• [OT] More fine policing in the UK

    From Rhino@21:1/5 to All on Thu Aug 14 14:21:53 2025
    A black man dropped his pants (and underwear) in the London Tube
    (subway) and a couple of passengers urged him to pull his pants back up
    due to women and children on the train. The black man refused. The
    passengers pulled him off the train at the next stop and held him down
    until the police arrived. The passengers were arrested and the black man
    was excused on the grounds of a "mental crisis". Sounds like a valid
    citizens' arrest to me but what do I know?

    Meanwhile, since all other crimes have been solved, the police have
    persuaded a couple of female officers to go jogging so that anyone who
    catcalls the women can be dealt with. The police admit that catcalling
    isn't a crime but they apparently need something to do....

    Other police have been detailed to deliver leaflets to people ensuring
    them that they are free to attend peaceful protests but warning against
    doing so. One such officer laughed as he explained his presence on a
    man's doorstep, knowing this was nonsense, and is now in serious danger
    of doing his job because the conversation was caught on a doorbell
    camera and became public.

    The UK may have already fallen. There are still people trying to save
    it, but it may be impossible at this point.

    The question is, what will rise to replace it?

    ...although "serious danger of doing his job" has its uses elsewhere.

    The UK is a fine example of what happens when you allow the
    politically correct machine run your country. It's a disaster.

    You're already witnessing it. It's a police state.
