Your pensions..............................

to be fair, it was the police bosses that threatened rubber bullets, ordinary coppers don't have a say. good article though

...they could say "no sir".

How could they possibly ever be "decent people"? They they are cops. They were just the same bastards when they were armed with short truncheons rather ASPs and tazers.

It does make you wonder just what goes through their tiny, stunted thuggish minds, bit too late to be bitching about their rights and pensions when their actions have alienated just about everyone from the anti-cuts – Austerity campaigns who might help and support them.

As a public sector worker I will be working to 65 (like most of us will be) so the cops don’t get to retire early and then get a fat pension and a cushy security job afterward - My heart fucking bleeds! - And at one point I may have gave a shit (which would be a first for me giving a shit about the police) about your pensions as I think the attacks on all public sector workers are wrong but your actions over the last year have disgusted me even more than I was disgusted by the police before (which was pretty fuckin high).

They really should have chose sides earlier and not held out the vain hope that the CONDEMS would hand them out a nice pay rise to keep them onside. Did they really expect their corporate/political paymasters would give a fuck about them? Did they really think that being good little piggies and beating up / criminalising children would keep their masters happy? DOH! I think they should be happy that they weren’t sold to some private security company....

You ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated little piggy??

No police officer has to carry out an order they don’t agree with (they are allowed to have some morals after all) shame most of them don’t bother with them, and I’m sure some of them joined the police farce to actually make a difference in society – which is very noble – but when they are asked to batter kids, or use chemical weapons or shoot them with plastic bullets surely that is not helping make society a better place? Surely then they might think about another job, surely the reason they joined the police farce is being corrupted by their corporate/political paymasters, so why not leave? Is it because they are really only in it for the pensions and early retirement? I think so…

…Still, don’t worry little piggy's, your corporate/political paymasters have a vision for our world, it for sale and they have reintroduced slavery so there will be loads of jobs down Tesco soon enough for you all, staking shelves for your dole money…

…welcome to 21st Century Britain(plc)

p.s - the pig who killed Thomlinson is that the same pig in the first picture throttling a child? they look similar and one wonders if they are allowed to keep murderers on the street?

It's difficult to know whether to laugh or cry.

Perhaps the police thought that things are like they were in the days of the Mad Woman of Finchley, fat pay rises for the police to beat up anyone opposed to the 1%. For those without a conscience happy days.

Wake up dears, things have changed. This is the era of privatisation. Scum like Blackwater going round and murdering people at will. Cosy public sector police jobs are being phased out. Have you not noticed? In the future you will be sold to the likes of G4S. Don't like it? Tough. Pensions? Don't make me laugh.

The police faced a choice and decided to be part of the problem, rather than part of the solution. They have sided with the 1%, they will find themselves disposed of when it is convenient. Their choice, but the loss affects all of us.

Why not? Who is going to arrest them? They can shoot you dead in the street and there is no one who can hold them to account. Get real. They don't work for the system, they are the system. There is nothing more to it than criminal vested interests through out every level of "our essential services".

>> "It was the police bosses that threatened rubber bullets, ordinary coppers don't have a say" >> but it's ordinary coppers who would have pulled the trigger/s!

>> "How could they possibly ever be "decent people"? They they are cops" >> This post is a message to the Metropolitan Police, not a message to Anarchists like the person who responded with this comment, and as such the idea was to discourage cops from behaving like scum - that might well NOT work, but the idea is to at least give it a try. Mark Kennedy for instance may still be scum, but at least he left the police and ratted on the cops, doing huge damage to the police's reputation, and, whatever you say about him, him leaving the police was better than him STAYING in the activist movement. The more cops that can be persuaded to do likewise the better, so it's worth a try, and even if it fails, at the very least we can have a laugh at their expense.

>> "Why not? Who is going to arrest them?" - Good point. OF COURSE THE POLICE CAN STRIKE, since they choose not to prosecute the grand larceny of thieving bankers and since they break the law any time the fucking feel like, whether it's "legal" or not is irrelevant. The way the police tried to make their point to the Coalition govt was instead by creating crises that make them look "essential" to the govt - letting students trash Tory Party HQ (not like I'm saying they shouldn't have mind you), using the bait van trick, and deliberately starting the riots by going to the place riots kicked-off worse in the 1980s (Broadwater Farm) and shooting the nearest petty crim (for the sake of a plausible excuse, so-to-speak) they could find, treating the victim's family and their supporters with total contempt, and then holding back for a few days to make sure the riots really spread
