Where have I stated that all police are worthy of respect.
I would however comment after seeing a program about the tube station in Brixton that if I were a police officer having to put up with the shit that comes out of every other persons gob, I would run out of fixed penalty notices very quickly.
If I were a member of staff at the station it would take about five minutes before I started throwing mouthy people on the live rail.

You're trying to bully me into shutting up by bringing up my BNP past where it's not relevant in the slightest.
If you think you understand the logic of ex BNP members, then I must say, you are excelling yourself at stereotyping people. First the police, UKIP members, now BNP members. All the fucking signs of a bigot if you ask me.

Its a popular Welsh proverb, it means that the mother will always see her son in a very good light, and either deny/plead ignorance to any japes he gets up to.
Literal translation - the crow always sees her chick as white.

Thanks. The only Russian proverb I can think of that is even vaguely relevant to this thread is 'not everyone who wears a cowl is a monk.'

The logical conclusion of your argument is that people in authority should be able to get away with any injustice or abuse of that authority so long as there are no witnesses.layabout said:
Gereally, such abuses of authority do tend to occur when there are no witnesses, for obvious reasons.
thank you Ernestolynch for that little pearl of wisdom
Except you don't know me, or my children, or what it's like to be 17 in society today. Or how being black, wearing a hood, riding a bike, asking directions can bring negative attitudes flooding in to your 'normal' existence.
How, as a parent, it is difficult to keep your children on a positive path when injustice meets their efforts to keep on the right side of the law.
Explaining to this 17 year old (who has never been in any trouble) why children (young men) who look like him MIGHT be perceived as troublemakers/targeted by the police while walking after dark.
So..... "because the society is heading this way son, and because the media wants to demonise young men like you son, you have to be polite to all the haters out there and anyone in authority even if they are wrong or physically abusing or harrassing you, because if you don't ........"
Can't believe people naturally think that parents don't look at both sides of a thing, or assume their children are angels.

WHY?! Can you not see how such a doctrine is a recipe for routine abuse of power - to which the victim will have no redress whatsoever?layabout said:
To (off-topically) illustrate: in workplaces up and down the country, people are being driven out of work into nervous breakdowns caused by bullying bosses - who bully in private and with no witnesses present. In almost each and every case, the employee has no redress because the HR dept, the union and just about eveybody involved takes the side of the person in authority - nomatter what. Do you think this is right?
