Merseyside Police Beat Stab Victim


This jaw dropping video is 4 minutes 37 seconds of CCTV footage, taken by the cameras of Liverpool City Council, as 3 Merseyside police officers come to the 'aid' of Darren Grace who they had found staggering around Stanley Park, disorientated and bleeding. He had recently been the victim of a stab wound to the head during a party at a house nearby.

What follows next is almost un-fucking believable.
Watch it all, if you can stomach it, even the WPC has a fucking go ....


Even more un-fucking-believable, according to the full report in the Liverpool Echo, is that after this 'event' Darren Grace was initially charged with two counts of assaulting a police officer.

What the fuck!

However, those charges were eventually dropped when the Crown Prosecution Service saw the tape and realised there wasn’t enough evidence “to provide a realistic prospect of a conviction”.

No fucking shit Sherlock!

Superintendent Mike Shaw, from Merseyside Police’s Professional Standards Department, said "As a police force we expect the highest standards from our officers ... In this case I understand that members of the public will be concerned when watching this footage. However I would like to stress that CCTV images can never show the whole story."

You have got to be shitting me. What the fuck I have just watched there then? A kind bobby helping a frail old lady across the road? Oh, just do fuck off.

And another thing if "CCTV images can never show the whole story", how the fuck is it that the police can charge and prosecute members of the public, whilst using CCTV footage as key evidence.

Which the fuck is it it then Mikey baby? Is CCTV footage allowable as evidence or not? No, don't bother bastard well answering that. We can kinda guess what the response will be, eh.

Incidentally, no charges have yet been brought against any of the officers involved .. in fact they haven't even been suspended yet. The incident happened on August 1st.

I'm off for a lie down.

Gotty,
I've found something which could also make you just as angry. Blogged about it over at my place earlier. Quite honestly, I'm disgusted by the legal system in this country.

As for this, just when I thought the police couldn't stoop any lower in this country, I get proven wrong. Have I woken up this morning and found we're now in Zimbabwe?

Let me get this right.
Member of public accused of crime. CCTV infallable. So much so that we need it on every street corner.
Copper accused of crime. Ah, well, you see, it doesn't tell the whole tale.
Bastards.

and to think, our Police Force was once the envy of the world. How low we have sunk.

Is <span>Superintendent Mike Shaw an example of dumbed down Britain or does he think we are so dumb we will swallow any old shit?</span>

No you haven't, because in Zimbabwe we would all have guns to protect ourselves, sorry but you are still in the EUSSR.

Does anyone know what the outcome of that Sgt. in Wiltshire who was out on bail?  The one with the CCTV of him throwing that tiny woman around a cell.

Grim, that story on your blog is unbelievable and yet some 19 yr old who kicked the fuck out of a 64 yr old who only has 3 months to live, gets away with it.

"He had recently been the victim of a stab wound to the head during a party at a house nearby."  - Some party that must have been....



I know i'm going to regret posting this.........................BUT for the first 12 seconds we see the police apparently trying to offer him first aid.  Then the film suddenly jumps and the victim appears to be very agitated.  Why the sudden change, and what happenend in between? Was he extremely drunk, or on drugs? I fully agree that the police conduct from this point on is disgusting, and hardly conducive to helping him, but I do wonder if there is more to this than we have been told.

I expect I will now be shat on from a great height......

I dunno, he starts shouting at someone away from the Pigs between 10 seconds and 13 seconds and then there is an edit in the tape and on 14 seconds he is on his face getting twatted. I would like to see the bit that has been cut, he might have punched or spat in a copper's face for all I know. Where is the time and date on the cctv? Not saying these coppers aren't cunts but it looks like there is more to this than meets the eye, literally.

At one point I think I counted 13 police officers......... I don't think I've seen 13 police officers in the last 12 months, unless of course I count up the number of fat idle sloths sitting in their patrol cars at the end of the village at the end of every month pinging average law abiding motorists doing 33mph driving out of a 30 zone.

These cowboys have openly lost control of the streets. They wouldn't be making an appearance in those numbers if there was real trouble or if you or I were involved. Unfortunately, we have lost control of the police in the same way that they have lost the streets. Talk to old hands in the police and they will say much the same thing. 

As for the idiots in the incident in Liverpool, throw them in the chokey and let them figure out the meaning of good policing in their own time and fire the Chief Constable. That shower obviously need deep cleansing.

As usual this can only be suitably commented on by an explosion of expletives. I will refrain as it is the weekend. Plod, you are utter cunts. You deserve the contempt that the British public treat you with and please you tossers, remember how the public reacted to Moatey? You deserve everything the public say about you. Utterly useless cunts. Take the rest of the year off and save us Tax payers a fucking fortune.

Gildas said...

No you have a point. But plod do love to go over the top... 

Indyanhat said...

Oh deary deary me, plod never seems to learn, unless its how to become bigger bullying twats than they were before! The puublic have a right to these bastards heads on plates and it cannot come quick enough for my liking!

Agreed, up @ 00:12 the Police don't view him as 'enemy' they aren't even looking at him  being more concerened with their kit. tTe film was  doctored at that point. After that he becomes a violent agressive, can't dress hiself scouser pikey cunt who needs sorting.

banned said...

I've got it now, that's his boyfriend in the grey trackie, undercover plod telling him that he's crap at "it", even in the park and now his mates are going to sort him out for being a bender..

banned said...

Well done, I only made it up to 10 =-O .

First: no matter what the provocation, plod should be restrained. They are well paid and part of the deal is a degree of self-restraint which should be second nature. They are not allowed to say, "well - it's only human, innit".

Second: Plod achieve this self-restraint through training. Very few people have more than two arms and two legs - one man/woman/transgender per limb should be enough to restrain and control someone who is not trained in anti-detention shit.

Third: To engage in all this foolishness on camera is unforgiveable. If you're going to act like a twat, you should wear a funny hat.
