bancroft He also expresses concerns that bodycams may have been switched off when they should have been on, as well as questioning why the Brothers were removed to areas of the Airport where there were no cameras to record what was taking place. And as already raised on this Forum, the question of under what legal Authority politician Burnham was able to see footage was brought up, presumably because no answer has as yet been forthcoming. I guess Burnham as Mayor was concerned about the public reaction and was attempting to downplay public reaction/ opinion, longer term it looks questionable yet that is with hindsight. |

So the news conference by the Muslim family, makes me wonder if there is another victim willing to press charges for the altercation that brought the family to the attention of the police. Looks bad if there is no earlier victim. The family have said a lot in a news conference today, yet the legal chap has said we expect the release of all police body cameras and CCTV to allow a defence to be made. This is not going to be resolved easily. The Kuwaiti who got in the spat with the mother has gone home - no charges. Given that it is now 2 weeks since the attack on the police and still no charges I doubt we are going to see any - classic example of 2-tier policing in action. |

It's almost as if significant parts of our government are being run by Pakistani criminal syndicates |

I suspect it's a 22 karat diamond encrusted certainty. |

I suspect it's a 22 karat diamond encrusted certainty. The way it works is a chipping away at the fabric of enforcement. The next time somebody of asiatic appearance behaves suspiciously at an airport, those with the duty to intervene will be more reluctant to do so because of the risk of it turning into a messy fistfight that gets them a criminal charge |

It's the relentless and insidious creep of political correctness, combined with minority appeasement, and then to top it off, a Labour government. I think as a country we could cope with one, possibly even two of those things, but not all three. We are in trouble. |
