Zach Polanski is evil thread 2

😂
I think that's a brilliant idea!

I think anyone who criticises what the police have done here should all have their names entered into a raffle and their names pulled out to attend an incident and see what they'd do.

Sharon in Chichester? Congratulations, he's got an axe. Good luck! 😂

"I am watching a clip of James O'Brien now. He is taking calls, largely from male callers with regional accents, many of whom have apparently served in the police. O'Brien is falling over himself to be sycophantic, and continually mentioning how he admires people who put themselves in harms way"

@Sheeled - Yeah, those bloody cops putting themselves in harms way every day to protect you and yours. Pricks.

Also, what's regional accents got to do with it? Your snobbery is showing love.

Yes, what a brave man. Just shows you how many decent folk there are out there.
People who court division and hatred should bear that in mind.

100%

The posts defending ZP sound just like those who justified ICE killing Renée Nicole Macklin Good in Minnesota. Same tribal rhetoric and playbook. Anger prompts higher social media engagement than any other emotion so no wonder ZP doubled down. It could however backfire, even if I supported Green policies I'd be ashamed to be seen voting Green now and I'm sure there are many others that feel the same.

That's why he's riding on obvious issues eg Palestine and "police brutality"

The only different is ZP is a total wimp.

Don't forget how much of this is being driven by online mobbing. It's arguably a proportion of bots that may be involved too.

Anyone posting "all lives matter" after the murder of George Floyd (which I guess many thought this might echo) would have been cancelled as an unspeakable racist..

It's ok now though when it's a more unfavorable ethnicity for many of those same users.

Essentially the greens are copying the far rights /MAGA playbook and backatcha for kicks.

I agree, all three men are similar; populists, whipping up division because it's easy, it's a way to get power.

No MR has police who need to deal with high risk situations such as potential exploding devices even if they are not armed. They need to do it on a busy street and one dime of us could be walking down. So no to this.

He's one of the good guys and was very brave.

Probably get criticised by some for trying to kick the attacker's arm 🙄

This article brought tears to my eyes.

What a fantastic guy.
Compare the weaselly ZP with that. This Iranian man saved lives. Zack on the other hand did the exact opposite, he stoked up tensions thus contributing to further endangering people. This man showed compassion across cultures and religions recognising each others humanity as a key common denominator.
Zack is abusing his reach and power to foster division and hatred for political gain. He disgusts me in the same way Trump and farage disgust me.

I know - it makes me wonder if MN bans anyone any longer apart from new people who present immediately as trolls.

You see the same regular users trot out antisemitic posts (several of which get deleted) or constantly derail threads about harm towards Jewish people, but no suspension. Whereas in the past I think they were stricter about the number of deleted posts before a suspension or ban.

More tolerance towards antisemitism or extreme political parties - not a good look for Mumsnet.

The same way black people can be racist?

Or the way some way women can be against women having equal rights with men.

What, you think that given a choice to a) kick a man who definitely has a knife, and may well have a gun, in the head so he uses his hands to protect his head (and hence drops the knife/can’t detonate the bomb); or b) think ‘ooh no, we can’t kick this terrorist in the head, what about his human rights’; that the police should prioritise his rights and wellbeing over those of everyone around him and let him just carry on?

What the actual fuck are you on?

Cop yourself on.

So the terrorist spends the rest of his life in prison - what an absolute drain on our society!

The police followed their training for managing a violent suspect who has a knife they were refusing to give up, and possibly a bomb as well. A kick to the head is to get the suspect to let go of the knife. Surely you know this by now?

Police should not continue kicking a detainee. Ever. Definitely not in the head.

MR has stepped outside the rules for the police during purdah and should remain impartial. Not known a senior cop yet who wasn’t all for any party reducing tax on the wealthy.

Tatchell has been busy .

Yesterday morning he was challenging fun sized green deputy Mothin Ali as to why he didn't sign the LGBTQ pledge.

Later he's called out the left groups to march against anti semitism

These are people with their own agenda, who won't let truth come in the way of peddling their agenda. "When the truth isn't on your side, shout the loudest".

The reality is that the terrorist is very lucky that he wasn't shot, given a) he was armed with a knife and refusing to give it up b) he had a backpack that could have contained explosives.

It cracks me up how anyone can not be embarrassed to be so stupid as to start criticising police dealing with an attacking nut job.
Do these people not live in the real world ffs.

Yes! So many armchair critics, i'm just glad the police stopped him from killing anyone, by whatever means they could use. I don't waste a second of sympathy for lunatic cold blooded murderers. In most countries around the world he would have been shot dead. My opinion on this one is that he was lucky that our police are sometimes spot on.

Absolutely, he talks of good relations between the Iranians and Jews in Golders Green, and he just sees humans.

Hatzola did indeed treat the terrorist following the taser.

It would be great to see less division and tribalism.

Sadly I see some posters here who are intent on causing division.
