http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-11759572 A boy left severely brain damaged in a collision with a police car has been awarded substantial damages. Greg Love - then aged 13 - was cycling to his Bournemouth home in December 2006 when he was hit by the car, which was attending an emergency call. The 17-year-old's family began a legal bid for compensation from Dorset Police Authority, which settled out of court for an undisclosed sum. Dorset Police said it "deeply regretted" the incident. An Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigation in May 2008 found that the police driver was not to blame. The family's solicitors issued a High Court writ …

This sort of behaviour makes me wonder why someone who is a senior special would do this, I am really pleased Hatton has been jailed. A disgraced special constable has been jailed for 18 months for offences against a 14-year-old schoolgirl he was accused of grooming.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-11811799 The Metropolitan Police's Operation Trident could be broken up as the force looks to save money in the government's Spending Review. The unit, which investigates gun crime in London's African-Caribbean community, may be merged with other squads to cut costs. The Trident independent advisory group, which monitors the unit's work, was told the news three weeks ago. The Met said no decision has been made, but no department was "sacrosanct". Claudia Webbe, who leads the advisory group, said she had been warned "nothing is off the table". But she said: "To even think about breaking it up would be sacrilege. Any impact …

A minister was under fire last night for claiming there was no simple link between police numbers and the level of crime.

Going along these lines, if the Police force were disbanded, the level of crime might stay the same or even fall. In short, this minister has said, it is the Polices fault we have crime.

http://rt.com/Top_News/2010-11-06/britain-deaths-police-crime.html RT is an English-speaking arm of the Russian state media, aimed primarily at the UK. Just lol at bias and the fact that Russia is accusing British police of brutality.
