Read any paper lately and there is fraud, bribery, corruption, from those at the very top, those whose job it is to govern and set standards. Why are they never held accountable for their misdemeanors?
Because they can manipulate what is reported thus influencing what the 'angry mob' read over their cornflakes.
" Junkie gets punched!"

Big fat deal!!!
What's really happening, should be what everyone's thinking.
Is this a smokescreen, what's really happening?
The PM just sold Sri Lanka £8 million worth of arms... Oh, but that nasty policeman.

Who's talking about nurses? Once again in a thread about the police you seem to want to push your own agenda? If you want to talk about corruption among government officials then why not open a thread give us your examples and we can discuss it but this thread is about a vid of police beating an unarmed already restrained man. ie Police blatantly not following procedure and possibly committing a crime. I think thjis kind of vid is very important. There are many similar vid like this so dont know where you get this 'odd bad one' from. Do you have statistics to back up your claims?
