Well.....A few years ago we shot a brown person in the back of the head (11 times, while he was face down on the floor) on BTP's patch. There was quite a bit of paperwork for that one though. Not exactly the MET's finest hour.

The fallout from that was classic though

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) launched two investigations. Stockwell 1, the findings of which were initially kept secret, concluded that none of the officers would face disciplinary charges. Stockwell 2 strongly criticized the police command structure and communications to the public, bringing pressure on the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair to resign. In July 2006, the Crown Prosecution Service said there was insufficient evidence to prosecute any of the officers, although a corporate criminal prosecution of the Metropolitan Police was brought under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. This alleged that the police service had failed in its duty of care to Menezes. The service was found guilty and fined.

You can't shoot Brazilians in the head from a distance of less than a metre any more, it's health and safety gone mad.

Two officers fired a total of eleven shots according to the number of empty shell casings found on the floor of the train afterwards. The leaked IPCC documents also indicated that an additional three shots had missed Menezes.

US police detain giant tortoise after brief chase

Police in Alhambra in greater Los Angeles have recaptured a giant tortoise called Clark after a brief chase along the city's streets. "The tortoise did try to make a run for it, but our officers are pretty fast," said the Alhambra Police Department on its Facebook page.

It took two officers to manoeuvre the 150lb (70kg) reptile into a police car. Clark was taken to an animal rescue centre, from where he was later claimed by his owners. Keeping giant desert tortoises is illegal without a permit, but police will not be prosecuting Clark's owners. "We enjoy keeping families together, so an exception was made in this case," Alhambra police said.

A local expert identified Clark as a sulcata tortoise, or African spurred tortoise, native to the southern fringes of the Sahara desert. Gary Wilfong of the California Turtle and Tortoise Club told the Los Angeles Times that Clark looked like an 18- to-20-year-old male. Tortoises can run as fast as 1mph (1.6km/h) "if they really want to," Mr Wilfong said.

look at that criminal mastermind right there guys

Police Scotland have started doing routine patrols with armed police, preparing to crush dissent after the crowning of His Majesty King Alexander I of Scotland on September 19th.

I quite like the reversal of the US gun control argument in there though, if we give the police guns then criminals will have to get guns too!

Met Commissioner cut short interview to make arrest

The Metropolitan Police Commissioner interrupted an interview with BBC London 94.9 to jump into a taxi and make an arrest.

Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe was near Bruce Grove station in Tottenham, north London, when a taxi driver said his passengers had refused to pay the fare and had stolen his mobile phone. He jumped into the taxi in pursuit and arrested a suspect some distance away.

The Met Police said a 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of theft. Sir Bernard was being interviewed with BBC London 94.9's Eddie Nestor on the issue of cuts the force had to make when the minicab driver approached him.

The commissioner's bodyguard, who also got into the minicab with Sir Bernard, arrested another suspect nearby, it is understood.

(serves him right for going to bloody Tottenham)

Notting Hill Carnival, a glorious event where coppers get ground on by costumed ladies, the air is fresh with the smells of weed and jerk chicken, the streets run with piss and there's occasionally some gang crime.

Carnival. Carnival never changes.
