It is definitely a frigged up world.
The police IMO and IME will do anything to stick together. A lot, not all might I add, are bullies on a power trip.
Just as an example. A good friend of mine got into a bit of an altercation at one of his own house parties. A chivvy neighbour came round and Aaron ending up sending him back into the street unconscious.
Police arrived about 30 mins later. There were 3 service Royal Marines in the house, a solicitor, teacher and about 4 other people. they tried to laugh it off and the police got shirty and Aaron asked them to leave his house, at which they tried to arrest him. One of the RM'S filmed the lot on his mobile. When they got to the station the desk sergeant wrote down the charges and apparently my friend had assaulted the officer by biting him on the left ankle. To which the second attending officer confirmed.
It went to court, Aaron was looking at 2-3 years in jail and a large fine... even with the video evidence provided by the Marine and witness statements.
The only reason he was acquitted was because the Assaulted officer stated that he had been bitten on the right ankle, where as his statement on admission to the station was his left ankle.
So they not only lied, the other officer confirmed the story, only for them to drop them selves in the shit by forgetting one of the most critical part of the lies.
Any they wonder why we don't trust coppers...?
