Reference :- Oh , and Alan Jones was also outraged .
Yes indeed chaps , it is one's duty to call out police brutality. Rowan , I see you had a haircut for the occasion . What a good idea , there is nothing like a fresh haircut to distinguish one from the lunatic fringe .
Gabbo directed me to your recent broadcasts , in which you chaps were finally calling out police brutality . I have noticed that you don't get outraged when a black man is shot in the back seven times in front of his three kids , or an Aborigine is killed in his own bedroom , or somebody of color dies coincidentally while a policeman is kneeling on his neck . We can always rely on you to stay calm , and express gratitude to the police who have a hard job to do , and deserve our support .
So when Gabbo told me you were totally outraged and demanding that heads roll , I figured that maybe somebody had been shot twenty times in the back in front of his six children while the cops filmed themselves laughing .... something like that .
But no , this time it was a white woman being rather politely arrested for breaking the law, which she admitted she had done . And although the policeman informed her of her rights , and didn't even shoot her or kneel on her neck , it was still a shocking thing to watch , because she is one of "us " for heaven's sake !
The anger expressed by your viewers is extreme , with calls for all manner of severe retribution . It's just as well they didn't shoot her , or there would already be violent protests in our streets .
Who knows what might happen next ? As you chaps like to point out , we need our police to maintain law and order , and they do have a hard job to do . We all know that if black folk or lefties don't like a law they still have to obey it and try to get it changed at the ballot box . But if a white mum in the burbs doesn't want to obey the law , she should be respected and listened to , for how else will stupid laws get repealed ?
Anyway , Gabbo has made a suggestion . Since you value the importance of law and order ( well , maybe not in Hong Kong , where the protests are justifiable ) we think it is important for Sky News to diffuse the situation before it gets out of hand . Gabbo reckons if you photoshop the video so that the felon is black , everybody will calm down . White folk will feel relieved that the cops are doing a wonderful job keeping the colored folk under control , and black folk will hardly notice the video since nobody was shot or choked , which is what they are used to coping with .
What do you think chaps ? It is cheating , we know , but Sky News has always done it's best to douse the flames of civil unrest , and on this occasion a little dab of boot polish , so to speak , might save the community a lot of bother .
Gabbo will keep an eye on this story for you . He reckons the real risk over the next day or two is what he calls a " death in custody " . I don't know what he means by that , surely if you are in police custody you must be safer than money in a bank ?
Your comrade , Ken
