It's shit, but it's nearly impossible to get a convict of a police officer in this country for beating someone to death in the street.

I just did a little bit of reading. Apparently it’s been 40 years since a conviction.
Ffs! -

beating someone to death in the street.
Yeah I did hesitate if in custody was the best way to describe it.

The Mumfords' banjoist has resigned to concentrate on his fascism. Which is still more laudable than making another Mumfords album.

Police officer's amazing excuse:
The woman said Walters sent her a Facebook friend request while in the
room, and then sent a private message saying “hello” with a heart
emoji when his shift finished.However, Walters said the woman seized his phone and called her number
from it, and then added her as a friend on Facebook.He said any subsequent message to her from his account was sent in
error, due to his “fat fingers” pressing the wrong button as he tried
to delete the prompt.His Honour Judge Andrew Goymer said, in his summing up to jurors: “Did
he (Walters) sexually assault her by slapping her on the buttocks and
putting his hand in her underwear?“That is the task that faces you.”
The jury will be sent out on Friday.

Without getting into what he originally said, it's a great example of how the Internet enables a tiny proportion of people to organise to apply huge pressure.
Even 500 people all gunning you at the same time would feel overwhelming for a normal person.

They're so similar, it does make you wonder: is someone churning out Tory MPs from mycelium moulds in a factory in the Pearl River delta somewhere?

Who leaked the CCTV? And how long did they have it?
In some reports I read during the trial he was referred to as an Ex Police Officer.
Which seemed rather disingenuous as he was removed from the force to stand trial for a fucking murder committed whilst he was on duty.
I can’t remember the last time a UK policeman was convicted of manslaughter - although there have been many deaths in custody.
The police really need to work on their clearance rates.
😒
