El Cid Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Greater Manchester Police have unveiled a new rainbow-themed patrol car, as part of a bid to tackle hate crime reporting. Not sure what duties the Police are meant to do. I understand the NHS is meant to prevent ill health, as well as fix us once we are unwell. At times of cuts to Police funding, should they be distracted by a fancy job on their cars. I know councils have adverts for their adoption service of the back of their vans. I havnt seen a Police man/woman walking the beat in years. http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2014/07/18/manchester-police-unveil-new-pride-themed-patrol-car/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey104 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Have you not noticed SYP cars? They all have a rainbow sticker in the car. Apparently it's so folk know they can report homophobic offences! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it's so folk know they can report homophobic offences! Is there such an offense? I know that people can get locked up for longer if the crime is motivated by race, is it the same with homophobia? Hate crime should carry a fitting sentence, for all offenders.

RonJeremy Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Why should it be any worse for my gay friend to be murdered for being gay than it would be for my wealthy friend to be murdered for being wealthy? I genuinely don't understand how this is so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happ Hazzard Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 SYP are the second most useless police force in the world. The worst is the Keystone Cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Why should it be any worse for my gay friend to be murdered for being gay than it would be for my wealthy friend to be murdered for being wealthy? I genuinely don't understand how this is so? I think because there is a recognition that such crimes are under reported, and society through parliament and the criminal justice system have deemed that crimes against people in one of the protected characteristics also breach the core liberal values that Britain wishes to aspire to like tolerance & inclusion.
