  • Police---institutionally racist

    The Killing of a Brazilian man shows that either the British police are nervous, inexperienced and naive, or it was a deliberate act by the police to give a message to foreigners, especially coloured people. It is disgusting to hear all British politicians, including George Galloway, using decades-old stereotypes to praise police and security services. Presumably they do so because the police in Britain are seen as protectors. Their presence is seen as reassurance for the public as they are (…)

    Police gun down worker in London subway: another tragic consequence of Blair’s war policy
    The public state execution of Jean Charles de Menezes in a London subway carriage on July 22 marks a watershed.
    England, the country of the Magna Carta, is now one in which innocent civilians can be shot dead on the capital’s streets at the discretion of the police, without any explanation, much less justification, and with the only outcome being a brief statement of regret.
    Eyewitnesses have (…)

  • Scary Police State emerges in UK and USA

    The powers that be are taking us down another notch towards a total police state. What should cause public outrage is being swept aside as par for the course in today’s world of terror attacks.
    London police just chased down a man and shot him- after they had him detained and he did NOT appear to be a threat.
    He was pinned down on the floor and shot through the head five times- is that ok with you?!
    If he had a bomb strapped on him, why didn’t the police remove his coat to prove it? (…)

    Did Karl Rove Lie to the FBI?
    By Jason Leopold
    Looks like Karl Rove did break the law, the same federal law that got Martha Stewart sentenced to six months in prison.
    It now appears that Rove, President Bush’s chief of staff, may have lied to the FBI in October 2003-a federal crime-when he was questioned by federal agents who were investigating the source responsible for leaking the true identity of an undercover CIA operative to the media.
    During questioning by the FBI about his (…)

  • Police of a civilised society killed a man...

    They killed a man in daylight. Police and security services are main beneficiaries of The ’war on terror’. State and its institutions are frighteningly powerful. They want more powers. They are unaccountable, unchecked and are presentened as ’protectors’. Here is what happened in London on 22 July 2005. Are we living in a civilised society?? The controlled the man or suspect. If had a bomb, why would they sit on the top of him and kill him? if he was unarmed why didn’t they arrested him. (…)

    "It’s saddam’s fault for the torture, he trained them...see!" - Bush apologist IRAQI security forces, set up by American and British troops, torture detainees by pulling out their fingernails, burning them with hot irons or giving them electric shocks, Iraqi officials say. Cases have also been recorded of bound prisoners being beaten to death by police.
