We have posted little of late as there has been nothing but an extraordinary level of political stupidity about and our tolerance of politicians is non-existent. There is only so much one can take. That is not to say, however, that this crazy world of ours remains still. Far from it.
We were more than intrigued recently with the case of the two Sussex Police officers who stood trial at Southwark Crown Court on charges of assault upon an elderly resident of a seaside care home who had been threatening care home staff with a serrated knife for a prolonged period until they were forced to call the police. When the police arrived the man was pepper-sprayed, tasered and subdued.
The jury found both officers (a male and a female) unaminously Not Guilty. In our view, that should have been the end of the matter but, no, we are now told that the two officers concerned face Police Disciplinary Procedures.
This idiotic prosecution by the Crown Prosecution Service should raise great concern amongst rank-and-file police officers. As for the senior ranks of the Police Service generally, both north and south of The Border, they are long past praying for anyway.
