder victims are men, yet, once again, this is being phrased as a 'women aren't safe on the streets'. It's a bit weird.
Has anyone reported on how short her skirt was?
I'm a twit
Lewis declared shorts season over, so I am guessing that she was wearing pants.
Shakira: Singer attacked by a pair of wild boars https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-58747464
I think that story has everything.
How about
Don’t follow us around the park
Don’t roar at us
Don’t steal our purses
Don’t force us to shoot you and shoot our partners instead
Her name was Shakira.

"They're picking us off like game." An actual quote from today from the wrinkled Reclaim These Streets founder.
There's no deceit in that.
Humoristic has to be the most autist word used to describe a prank.
"He stirred up my curatorial staff and he also stirred me up a bit, but I also had a laugh because it was really humoristic,"

Lmao what a maggot. Pretty great seeing him realise he's fucked.
Yeah, sure. Criminals pressure policemen into doing crime all the time.
It was a very shit cover story/attempted cover up considering he must have had some understanding of just how hard it is to get away with murdering somebody, so you wonder whether the urge to do it is so strong that you just convince yourself that yeah they will buy that shit cover story, won't catch me if I hire a car, etc. The fucking mongs who stab people in broad daylight, or kill their own kids and say they dropped them, are literally just that. They genuinely don't have the intelligence to consider things like the million CCTV cameras or forensics. But he can't be one of those, which is another thing that makes is all the more noncey.
It's very strange. He's clearly thought about it for ages and planned it in detail, but the plan involves hiring a car in his own name and then driving it around, and committing the crime, in the middle of London. Can't possibly have thought he would get away with it.
It would stand to reason that you could convince yourself that your plan/cover story would work. People convince themselves of all sorts of shit in all walks of life for lower stakes reasons - political shit, anti-vaccine, Mark Duggan was murdered, Juventus are good - so if you really, really, really wanted to rape somebody, but were still capable of thinking beyond the initial impulse (unlike a lot of criminal retards), you could surely talk yourself into thinking your scheme was a winner.
Must have been a power thing, wanting to do it with his badge in London. Probably could have ended up on the leaderboards if he'd done it in the middle of nowhere.
Is why I find that show where people have to evade being found so fascinating. I think I’d be really good at it.
