Notting Hill Carnival Shooting: Father Slams Police.

The father of a 14-year-old boy who was shot in the leg at the Notting Hill carnival today launched a scathing attack on the police officer who at first tried to arrest the lad, and then let him make his own way to hospital!!!

Ryan Ramsey, 14, heard bullets bouncing off the walls when one hit him in the leg. But when he told a police officer his arms were wrestled up his back and he was thrown to the floor, as if under arrest.

How can this happen in a city like London, in broad daylight, with thousands of revellers present and hundreds of police officers?

The answer is simple. Ryan Ramsey is WHITE!



Notice no sympathy for the 14-year-old boy from either the police officer or the black mouthpiece in the video, both of whom are more concerned about preserving their jobs.

The hijab-wearing 17-year-old Muslim girl hired as a community police officer

A Muslim teenager has been named as one of the 'babies on the beat' as police community support officers.

The Daily Mail revealed on Monday how Thames Valley police were employing two 16-year-old schoolleavers as PCSOs.

Yesterday it emerged that the force also recruited three 17-year-olds, including Nadia Naeem, now 18, who wears the hijab.

All now have the power to detain and question suspects.

Babies on the beat: Two 16-year-olds are recruited as community bobbies

Two 16-year-olds have been recruited as police community support officers with the authority to detain and question suspects.

The pair, just out of school, will join foot patrols from a 'busy' police station.

The move by Thames Valley Police has triggered a row about public safety and allegations that forces - and the Government - are trying to "police on the cheap".

The teenagers are two years too young to join the regular police force. If they were offenders, they would be tried in juvenile rather than adult courts.

Yet they will have a string of powers, including the right to detain offenders, stop and search under terror laws, issue penalty notices for disorder and stop vehicles.
