Black girl shot dead by Police minutes before Derek Chauvin verdicts are read https://news.sky.com/story/black-girl-shot-dead-by-police-minutes-before-derek-chauvin-verdicts-are-read-12282201 That’s the Headline, which is very click-bait. Followed by the line (smaller text): ”Footage reportedly shows an officer shooting the teenager as she attempts to stab two people with a knife” And the media insist they aren’t bias, selling stories by stirring the pot and playing dangerous games. The entire article is, yet again, slanted negatively towards Police - despite the fact the person had a knife and was stabbing people. What would the reporters of suc…

Of course the contrast between Bristol here and Burma over there is vast. There, a bullet in the head, here arrest, court and decent treatment for breaking the law. Poor people. https://apnews.com/article/aung-san-suu-kyi-min-aung-hlaing-myanmar-5bd5fd1e20adc5c5e16a0bb2a3db3102 (I've put this in foreign policing news as the Security Forces are heavily implicated).

https://cinisello-balsamo.milanotoday.it/sindaco-consegna-pistole-polizia-locale.html (bonus points for starched white belts!) A bit old, but I posted it as it is happening more on the continent and Italy, that the locals are armed. Quite sensible, but interesting as their Polizia Locale / Polizia Municipale are most similar to our CSOs/Civil Enforcement Officers/Neighbourhood Wardens, yet they have basically, the powers of a constable (and the PPE to back it up), but deal with the local crime, ASB, theft, drunks, traffic control, parking & road obstructions, low-grade VIP escorts, etc. They already had spray, batons etc. We must now be one …
