Compensation for the friend of Lawrence - Beyond Belief(permalink)

Posted by Rod Eaton on Saturday, 11th March 2006 Last updated Saturday, 11th March 2006
Post traumatic stress is something we don't even compensate our troops for properly and they fight for their country.

It is beyond belief that the tax payer is expected to pay out £100,000 in compensation because some 'poor innocent' feels that he was treated like a criminal by the police. If we all get this level of compensation because we feel our egos a little bruised by the police then the exchequer will soon be broke!! However, I feel it would not have been the case for a white person 'suffering' similar ' trauma!!' If only white people were treated as equals with black people!! Equality Yes Please...let's have some for everyone!!

How much compensation did the family of the police officer stabbed in race riots or PC Yvonne Fletcher, killed by a diplomatically immune terrosist, get? What compensation did families of police and troops killed by the IRA receive?? This country is enacting a sad apology for its colonial past. Please let's move on and not make the indiginous population pay out as scapegoats for the minorities so over-represented on TV and pampered by 'political correctness!'.
