Some Inside Gossip From The English Coppers

Gavroche | 09.04.2012 14:59 | Policing | Repression

After occupying a police building in East London we were fortunate enough to find a few inside secrets from the English coppers. Not as many as are floating around on the grapevine mind...

One would hardly expect our oh so very friendly English police force to engage in some kind of police brutality. After all, they are known to be a little friendlier than the ones on the continent, except when they're shooting Mark Duggan and pushing over girls in the street, instigating riots. What is a riot but a symptom of a rotten society? It is telling that the copper involved in the shooting wasn't imprisoned for four years for inciting a riot - not that the attitude of punishment in revenge for punishment really serves much because it would only increase the extent to which the prison complex has power over society.

Ian Tomlinson, Jimmy Mubenga... Our overseers seem to have a knack of destroying all trace of their activities. How soon do the public forget about these cases whilst gossiping about the latest television shows and popular media stories. But we have proof of some things which they might find harder to hush up, and will now give you a few tantalizing insights into what the brutal MET have got away with, what remains unheard in this dungeon of lies.


"BRITISH BRUISER"

Upon entering the occupied police station, the previous occupiers of whom there was some number and even amongst them some sober-minded persons, a chilling discovery was made. The upstairs rooms included a kind of cupboard, containing a bar presumably to be used for hanging up clothes. Yet it was not clothes they were hanging up, rather than their black uniforms, they were hanging up... Black people, it seems. Left upon the bars was a set of handcuffs, hanging down, and next to them a baseball bat which some suggest was bloodstained or spiked with nails upon which were written the words "British Bruiser".

Various quite reliable eyewitness testimonies are availiable to correlate this story.


CACHES OF DOCUMENTS

Various documents, as yet unsorted, are in the hands of one of the allies of the starving masses, and were they to be released* then they would cause huge controversy. These documents give insight into the police dealings with football hooligans, rioters and others at various times. This is not to mention the various documents captured by imprisoned comrades over the course of time. The public eagerly awaits such tantalizing information, and were it to be released into their domain then it would greatly illuminate the corruption which at present goes unnoticed.


COPPERS, FASCISTS, NAH...

Many people believe that the police's attitude to drugs might be one tempered by regularly observing the suffering of drug addicts and people left in dire situations. Unfortunately this is not so. Various documents are in the possession of our organization which give evidence of the police's extraordinarily biased and offensive attitude towards this situation, seeking only to criminalize drug users and to create more criminals. It is clear that this attitude only serves to reinforce the power of the private security firms who run the prisons. Thereby state spending is increased, causing problems for the finances taken from the foolish masses by tax.

It would be better to follow after Thoreau and refuse to pay our taxes if the money is only to go into the hands of private corporations.


CORRELATED REPORTS OF TORTURE

An Irish Traveller, who will go unnamed, brings us the story of being tortured at the hands of the police force. Metal poles were inserted up his nose and wires attached to his body. For the purpose of gaining information about potentially dangerous revolutionary movements, such as people who did not wish to pay rents and remain sedentary. Of course the institution of taking rents from people was only created with the Enclosure Acts, yet historical fact is conventiently ignored by the world as in the case of our state education program in which the deaths in Vietnam and due to colonial wars such as those of King Leopold II of Belgium go unmentioned.

This torture took place in - Syria, Egypt? No, in one of the "Democratic" states of Europe. This story, along with other reports of torture, can be correlated by various reliable witnesses.
