Election Year or Fear!

I’ll be very interested to see if the two issues are prosecuted equitably. Cynical me suggests ‘community cohesion’ might play a part

If the reaction of a professionally trained armed Police officer to an incident and certainly given the person he kicked had been tasered, doesn't fill people with concern, then they have clearly forgotten the actions by other individuals who were fire arms officers which resulted in the rape and death of one woman and multiple rapes, coercive behaviour of other women.

Still its good to see Thicky demonstrating the depth of his misogynism with his "pathetic women police officers" comment, merely confirms that he is a very sad and rather nasty individual as previously stated.

TTR’s words were I’ll chosen but I’d suggest that in view of what I understand to be the buildup to the incident and what police may have known about the perps, deploying female officers may have been a mistake.

Oh be quiet you clown. My mysogynsitic comment as you call it, was all about that women shouldn't have been there for that in the first place. They got their butts handed to them on a plate. They didn't react, respond, or attempt to defend themselves. Like using a 9 iron, to drive off the tee.
But woke clowns like you, would sooner see the officers and general public put in danger to satisfy these stupid measures.
That's being realistic not sad, or perhaps you are one of them cheering at Imane Khelif, knocking 10 bells out of that poor Italian woman as well? Arouse you does it?

On a lighter note I just tried to upload an image but it seems you can no longer upload a file from your computer, you can only add pic via its URL? is this so or is it just me

Something I have mentioned on several occasions. AF has reported it to HQ but these things seem to take a long time. I've also had URLs that wont load as an image so I've merely posted the url without using the IMG button meaning folk have to click on the url rather than the image simply appearing in the post.

I think in these days of gender equality, female police officers are fair game for being smacked - so to me it doesnt matter the gender (or self identified gender etc etc) of the person assaulted. However had the person being smacked been Trans - in one way or another - Im sure the woke bleating about police retribution would have been caught between two stools of doubt as to who to defend

Really? No police officer is fair game for being smacked.

Exactly.

Thickys words are deliberate, its how he thinks and why no right thinking UK woman will have anything to do with him.


I expected you to come out with your rather quaint and patronising patriarchal views on a woman's role in society. If one truly value women, then one would respect their choices and perhaps be slightly more aware that many neither need nor appreciate being patronised by gender stereotyping.

I'm sure the Police Officers concerned are more than cognisant with the risks of dealing with people and are well equipped to do so. Not sure muscle mass has very much to do with the impact of being struck in the face, whether one is male or female. I'm sure there are occasions when brute force may prevail, but in the vast majority of situations brains not brawn (and a baton or taser) is equally effective whatever the gender of the person wielding it.

I didn't read on beyond his 'pathetic' comment about the female police officers. Disgusting thing to say.

You do know the meaning of ‘pathetic’ don’t you? It means…pitiful…so with absolutely no knowledge whatsoever of these women’s level of ability you have written them off as ‘pitiful’ while, as ever, abusing anyone who disagrees with you. That, TTR, is ‘pathetic’.

Moving on from your idiocy and rudeness. Coincidentally, for the first time ever on the ferry over to Dieppe a week ago I saw something I’ve never seen before…the presence of heavily armed members of the ‘Gendarme Maritime’ throughout the crossing. Five of them, all carrying holstered hand guns in addition to what I took to be semi automatic weapons. Didn’t know whether to be alarmed or reassured, but came down on the side of the latter given the potential terrorist threat as we sailed on the opening day of the Paris Olympics.

As a matter of fact…one of the five was a giant of a man…the other four all smaller than me. Doubt whether it would have made any difference and I’d have been just as reassured if any of the five had been women, but the question RS poses is one I fear we are all going to have to face up to in the not so distant future…been the case in Spain for ages and I’ve never felt intimidated, but then I’m unlikely to set out to harm anyone.
