UK cops historical drama
Mangrove: 9/10
BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p08vy19b/small-axe-series-1-mangrove
One can argue if its a 'movie' or an extended TV drama, but regardless, a brilliant piece of cinematography capturing the Police violence against black people in 1970s West London. Brilliant scripting, casting, acting and character development allied with authentic location sets, costume and popular culture from the time. Makes the film truly engaging and the 2 hours fly by.
It jolted me back to youth, where I remember just how racist British society was, where unsophisticated white folk tried to cleanse foreigners of their sophisticated culture and where it was culturally acceptable to use language and behaviours against ethic minorities that is banned today. It reminds me that we have made progress towards equality, even if it is always frustratingly two steps forwards and one step backwards.
But I think what makes this movie so brilliant is that it makes it very easy for Millennials and GenZ to understand how their parents and grandparents behaved and struggled with the concept of cultural integration. Its especially pertinent given the recent BLM movement and is also representative for the issues all immigrants have faced when trying to make a home for themselves in UK

This one is great, the "bad apple" is bragging about hitting civilians with a car and the "good cop" realizes his bodycam is on and walks away midsentence to protect the sociopathic piece of shit.

Is that his bullshit detector going off at 0:50 in the second video?
Bad apple starts stuttering like a mofo. No snitching just like a old fashioned street gang.

Twat couldn’t even bother to show up for his own hearing. Glad to see he was canned...

Not sure what’s more depressing, the actions of the cops, not being surprised by them, or the bootlickers in the Twitter replies defending the cops.
Just seen that the cnut orchestrating it was demoted. In what other 'profession' could you do that and not be sacked.
Or arrested.

Sorry if anything similar has already been posted, but this is worth a watch. Excellent recreation of events by NYT.

A sad outcome. There is no justification for what the police officer did, from my point of view.

Sigh.
ridiculous
A corrupt prosecutor who just wants a guilty plea on his record.
How is that possible?
USA is the promised land for white scumbags, me thinks.
This "guilty plea" concept...does it exist in European countries?
beat innocent people, get oversight
Interesting piece today courtesy of NBC LA.
As a reminder; the NYPD union endorsed Trump for the election.

This is nuts. Not sure what the cops could have done differently there though (warning: video is extremely graphic)

I don't think they could do anything. He was clearly acting as he had a gun and he even did a countdown before "drawing" the fake gun. Maybe shoot him on the legs, before cornering him? once cornered I don't think they had much choicehttps://nypost.com/2021/01/14/phoenix-cops-fatally-shoot-man-during-intense-standoff-video/

But maybe in a deescalation education they show some tactics, who knows
I will tell you as well that is related with gun culture. In Spain, the police would have reasonable doubts that an individual has a gun and is faking it most probably
Wtf
fecking murdering pigs
Christ almighty, this is attempted murder.
Any word how those obviously run over are doing?

You're asking the wrong question. The proper question is how is the car doing?
Guarantee this guy won't even get fired, let alone charged.

Absolutely not. The injured might win some money in a civil a few years down the road, but the police already factor that into their budgets.You're asking the wrong question. The proper question is how is the car doing?

End the vastness of the qualified immunity scope, you’ll end a lot of shit like this. It could possibly be argued that (& I say possibly), if the civilians did break the windshield or windows, then such an evasive maneuver could be warranted. But, just breaking the glass with some implement isn’t going to incapacitate the occupants of a car. It’s not like the glass instantaneously becomes lethal shrapnel. I’ve been in two roll over wrecks & I don’t recall many cuts from all the glass that was broken, at least none serious. That’s the way the fecking glass is designed.
Wonder if the cop(s) got out of their vehicle after stopping a short distance away to render aid? If so, their excuse about feeling threated before the attempted murder attempt becomes even more laughably thin.
For once I have to agree with the cops, they had no choice there, the most blatant "suicide by cop" you will ever see.https://nypost.com/2021/01/14/phoenix-cops-fatally-shoot-man-during-intense-standoff-video/
