In Conclusion.
IPCC:
The Independent Police Complaints Commission investigated and produced their own report.
It concluded that the police had completely failed to identify that Ms Pilkington and her daughter were vulnerable.
A complete decade of abuse by a gang of youth, had caused so much mental stress it resulted in fatalities.
It appears that a body of people were paid to make a report on what the public would have already concluded when the incident appeared on the news and in newspapers?
Even though Ms Pilkington had continually reported all the incidents, and even kept a detailed log, she received almost no help whatsoever.
Chief Constable Simon Cole (2007), had confirmed that the civil claim had now been settled outside of court.
One thing to note, is that it was done without any admission of liability!
He felt that it was the correct thing to do, inasmuch to draw a line under litigation?
Nothing Ever Changes:
In essence keeping something out of court does not serve the public whatsoever.
The following statements are also completely out of context with the reality, here in 2021.
The Chief Constable had also added that since the sad events in October 2007 the force had made significant changes to the way anti-social behaviour is dealt with.
It included that the way in which vulnerability is identified it would ensure that the right support would be given in the future.
That was back in 2007, and many similar incidents are displayed within these pages since that date.
Any and all rights of the public are simply being pushed aside to make way for the politically correct.
These laws that they're creating is doing nothing, but causing a divide between people.
It would serve better for the police to have a public face, and encourage open discussions to change the way that vulnerable people are treated.
Police officers need to understand that they serve the public, and have no right to simply judge people.
This quite often happens when someone is panicked by a bad event, and possibly involves them in anger.
But instead of calming them down with reassurance, the police threaten to arrest them, and simply do nothing about the true problem.
And this is where the main issues lie, because its all down to a false sense of power that many police officer assume they have over the public.
This has been a systemic problem that goes back to the very beginning of police intervention.
Power corrupts ... Absolute power corrupts absolutely?
