GOES TO.....................Gwent Police.
Although i am going to
try and stay in my remit of the 'Greater Stourbridge' area, with a foray or two into the West Midlands region when appropriate - i will, and want, to make an
exception for the
Police.
Am i living in a la-la land where the
Police used to address you as
'sir' and say please and thank-you? Or am i doing drugs? Gone are the halcyon days where a smile, politeness and a bit of civility cost
fuck all.
Note - the motto, but
why isn't it in Welsh? Are
you reassured?
For the actions of 2 of their brave 'officers' in apprehending and destroying the car of a .................pensioner! Yes, a pensioner, somebody who probably fought to keep this country free of uniformed, power-abusing, bully-boy thugs like..........................
them!
'Stinger-Man..................................' 'Thug'

Above,
left - An officer, literally, 'races' from his vehicle and proceeds to repeatedly hit the drivers side window until it breaks. It must be made of some sort of 'toughened' glass because the ASP baton is made from HSS (High Speed Steel) as are most items designed to break safety glass. The second frame to the right is
'Stinger-Man' rushing to aid '
Thug'.
Bear in mind that the driver of the Range Rover has just been seen by the
Police and they are well aware that he is a pensioner - why the
fuck do they need to pursue him when his number-plate will reveal all the details, address etc unless it is false! Never mind the totally unnecessary damage to the window and the bonnet, there is the very real danger of injuring the driver. Indeed the twat nearly hits a second
'Stinger-Man' whilst the other one is carrying out the '
GwentFuzz-WarDance' on the bonnet!
Not a week seems to go by without a headline-grabbing plod over-stepping the line and abusing his 'powers of arrest'. This week has been
no exception!
After all the
Police do 'think' that they employ
'exceptional' people don't they? Well, that depends on
your interpretation of the word.
Below is an essence of unfolding events....

Baton cop smashed disabled OAP's car and stamped on windscreen -
Above - Robert Whatley, pensioner and
'menace to society'.
Two police officers were taken off operational duty after a 70-year-old man who drove away when he was stopped for not wearing a seatbelt complained they smashed his car window and kicked his windscreen.
One officer repeatedly hit the driver-side window of Robert Clive Whatley's Range Rover with a baton while another stood on the bonnet.
Above - 'War-Dance' from one very frustated plod.
Stroke victim Robert Whatley, 70, was pulled over in his Range Rover but drove off as officers tried to give him a ticket. He was reportedly followed for 17 minutes after driving off while Gwent Police officers issued him with a fixed penalty notice.
The court heard he drove away because he thought he had been dealt with and needed his medication for a heart condition and a stroke, the Western Mail reported.
Whatley, who stayed within the speed limit during the pursuit, thought the police car following him was sounding its siren and had its blue lights on because it was escorting him home.

