To stop authoritarian lunacy just getting in the way.<br /><br />Maybe there was more to this than meets the eye. But I doubt it.<br /><br />Sadly this seems to be a case of give some idiots a uniform...<br /><br />I'm afraid both the security guard and the policemen involved just seem to have made prats of themselves on this one - unless somebody is going to tell me otherwise.<br /><br />No emotional intelligence, no common sense, no feel for the situation and a lack of self awareness on behalf of the officials.<br /><br />Someone said the guy taking the photograph didnt say it was his daughter. a) did they ask b) couldn't they work it out.<br /><br />Officials pushing people around - whether they have sinister motives, are intoxicated by their own power or are just stupid - yes, these things happen. Its what civil liberties are there to protect us from - and no! there is no public safety case to argue here.<br /><br />It just reminds me of the cartoon parkie telling kids off for playing football in a park, when Strathclyde's finest just bullied harmless Hearts fans sitting in the sun outside Hampden quite needlessly, or the guy who ran the snooker hall when I was young and told us we couldn't play on one of the 12 empty tables in case any of his regulars came in.GHmltnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08420475365803049630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-74516081303127522592011-10-13T23:39:06.970+01:002011-10-13T23:39:06.970+01:00The only thing that will change is that there will...The only thing that will change is that there will be far fewer chiefs, far fewer big brass.<br /><br />I can understand the Tories getting themselves in a flap about that, but I can't see why the Liberals need to.<br /><br />This will save money.<br /><br />Other organisations do it.<br /><br />And at operational level things will be much the same. After all, Strathclyde, or Lothian, even Tayside covers a wide range of areas. It isn't the same bloke that deals with the drug raddled council estates in Glasgow, Edinburgh or Dundee, that deals with cattle thefts or rabbit poaching in the wilds of the hinterland.<br /><br />Let's save money and put it into policing. Not command corridors with endless numbers of useless manager.<br /><br />The Met deals with far more people than Scotland has.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
