Thanks for the positive story. I sure hope you smacked him around for calling you "Dude". I'd hate to have to report you:)

Caught on Tape: Cop's Vicious Beating of Female Inmate Sends Her to Hospital

The suspected officer says he did not beat the prisoner, but that she fell down, MyFOXPhoenix.com reports.

Exactly right.

It's not just the British. Remember when tilt called people who defended themselves against criminals "vigilantes and criminals"?

In Minnesota a few years back the police arrested a homeowner who shot and killed an intruder. The courts aid she should have attempted to flee out a back door rather than confront her attacker in the house. Luckily she beat the charges and they never took it to court.

Mutt - you don't really understand the processes at work here do you - sending a file to the CPS would be standard procedure in any incident where someone dies.

The police alone wouldn't be able to decide how, or if a death like this would be prosecuted.

This is where Muttley's totally f*cked up perspective comes from - a lack of understanding.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Prosecution_Service Is a pretty good summary of what the Crown Prosecution Service does.

The Crown Prosecution Service must first decide, after evidence is gathered by the police, whether the case should be pursued further. If it is not pursued it is dropped. Their main function is to prosecute on behalf of the state; however, they will prosecute a case only if there is enough evidence and the case is in the public interest. Primarily, they review the evidence, and give guidance on the police evidence; they prosecute in the magistrates court if there is enough evidence and, if the case needs to go to crown court, they sometimes hire qualified advocates to prosecute for them but increasingly use their own in-house higher court advocates.

What am I not getting - that you don't understand how the legal process works in the UK? That you know nothing of the details of the case involved? That you don't understand that there are some procedures to follow when you kill someone, defending yourself or not?

You gave a crap example - sure you can say it's socialism or a nanny state - but you just used a bad example that doesn't really back up your point - and just shows you don't really know what you're talking about.

Nah Sadly the brits are going down the Socialisim (i.e. anti individuality) system so just about every example will be of the system punishing the individual who acts independently....NO shocker here...will make it easier for the Islamos To take over.

My favorite line in the story...

"Just days before the fatal incident, Lancashire Police appealed for Kilroe to hand himself in after he failed to appear at court to face armed robbery charges."

I can just see a bunch of liberals standing outside his apartment, pleading with him while wringing their hands for him to please give himself up, spouting all the liberal platitudes about how he is just misguided, misunderstood or comes from a broken home etc...

All you hear from most of the self admitted conservatives here is crap about liberals.

There's no new ideas, no vision for reform, no plans for the future, no foreign policy changes, just liberal this and liberal that.

Maybe you need to change the label to 'libby hater' as it more closely describes you.

Well, by "no new ideas", I assume you're referring to CHANGING America. By definition, conservatives don't want America to change. We want to stop "progressiveness", which is another word for Communism.

Minus the "no foreign policy changes", that sounds like the Democrats.

y2, you and I just a a conversation on the other thread minutes ago where I said that government shouldn't be dictating the company on who to hire, and for how much ... that it should be done by the company itself and it's stockholders.

Now you're claiming (minutes later), that I never gave any solutions, and am only making it about the libbies.

So ...


either you are

(1) not paying attention
(2) very stupid
(3) a troll
(4) British

“There's no new ideas, no vision for reform, no plans for the future, no foreign policy changes, just liberal this and liberal that. - Y2

I disagree completely! For reform, institute a flat tax that makes sense..

For foreign policy, pull all of our troops out of every country in the world tomorrow. No draw downs, no warning, just evacuate the bases we are at. That should send a message. The world would not be the world we live in today if not for the United States and we need to remind the world of that. Enforce nuclear proliferation through the judicious use of smart bombs. We need to take the Israeli approach to threats against our country. Bomb them to oblivion and tell the rest of the world to F themselves.

Future planning will take care of itself in the future.

There, those are my plans, I never once mentioned a liberal.
