The pictures of James Clark-s severely mutilated hand are hard to look at - So is the footage of him being muscled into a British Police station by several burly constables - without due process of being booked in - and severely assaulted in a cell in Llanelli - Wales on 20th June 2016 after he was arrested following a complaint from a neighbour over noise during a domestic dispute -
The videos do not show him being threatened with a stun-gun - in contravention of the United Nations Convention Against Torture - and neither do they show him being gassed with chemical irritant - both these weapons were turned on Mr Clark during his physical subjugation and legal arrest by the squad -
(18th December 2017: CORRECTION: It has emerged that Mr Clark was NOT sprayed with irritant - this lie was spread by The Sun - Britain-s foulest newspaper - I apologize for any confusion caused by this)
They do show what happened after the man had been stripped naked and seriously worked-over by several large law-upholders - When they finally dismount him and leave him alone he goes to the door and it is slammed on his fingers - again - the film is very hard to watch - be warned -
There are certain inescapable similarities with so many other cases - Jordan Begley of Manchester - Andrew Pimlott of Plymouth - Marc Cole of Falmouth amongst others - police are called to what is often a potentially-controllable emotional-crisis and it ends in death or serious injury due to excessive and quite unnecessary use of force - In so many of these cases there seems little or no attempt to de-escalate a volatile situation but rather a gang of heavies wades in and starts throwing their weight around - (as with Sean Rigg for example)
Happily this is not always the case and my respect goes out to all police men and women who act with discretion and humanity when upholding the law - I have no problem with proper police-activity but will vigorously expose and oppose corruption and violence whenever I encounter it - This is one of the rights my family fought wars for and I am happy to enjoy my freedom as much as possible - Sadly my actual right of democratic representation has been violated and abandoned by my lying rogue-MP Derek Thomas but I am at least free to write - publish and speak my mind in public -
I only heard about what happened to James Clark today and will be publishing more about his case in the near future - The kind of police-behaviour described here is precisely what gives police a bad image in the public eye and undermines all the efforts of every good cop in the nation - Llanelli Police might inspire fear or perhaps contempt amongst the public they are paid to serve - but have they settled for the public-s fear at the cost of the respect that police can achieve when they act properly?
Notes:
James Clark had to battle the "authorities" to get hold of the film-evidence from the police-cells that they wanted to suppress from public attention -
It is typical in Britain - as elsewhere - in cases where police assault citizens for the victim to then be accused of assaulting the police - as I can verify from the personal experience of a British citizen whom I interviewed in a previous case -
If James Clark assaulted a cop in front of several other cops as they claimed - why did the court believe otherwise and find otherwise - why were the police-s statements "inconsistent?"
Mr Clark was not booked-in on arrival at the police station as is customary and lawful but was forced along to the cells in a headlock - police were wearing blue rubber globes - a typical sign of impending police-violence -
After the savage assault was over three of James Clark-s fingers lay on the floor of the police station - This reminds me strongly of the case of Darren Rainey - the black Muslim man who was tortured to death by the State of Florida on 23rd June 2012 and whose skin was scraped off the floor and thrown into the trash - a similar disregard for basic humanity is demonstrated in both cases
The hours-long delay in getting Mr Clark the urgent medical attention required after finger-amputation is obviously another grave crime by the police -
The fact that the police committed the assault knowing the camera was watching suggests to me that they acted on an assumption of impunity -
WHY DID THE COPS STRIP HIM NAKED?
WHY DID A GANG OF THEM ABUSE AND BATTER HIM?
WHY DID THEY LEAVE HIM SCREAMING IN AGONY ISOLATED IN A CELL WITH THREE FINGERS MISSING WHEN THEIR DUTY WAS TO PROTECT HIS WELL-BEING?
WHY HAVE THESE THUGS BEEN ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS AND CARRY ON AS PUBLIC SERVANTS?
WHAT KIND OF MONSTROSITY IS THIS?
