A Yazidi woman, after escaping from ISIS, set the veil that she was forced to wear on fire.
Because that veil represents abduction, rape, and enslavement.
@Finefinchen123 This doesn't look like the UK to me. Please correct me if I'm wrong. We don't have yellow double-decker buses. Our police do not wear this kind of uniform. The whole scenery looks wrong. Ireland perhaps?
@triffic_stuff_ The only thing that made him change his mind is a realisation that the tide turned with the Supreme Court decision and he might lose the female vote at the next election.
It's self preservation, nothing more.
The ZOOMED IN FOOTAGE shows it clearly.
Cody Harper is halfway to his feet, still stumbling up from a beating, when an officer rushes him and pins him against the shutters. She never says she's police. He's in pure fight-or-flight, still thinking it's another attacker.
So he swings to get free.
That's it. That's the whole crime they're taking him to court for.
He's at Birmingham Magistrates Court on JULY 23. That's a first hearing, not the trial. He enters his plea, and if he pleads not guilty, he can take it to a JURY. Twelve ordinary people, watching that same footage.
Prison is unlikely for a first-timer. But that was never really the point. A conviction still leaves him with a criminal record, and depending on how it goes, that can trail him for years, turning up on the background checks employers run before they hand you a job.
For a lad who was jumped in the street, that's the real cost here. Not a cell. A mark against his name he did nothing to earn.
Now the bit that should stop you cold.
Watch the SECOND officer. She walks straight up to the men who beat him, has a word, and lets them stroll off FREE. Then comes back and helps arrest the lad they attacked.
Those attackers? Weeks on. Never even arrested.
1:30am, Broad Street. Cody, 20, is set on by a group. One floors him. Another swings at the back of his head. The police are right there. They don't chase the men doing it. They grab the VICTIM.
Then the officer snarls at him, you're going to walk to the car, you f***ing dick. Try that in the street yourself and see how fast you're nicked.
Then came their statement. No concerns over the officer. And please, stop sharing the footage.
So X's own readers pinned a note under it. The footage disproves the police's account. Share it far and wide, to get justice for the man arrested. Fourteen million have seen it now.
The police asked you to look away, and the public fact-checked them on their own post.
This force is in special measures. Graded INADEQUATE on investigating crime and protecting the public. HALF the investigations inspectors checked had failed. They may have failed to log 46,000 uses of force. Their Chief Constable walked out in disgrace in January. Their crime-prediction tech gets it wrong 8 times out of 10.
Itโs not just Birmingham.
Forces everywhere got flooded with green recruits in a hiring rush while the experienced ones walked. Training and vetting couldn't keep up. So now young officers with barely any life experience are making split-second calls they aren't ready for.
Then there's the guidance. After Henry Nowak, the police are reviewing their own anti-racism policies, because officers are so busy second-guessing the optics of race, they miss the job right in front of them. Protect the victim. Arrest the attacker.
Remember Nowak? Handcuffed as he lay dying, because his killer cried racism first and they believed the liar.
Same instinct. Grab whoever looks like less trouble. Miss the actual crime.
That's not one bad officer. That's a broken force, green recruits, and a rulebook with its priorities upside down.
They found time to charge him. They still can't find the men who beat him.
Nobody's had a trial. Cody's owed his day in court like anyone. Say that plainly.
But watch that second officer let his attackers walk, read the note the public stapled to the police's own words, and ask yourself one thing.
Who are the police actually protecting here.
Because it isn't him.
@LionOfBritainUK@KingBobIIV But for elderly people like her a trip to the supermarket may be the only human interaction she experiences all day, perhaps all week. To place her in a situation where she is completely cut off is total negligence on the part of whichever department made that decision.

Why is there an underground terror tunnel under a hospital in Gaza?
This is the European Hospital in Gaza, where the IDF found a massive underground terror tunnel belonging to Hamas.
Show me one place on Earth besides Gaza that has terror tunnels under hospitals.
The BBC refused to cover this. The British Parliament refused to discuss it. Ask yourself why. This is an official Hamas video showing children in Gaza being armed and trained to become terrorists. They received aid from Islamic Relief in Britain.