Retired businessman Mr Whatley said: "I couldn't believe what was happening. The police went completely over the top - you would have thought I had robbed a bank.
"I was terrified when they started smashing in the window and trying to kick in the windscreen. I tried to shield myself but I was showered with glass which could easily have gone into my eyes.
"It's something you might expect in America but not in the quiet of the British countryside."
Mr Watley was later charged with several motoring offences and appeared at Caerphilly Magistrates Court.
He admitted not wearing his seatbelt when he was first spotted by police but claimed he had been reversing at the time.
The court heard that as the officer went round to the passenger side the car lurched forward and the officer alleged he was knocked - a claim disputed by Mr Whatley.
"I was displaying my medication needs and the officer was ignoring me.
"My survival instinct was such that I was trying to assist the officer the best I could. I feared another stroke.
"I thought he had finished with me. I just drove off coolly and calmly and not off at speed."
Mr Whatley said he had become confused during the pursuit.
But he finally pulled over when he was confronted by a police "stinger" device on the road into Usk.
Above - Whatley being banged to rights. Looks like he is wearing 'jeans', how many pensioners wear jeans? My Grandad never wore jeans, that's a sign of a hard bastard IMO.
The court heard that as the officer went round to the passenger side the car lurched forward and the officer alleged he was knocked – a claim disputed by Whatley.
Mr Whatley was found guilty of not wearing a seatbelt, failing to stop for a police officer and having tinted car windows that did not conform to legal requirements.
Above - Here's one windscreen that does'nt conform to legal requirements thanks to a twat from the Gwent Police.....
But he was cleared of failing to stop after an accident.
He admitted having a registration plate which did not adhere to regulations and was fined a total of £235 and ordered to pay £300 towards prosecution costs.
UNQUOTE -
It tells you something about
Police priorities when they can spend 17 minutes chasing a belligerent pensioner in order to
'give 'im a slap' and
'show 'im 'oos boss' but when it comes to issues of domestic violence from somebody who had been on the
Police radar for a while they, not surprisingly, fail miserably...
QUOTE -
999 operators let down mother murdered by ex
Joanna Michael was stabbed 22 times by her jealous ex-boyfriend and called the emergency services from her home.
She had to wait 22 minutes for a response and was dead by the time officers arrived at her home in St Mellons, Cardiff, in August last year.
Ms Michael was denied ‘timely help’ because of a ‘fatal combination of technological and human errors,’ the Independent Police Complaints Commission found.
Her first call was misrouted by the mobile phone mast system to Gwent Police which slowed the eventual response from South Wales police.
She was further let down by two call handlers who are now facing disciplinary action.
‘More could and should have been done for Joanna, who was denied the opportunity for a prompt response which may have led to a different outcome,’ said IPCC Commissioner for Wales Tom Davies.
UNQUOTE -
Now, it does'nt take too much brain power to work out that Mr Whatley has incorporated a certain amount of poetic license into his version of events, he is also no stranger to the
Police but does the initial reason for stopping him warrant the subsequent behaviour of 2 of
Gwent Polices' 'finest' - i think not!
Mr Whatley has given his subjective opinion and his treatment during this event and also the ongoing situation 'as he perceived it' - there is nothing wrong with that, the
Police do it all the time. They are no strangers in being economic with the truth.
Take the current recruitment and poster campaign for
Gwent Police....
Can't you just
feeel the power!
Below, husband and wife team, based in Newport, nice uniform, nice tan, complete with poppy, nice touch, all
they need is an armband.
Above,
right, nice uniform, nice tan, all
he needs is a poppy.
Below - passing out parades, 70 years might seperate these pictures but as far as the mentality is concerned not a lot has changed.
There's even something for the kids.....
Here is
my opinion for what it is worth -
Robert Whatley
has had issues with the
Police before, he is
70 years old, I am.....a bit younger than that! by the time you are my age, let alone his you will have been on the receiving end of
Polices' power-abuse, bullying, thugishness etc etc. It also does not take
too long to realise that most of them are
not employed for their intelligence. After all, the first law of oxymoron
is Police Intelligence. Most do
not enter the service to be kind and helpful to the taxpaying citizen or solve crime. The benefits of sick-leave, overtime and a fat pension are the big carrots.
The
Police fail to impress most, normal, people. They are viewed as a neccersary evil at best but are not trusted to carry out their assigned duties by the general public. Anybody who has been a victim of everyday 'low-level' crime will tell you that.
Robert Whatley appears to have a healthy disrespect for the
Police, i am the same. I am not totally ant-
Police but whoever i am dealing with has to impress me.
Most do not.
My local
Police could spend
all day stopping people with over-tinted windscreens and dodgy number plates - but that would mean working when they could be shopping for food so obviously they have to prioritise their time.
Let the brave boys from Gwent do a few shifts in Birmingham chasing people with 'personalised' number plates or tinted windows and watch the body-count pile up. As usual they have chosen a soft target and the over-reaction has been enormous. Why?, because Robert Whatley does'nt give a
fuck what he says to the
Police and is not impressed by the stab-proof vest etc. The
Police do not like people that they cannot impress and intimidate so Robert was pursued and taught a lesson. Let us hope that there will be some sort of retribution for these
'peoples servants'.
It is high time that the
Police were reminded that
they are the servants and
not the masters.
Unfortunately the lure of a uniform and power without restraint especially when the majority of any witnesses to an incident will be your 'mates' and the fact that you can flex that power and intimidate people attracts a certain type of person. The army or the prison service should be the place for these people.
Or a psychiatric institution.
"What d'ya mean i'm too mentally unstable
even for the
Police?"
Gwent Police know Robert Whatley, they have old scores to settle - in their own inimitable way.
The
Police cannot be allowed to act in this manner otherwise they will treat anybody, who has 'form' in the same manner.
The
Police are members of a great big club and everybody else are non-members. It is important to remember that when attempting to empathise with them.
Whatever next? The Welsh constabulary are forever in the news for either being overbearing, overpaid, overweight, aggressive, lazy or preoccupied with motorists (don't go to North Wales where there is that deadly combination of
GATSO and
FATSO,
not to be messed with).
All is not lost, people generally and pensioners in particular have had enough of lazy, aggressive coppers with too much testosterone and nobody to share it with.
Below - a 'bent', sorry
Gwent copper desperately trying to find
somebody to share his 'interests' and testosterone.
But - all is
not lost, the fightback
has begun..............A shadowy, covert organisation known as the '
Gwent
Grey
Panthers' (
GGP) is rumoured to exist. Made up, in the main, of pensioners who have either fought for this country or undergone national service in order to make the place better for the next generation and this is how they get treated by military wannabees like the
Gwent Police! 'The Whatley Incident' was the last straw for a few of them....
Don't confuse them with 'Dads Army,
they mean business.
Below - typical
GGP 'hit and run' attack on a
Police car whilst the driver was in 'The Chippie'
Unfortunately successes like this are few and far between, the
GGP are only a small
'Band of Brothers'. The resources of the
Police are such that retaliation and punishment to anybody suspected of hiding intelligence and offering succour is usually swift.....Punishment beatings, kneecapping and summary execution have been rumoured, in the past.

NOTE - Careful examination of the sononagram (

This shows how seriously the Authorities are taking the
GGP.

Sadly, most, if not all, of Whatleys old 'friends' from the
GGP have either been hunted down, moved abroad (to England) or are rumoured to be 'ticking over' working as 'sleepers' as civilian operatives in a number of
Police stations in
Gwent. They
might look a bit doddery and smell of piss and cabbage but they are just biding their time. They do not need to be 'activated' like a robot or 'handled' via a Blackberry like the Jigaboos. Just an 'incident will suffice, an 'incident' like the 'Whatley incident' in November 2009
Sady, coppers treating people of Mr Whatleys age, come to think of
anybody of
any age actually
belong to a bygone age - where the Summers were warmer and there always seemed to be more butterflies about.

Doing what the

not catching criminals).........
singing!
Here is how it should be done.........

Whereas this lot, just passing out, would rather be singing............
http://vimeo.com/14177414 Mmmmmm it feels so goooood.
Robert Whatley is not the only high-profile pensioner to have a grudge with the
Police here's another one venting his spleen......I for one can't wait for my bus pass and minigun license!

Here's one he made earlier....

Somehow i don't think we've heard the last of Mr Whatley
'he'll be baack...' i'm sure!
Finally a small hole has been reported in Newport town centre -
Police are looking into it.
Remember - when driving in
Gwent, drive.......
Caerphilly,
RANT OVER !
