would you be critisising the police if a bomb had detonated in a busy nightclub or shopping centre,
Well I guess it would all depend on whether the bombing incident occurred because of police incompetence or not. If it was proved to have occured because of police incompetence then yes, I would feel that it was appropriate to criticise the police. If however the police were not at fault, then it would clearly be inappropriate to criticise the police. All pretty obvious stuff I would have thought.
I think what people want easygirl, is simply for the police to do their job properly as indeed they expect all professionals to do. Surely this is a concept which you can easily understand ?
I do however agree with what I believe to be your sentiments, ie the level of criticism against the police is starting to reach truly absurd levels. Knocking the police for everything they do, appears to becoming very fashionable indeed. And plenty are happy to jump on the bandwagon, as is wonderfully illustrated in this daft comment :
police intelligence
Oxymoron?
I don't know/care enough about this case to have any opinion or be concerned about police actions surrounding it. I am however concerned about this government which I trust even less than the police, and whilst I might not know about these individual cases, I do know about stuff such as "innocence" and "evidence".
If these guys get deported it won't be imo, because there is a long history of people committing terrorist outrages after being arrested and released due to lack of evidence, but purely for 'political reasons'.
And that worries me.
