Brickbat: Community Policing

SWNS

You aren't supposed to ride a bicycle on the footpath. But a Lincolnshire, England, police officer wasn't content just to remind Sophie Lindley, 4, and her father of that fact when he caught the two headed off to school. Dale Lindley says the officer threatened to confiscate the bike, reducing his daughter to tears and forcing him to carry her and the bike the rest of the way to school.

I posted this in AM Links a few weeks ago. Where's my hat-tip? WHERE IS MY HAT-TIP?

Postrel, for a magazine called Reason, cancel my subscription, etc etc...

I've made $64,000 so far this year working online and I'm a full time student. I'm using an online business opportunity I heard about and I've made such great money. It's really user friendly and I'm just so happy that I found out about it. Heres what I've been doing,

Alternative headline: Jailers say deaf man is not LISTENING!!!11!

How do you say stop resisting in sign language?

[WTF]

They let the night stick do the talking.

It's even worse when he's in handcuffs -- his hands can still talk to each other.

I thought bikes in Airstrip One were plusgood.

[UnCivilServant]

But this was the footpath, Slammer, not the bikepath!

Don't you see the difference?

At least now, you can get your dick fix without having to leave the comfort of your home...

I wish British police would show the same moxy against real criminals. You know, like the ones in Rotherdam and Oxfordshire.

Instead, the protectors take it out on a four year-old.

[SusanM]

four year-olds don't fight back.

...and thus, another libertarian was created. Hopefully.

Naaah - Britain. Therefore, more likely, creating another cowering simp bowing before the state so as not to be bothered, taking out her frustration in alcohol, sex with multiple, unkown partners, soccer hooliganism and government cheese.

Sad, really...

[Rufus J. Firefly]

In fairness, soccer hooliganism is under control. If only they could deal with the Islamic-terrorists hooligans.

"Safety is our priority and cycling on the pavement is illegal. However, common sense obviously prevails and in the case of young children, officers would use their discretion and offer the most appropriate advice for the circumstances."

"Get off my pavement!"

[Almanian!]

"...common sense obviously prevails..."

You lie!
