Why do they cry "Foul"?

I watched with horror today at CCTV footage of a poor, innocent, epileptic, black mother aged 20 being beaten up by a white British Policeman.

At least that’s how it came over on TV when a few seconds of the CCTV footage were aired.

The TV station interviewed the girl and her pious and distraught parents.

The world should be horrified at what was done to their poor innocent baby.

Am I cynical in wondering just how innocent the girl really was?

On the night in question she, and a friend, had polished off the best part of a bottle of Brandy to celebrate daddy’s birthday.

And THEN they went out clubbing and drank even MORE.

“I had had a drink”, she said.

She was then evicted from the nightclub, and later returned to damage a car belonging to a member of staff in the club.

She had already pleaded guilty to this offence.

A policeman had witnessed this vandalism and had tried to arrest her. The two of them had fallen down a flight of stairs, and even then, she struggled while he tried to handcuff her.

Yes, the policeman was shown to have punched her five times, “In the arm”, he said to handcuff her. “In the head”, she said.

No matter.

Don’t you feel that when someone commits several criminal offences and then resists arrest they have effectively opted out of the civilised world?

They have chosen to offend against society.

And isn’t it their own stupid fault if they are bruised while the police try to restrain them from committing more criminal deeds?
