How did it happen? How did the police go from being an organisation that was respected (and feared, just a little) filled with people who actually wanted to catch criminals and extract a degree of justice for their victims to being a database-driven, geekified bunch of pencil pushers who would rather harass a granny for having a non-PC perspective on fudge-packing, while completely lacking the interest to pitch up at my house and check out a crime scene for evidence of an actual, physical crime?
How come the police make headlines for waging war against people who are partaking of an activity which in 99.999999999999999999999999% of cases, results in no actual damage? How come police internal politics are played out in the media at the behest of a dodgy shyster?
And as ever, it seems to me the answer is this: once you have the double whammy of co-opting any organisation into political goals and a surfeit of concern for Political Correctness, that organisation is doomed.
Target-driven policing is a fucking disgrace. All I ever hear from policemen is one of two stories: "I want to get out there and do useful stuff, but my Inspector keeps on shitting on me for not meeting targets" or "The police has limited resources and has to prioritise their use on meaningful things". The former piss me off for not ignoring their cunting bosses, but the latter make me reach for the piano wire.
The moment you have a fifty-fifty split of victims of bullying and apologists justifying the bullying, you're fucked. So scrap the whole fucking thing and start again. Let's have less of the form-filling and more of the clips round the ear. Fewer cameras and more patrol cars. Get rid of the plastic fantastic fuckwits and lets have more actual police on the street, patrolling. Stop devolving police authority to every cunt from a council knob jockey to a bouncer on his day off.
Get rid of the jobsworth, arse-covering, Righteous middle managers and put that nice Mr Regan back out there.

Have you heard of American Paleocon Sam Francis' definition of:
...the system of government I have called "anarcho-tyranny": a combination of anarchy (in which legitimate government functions—like spying on the bad guys or punishing real criminals—are not performed) and tyranny (in which government performs illegitimate functions—like spying on the good guys or criminalizing innocent conduct like gun ownership and political dissent).
The result of anarcho-tyranny is that government swells in power, criminals are not controlled, and law-abiding citizens wind up being repressed by the state and attacked by thugs.

Trivially, one wonders if it has anything to do with the fact that in two pictures Sir Ian is unable to fasten a simple neck tie and has therefore come in to work wearing a Hawaiian shirt - unlike the slidey fellow next to him.
DI Jack Regan was no style councillor himself, although he did make an effort as the residual dandy in his soul gave the kipper tie one last go at being tugged loose by one of his passably decent and therefore not-staying-long girlfriends. There was no such ambivalence about neckwear from The Boss, Frank Haskins. The only way that man would have turned up without a tightly-knotted tie was if his entire head was missing.
Many thanks for the tip to Dean & Dean - that name chimes in another context, but I can't remember what for a moment.
Take a look at a couple of the numerous police blogs out there. Eye opening stuff. I recommend 'Nightjack' and 'Inspector Gadget'. Dunno how to put links up cos I'm a retarded Jock...
Bollocks Obnoxio.
Get rid of the cops all together.
They aren't your friends and never will be. In the past they would turn over the young/black/gay/whore/jew/whatever. I was there I saw it all. Murderous scum to a man. Did you miss the pigs kicking peoples heads in or summat. All that's changed is now that middle class white boy is the scapegoat.
Cops: The actual machinery of the coercive state.
Dean & Dean act for Hamas, specifically Mohammed Sawalha, the President of the British Muslim Initiative.
In July Sawalha took issue with Harry's Place and set Dean & Dean on the blog to make it take down something and place an apology. However, D&D are not actually that much cop at paperwork (as shows up in other cases) so they forgot to attach the apology they wanted on the blog.
Harry's Place refused to cave in and coordinated a Spartacus action. It also engaged top dogs Mischon de Reya to push back on their behalf. The material is still there.
Ironically, Dr M himself has been taken to tribunal by a woman he briefly employed as a trainee solicitor. She apparently didn't win her case - it didn't stand up and there was a hoo-ha over whether she was suing the right people as the structure of the firm had changed between what ever upset her and when she issued the paper - but in the thrashing about over who was going to pay costs, D&D managed to look like pillocks. His Honour Judge McMullen QC said:
"I appreciate that the outcome will be unsatisfactory to Dr Mireskandari, who was affected by very serious allegations against him which have not been tested, and he has been involved in distraction from his legal practice by these proceedings. For that matter, so has the Claimant, starting off on a relatively new career for her, and it was for those reasons that I let out my cri de coeur that these people try and resolve their issues without coming before the courts."
The best D&D story, though, is of Dr M acting in an emergency capacity for a Georgian national currently in Moscow. She had hired Kingsley Napley, the pukka outfit with a record of high-profile defences, at a cost of £350 per hour to represent her on a charge of having inadvertently run over a pedestrian to death and disposed of the car. She sacked KN and hired Dr M for £750 an hour.
D&D did the business, though. Before her trial they investigated. "Her defence is that she was not driving her vehicle that night. Dean & Dean state that they have traced the taxi driver who took Ms G to her home, and that they have also traced persons to whom the actual driver of her vehicle, a Georgian, admitted that he was the driver. He has subsequently committed suicide."
They also helped her vary her bail terms so she could go to Moscow for a service of rememberance for her late father. There she was taken ill and is currently unable to get back.
Now D&D is having trouble getting paid out all that it thinks it is owed. On receiving the bills, the client freaked and set Boardmans on D&D to challenge the invoices. D&D got a freezing order, but Mr Justice Jack balanced the factors which may be in play and decided that the lady intends to return to England, so declined to continue it.
Dr M doesn't like people complaining about him, and says that when they do it must be as a result of racial and religious discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET.
