Brickbat: We'll Get Around to It

Most British police departments have a goal of responding to Grade 2 calls, defined as serious incidents that require a police response but aren't life-threatening, within one hour. But just 10 of the 29 police departments that responded to Freedom of Information requests by the Liberal Democrats, the U.K. political party, met that goal. The average response time for Grade 2 calls, which include burglaries and missing person reports, rose from one hour and 48 minutes in 2020 to three hours and 12 minutes in 2022. In Birmingham West, the average response time in 2022 was 13 and a half hours.

Free speech for criticizing progressive shibboleths upheld in Finland:

https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/11/free-speech-prevails-in-finland-at-a-high-cost/

“…Räsänen’s and the bishop’s charges for publicly expressing their Christian convictions on marriage and sexual ethics fell under Finland’s criminal-code prohibition on “war crimes and crimes against humanity.” Räsänen was charged for the 2019 tweet, in addition to a 2019 live radio debate and a 2004 church pamphlet she had authored long before the law under which she was prosecuted had even been drafted. Bishop Pohjola was charged for disseminating the pamphlet. ”

“In 2022, both defendants were unanimously acquitted by the Helsinki District Court, with the ruling stating that it was not the court’s job “to interpret biblical concepts.” The Finnish state prosecution was quick to appeal, culminating in an August 2023 trial and Tuesday’s verdict. At trial, the prosecution chillingly stated, “You can cite the Bible, but it is Räsänen’s interpretation and opinion about the Bible verses that are criminal.””

“When pausing to consider what it would have meant if the court had ruled the other way — rendering peaceful faith-based expression a crime in Finland, a country that receives near-perfect scores for the protection of freedoms — it’s clear that this is a win worth celebrating. But let us not forget the four years of police investigations, criminal indictments, prosecutions, and court hearings, which never should have happened in the first place in a supposedly free society.”

“Across the world, censorship at the hands of the state is a clearly visible mounting trend. On Thursday of this week, Adam Smith-Connor will face trial in England for praying silently near an abortion facility. In Mexico, both former congressman Rodrigo Iván Cortés and sitting congressman Gabriel Quadri have been tried and punished under the law for expressions on social media regarding gender identity. And as for Finland, the prosecutor has until mid January to appeal the Court of Appeal’s ruling to the Supreme Court. On Tuesday, a key victory for free speech was won, but the battle against censorship continues. “

“You can cite the Bible, but it is Räsänen’s interpretation and opinion about the Bible verses that are criminal.”

True thought police. Coming soon to the US.

[sarcasmic]

Not sure why promptness matters. If UK cops are anything like US cops, all they will do for a crime with an actual victim is take a report. It's not like they're going to collect evidence and do an investigation. They save that for victimless crimes, like drugs.

[Jerry B.]

And, of course, there are penalties for exaggerating the severity of a crime to get a quicker response.

It's time for taxpayers to rebel. They're paying insane taxes and getting...what? It is not unreasonable to demand excellent service for the money they steal from the people.

Good one!!! This is fucking hilarious!!!

Oh, you were serious?

[damikesc]

Taxpayers worldwide need to stop accepting what we are getting.

Become ungovernable.

[Nazi-Chipping Warlock]

At least when you pay protection money to the Mafia they actually leave you alone and will fuck up people who fuck with you.

[Brandybuck]

So England just like US. Got it. Protect and serve the thin blue line.

>>But just 10 of the 29 police departments ... met that goal.
