• Just remembered a similar story that happened to a French friend of mine in Paris. He was on in scooter heading home at 2am on a Sunday morning. At a roundabout he's pursued and told to stop by guys on motorbikes, he goes faster and tries to flee, as far as he's concerned those guys are out to mug him. They make him fall, he breaks his arm and it turns out that they were police in civilian clothes, stopping him for no real reason... They wanted to arrest him, he protested and knew his rights etc. + his dad was a police officer. I think he must have got compensation but at the end of the day he got really frightened and broke his arm and scooter.

    When I was around 15- 16 - I came back from a party somewhere in Notting Hill, I lived in Paddington at the time and my route took me through St Mary's Church (on Paddington Green). It must have been 1 or 2 am, a bitterly cold Winter's night, silent, not a single soul on the streets - but as I passed through St Mary's almost pitch black graveyard I suddenly noticed a bloke sat on a bench, just ahead on the path that went through the grave yard - just staring at me - I almost shat myself, but I continued to walk towards him (hoping at the time he doesn't whip his cock out and stab me with a knife).

    When I was around 3 or 4 feet passed him - he lunged out to grab me, shouting 'STOP!' - I nearly jumped out of my fucking skin and of course legged it, my heart was in my throat as I ran about as fast as my legs would allow and was absolutely terrified, this was proper 'graveyard bum rape and stabbed in the eyes' territory, this bloke (in his 30's 40's I can't be too sure now) was pounding after me, as far as I was concerned I was running for my life, he eventually caught up and grabbed my arm taking me down on to the floor - it was only then that he said I was a fucking idiot for running from the police. No real injuries, just grazed hands and after a good sound telling off and a lecture on how to conduct myself (from some cunt who chases children through graveyards) I was allowed to go.

    !!!

    The police do some incredible work, stuff I could not handle, and on a daily basis, to be honest without a working police force we would be in a lot of trouble - but the nature of assigning power to individuals over other members of society will always bring with it a percentage of tossers who will enjoy abusing that power.
