Rapists Yes - Police No
So it's vital to pursue alleged sex crimes from the 1960's, but police brutality in 1984 is too long ago to be pursued.

I'm no great fan of the police but I do accept that the CPS would find it extremely hard to pursue a case against any specific officer for what occurred at Orgreave. Perhaps the IPCC is simply being realistic?
I've worked (on the railways) alongside a former Suffolk copper who was sent to assist at Orgreave (and elsewhere) during the miners' strike. He made no secret of the fact that he and his colleagues regarded it as an excellent opportunity 'for a bit of a punch up'. (He also mentioned removing their shoulder flashes, so that they couldn't easily be identified). I've little doubt that he committed criminal offences while on duty but I imply can't see how anyone could actually prove it.
Incidentally, that guy had previously been in the army. He had many weeks off work in order to attend the Blood Sunday enquiry, suggesting that he might have been one of the troops who'd opened fire on unarmed civilians. Perhaps we have to accept (however reluctantly) that the armed forces and police will always attract such people to their ranks?

Not everyone regards rape as a particularly serious offence, Ummm.
I've had two guys try to rape me, at knifepoint, on the floor of a public toilet n Ipswich. They only failed because someone came into the toilet. I met one of them a fortnight later and happily bought him a pint. (I'd have done exactly he same if he'd have succeeded in his aim in the toilet; I simply don't see it as important).

I can't change my own views, Ummmm. I believe that we over-react to many crimes. For example I believe that murder shouldn't always be a custodial offence and that the absolute maximum sentence for ANY offence shouldn't be more than (at the very most) two years imprisonment.
However, as a moderator, I DO take other people's views into account. For example, I've removed posts that have been deliberately designed to cause offence to Christians (even though I detest Christianity) whle, at the same time, recognised Goodlife's right to post his constant twaddle (even though I'd love to ban him).

>>>Who's we?
Those of us who see ALL emotions as WEAKNESS, MC, to be abhorred and removed from society. It makes no difference as to whether such emotions are love, hate, compassion, rage or whatever. They're all examples of inefficiency within the human race and need to be expunged. Our species won't have reached its logical end-point until we all function solely as machines, with EFFICIENCY as our sole goal.
