First, if they went to all that trouble, why mess it up over a simple point like that? And how have they managed to keep them all quiet since? There is a simpler explanation for the police without ID tags. Every week the Met sent several bus loads of "assistance" to the mining areas. A few years earlier there had been the Brixton riots and it was reported at that time that many of the police had "lost" their ID numbers or senior officer insignias.<br /><br />Most forces sent officers into these areas and some of them came back with much altered views of the Met, and not in a postive sense.SteveBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-48241792162986706262015-06-13T23:40:35.426+01:002015-06-13T23:40:35.426+01:00More to the point, the reasoning of 'it was a ...More to the point, the reasoning of 'it was a long time ago and blah' doesn't exactly stand up.

We don't have an issue investigating and charging people over those things.Andy McDonaldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-74309230072496370792015-06-13T16:16:20.481+01:002015-06-13T16:16:20.481+01:00Hows about this then?

Every copper on duty that day is considered guilty and must prove their innocence of assault and subsequent fabrication of evidence, or shop those they know did commit criminal offences. Its how the rest of us are increasingly treated by the authorities these days.Andy Cnoreply@blogger.com
