Remember the cops WILL LIE to make it easier for them. They WILL LIE and say that you assualted them and not the other way around.
NO COP will every tell the truth about his fellow officer in court. It would be like a death sentence for him!
This is the mob. Get over it already. We are ruled by a mob.

Their job is collect money for state. To shake you down.

You're some of the best entertainment going on the net. But, I thought hobby shops had taken precautions against selling plastic model airplane glue to underage persons not accompanied by an adult.

North Shore, I admit, even to The Old (hang 'em in the public square) Fogducker, that did seem a touch excessive when they began smashing the window as the very first action once on scene.

Now that said, perhaps the driver spoke with an Irish, Scottish, or Welsh accent, which would give the officers sufficient Probable Cause To Believe he had stolen the Range Rover from its affluent English land owner, and was attempting to make good his escape in the same manner as O. J. simpson in that highly publicised low speed chase.

Last time I checked, fleeing from police was a felony, even in Britain. He was obviously running. You can't possibly argue that he never heard the siren or saw the lights.

There are two types of person that want to join the police force. One is a person who wants to make a difference and help bring order, legally, to society. The other is one who sees the opportunity to live out their need/fantasy to exert force over others.

Gross over-simplification of course but the latter have problems that are going to manifest themselves with the over-reaction, bigotry and bullying we are seeing on this Avcanada forum so regularly. The former, I respect.

I thought this thread was on British Boobies, then I realized I was wrong.

For any of you that thought the same thing as me, I'll make it worth your while.

He drove for at least a minute with the lights and sirens behind him...a stop from 35mph takes, what...10 seconds at the most? He ran.

ISTP:

Having had a British girlfriend for three years, and a family heritage of being pompously British, the moment I looked at the picture you submitted, I knew there was something seriously amiss.

After hours of forensic examination of that image with a magnifying glass, and a jeweler's loupe, I finally came to a Sherlock Holmes moment of revelation. After wracking my brain to find what was out of place in that photograph, I engaged in considerable pondering of the pulchritude of those pendulous orbs. Knowing it was something very simple, and the answer was staring me right in the face like a pair of big brown eyes of a dairy cow locked on mine.

Then it struck me like a hot kiss at the end of a wet fist ... the Union Jack is upside down!

That means this young lady is in trouble and is requesting a rescue operation to be mounted.

ISTP, do you have any video of that young lady? Its my guess that just like the video taped interviews the North Vietnamese released where US pilots held in The Hanoi Hilton were "confessing" to war crimes, but one of them was sending Morse Code signals by blinking and repeating the word "torture."

This woman is being held against her will for some nefarious perverted purpose which is so disgusting as to be unmentionable in a Canadian Aviation Forum of such high standards as are upheld by the hard-working moderators at AvCanada. One can only imagine the kind of things the crevice of that cleavage may have been subjected to.

Help save that poor woman from exploitation.

Jeebus, OFD, you're right! Great eye!

I never noticed.

Here's a Union Jack:

Image

I you'll notice on the right diagonal bars, the red stripes are on top, top.

On the left diagonal bars, the red stripes are bottom, bottom.

WE HAVE A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS!!!

Image

They are definitely upside down!

I say we send in Agent 69. She always gets the job done for Queen and Country.

Image

Or if that fails, the UN Ambassador herself, Ginger Spice.

Image

At times like this, we must remain non-partisan, OFD. I am with you! Heinous actions like this will not go unpunished! Wet noodles and Celine Dion videos are available at my own personal Guantanamo for whomever perpetrated any actions against the fine maiden!

Damn, I am glad I looked at this thread. What began as another gunna slam another cop bashing session turned out to be a truly enlightening experience that another crime was solved. However I must ask, has she been rescued and if not, I too will volunteer for the mission before us to unhand this fair maiden. And I call dibs for Agent 69, so I can cup her back, I mean ahhh.... back her up.

Rigpiggy ...

I did give your theory due consideration, as I admit to being somewhat single-minded in solving the curious incongruity that struck me the moment I laid eyes on that photograph.

After once again studying the image with an eye to solving the conundrum you put forth, I reluctantly say that your incorrect in your photographic intelligence gathering.

Don't let this minor setback affect your self confidence, as there is a significant error rate in the world of intelligence gathering. Examining information after the fact, the uninformed public think it is easy "to connect the dots," in real life it becomes an entirely different matter. One may liken it to having a table full of pieces of a jigsaw puzzle but the Intel people are prohibited from looking at the picture of the box cover.

You should feel no shame in looking at such pictures and making notes based upon your observations Rigpiggy.

Considering the force of gravity acts downward, toward the centre of the earth, and the mass of that poor girl's signalling devices is sufficient, they wouldn't have their distinctively curved droop angle if she were actually suspended by her ankles with the intent to fly the Union Jack in the correct orientation.

So, to me, the emergency signal that I decoded is still valid, and every last man Jack of us should consider doing "the gentlemanly thing," and mounting an exploratory mission to rescue a British damsel in distress.

Although she may be putting on "a good stiff upper lip" perfomance for the camera by faking a smile, I would suspect that interviews subsequent to her release of tension following the extraction process will verify that she is suffering from "Stockholm Syndrome" from being held so closely by her despicable captors. Hence she would likely be good at "faking it" to make her kidnappers feel more manly.

I say until the last man is totally depleted, we all stand proud, and rally around the flag and all it stands for.

Regards from,
The Old (gentlemanly) Fogducker

I'm quite pressed for time, as I actually have to work today, but I appreciate your having brought that yong girl ... obviously barely out of her teens ... to our attention. Although my presonal preference is for blondes with lighter hair, if she remains in the sun for awhile longer, she will lighten up sufficiently.

I note this young lass is exposed to the elements with very little to protect her from the environment.

Perhaps an air drop of survival clothing may be required.

I have a line on some swim suits from Rio de Janeiro that I had planned to offer for sale in the classified section of AvCanada, but am willing to donate one which may help out in this situation. I'll donate the swim wear if one of you will donate the airplane time to do a LAPES style drop to help out.

Nobody cares anymore about the cops smashing out a car window and harassing a poor old fellow. He has been locked away in an old folks home being drugged to the sky and fed mushed peas. Collateral Damage per se. We are on to saving these poor damsels in distress whilst they are still young and can enjoy the rest of their lives.

Teach your kids to repect these nice, law abiding, JUST, men!

The video of this torture is truly shocking.

They came for the jews and I did nothing, they came for the blacks and I did nothing...then they came for the muslims...it will never happen to ME will it? Surely these nice godly men will respect me?

Police handing out justice? Maybe they could beat every prisoner and we'd save money on judges? Let's say 10 stroks for theft, 100 for rape, 50 for assault.
Sounds fair hey they do it in china and iran.

http://edition.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/08/10 ... J&wom=true

(CNN) -- The FBI and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division are investigating possible civil rights violations in the case of a sheriff's deputy who was captured on video beating a handcuffed inmate with a baton.

The Kershaw County Sheriff's deputy was fired after an August 5 surveillance video showed him hitting the inmate dozens of times with a baton, authorities said Monday.

The video shows the deputy leading the handcuffed man from a van toward the jail. The deputy then pulls out his baton and begins swinging it repeatedly at the man's legs, bashing him until he falls to the ground.
