from the safe side of the debate [time wise] the pm has declared her abhorrence for the whole police rape trial scenario. as i understand the term, leaders should lead, not follow once they get a taste for how the public feels about it. this [obvious] waiting until it's safe before venturing an opinion seems calculated and lacking in fortitude. is it good to watch the pm kick a man while he is down?
what if they're wrong? what if rickards is guilty of having a bit of consensual fun?
it seems to me that reinstating him as district commander would be far fetched as he has had his integrity besmirched. having group sex with a teen is hardly the behaviour model 'we' want from "our" police force. the public no longer has confidence in him or the police for that matter. troubling to say the least.
