Fun with Cops – UK Style

[Legend]

Interesting coverage of an attack on a police officer in London.  CNN covered the story with a remarkably grainy and incomplete view of the incident, which actually included individuals filming, dancing, and kicking the cop.  None of that was covered by CNN because it would only breed anger, I’m sure.

A fuller video of the incident, compare it to what CNN shows:

Amazing that quite literally nobody comes to the officer’s aid.  I’m convinced that civil society will settle at the lowest level of bad behavior that good people will tolerate.  We are getting close to that here in the U.S. with the only difference in this incident being that the cop would likely have shot the “unarmed” assailant.

Actually, the girl does and holds them off.

Their faces are in full view. Oops.

 

I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.

• she’s another cop and nearly embarrassed herself. She was able to hold them off, however.
