Re: Hillsborough inquest
Not trying to poke this hornets nest again….but…..I do realise many of the police constables were ill informed and poorly instructed -e.g. those outside the gates who would not allow the fire brigade and ambulances through but we have all seen the footage showing other fans trying to help their fellows while some police officers stood in the middle of the crowd doing nothing. Many officers were doing all they could to help but not all. Many of the relatives also told how they were treated like dirt by individual officers. The sickening thing was, constables on duty that day have claimed and been awarded compensation because they suffered from PTSD. The families who had to watch there loved ones die on TV, the families who had to look at the pictures of the bodies, the families who were spoken to like dirt and had their dead friends and family members vilified by the police and in the media have had to fight tooth and nail squeeze out the truth. They had to hack away at a wall of lying conspirators for 27 years.
They suffered the stress of watching their loved ones die on TV- They should be compensated. They were lied to by the police -they should be compensated. They were treated like scum -they should be compensated. Their deceased loved ones were accused of being drunk hooligans -they should be compensated.
In fact everyone in that pen who was wrongly accused of causing those deaths should be compensated. I bet their stress and flash backs are more harrowing and intense than the police officers. Those accused of robbing the dead and urinating on their bodies should be compensated.
When you think of how much the police’s defence of this has cost us along with the officer’s compensation and ‘keep your mouth shut’ golden handshakes it makes me sick. Yes this has already cost us a lot but that is hardly the fault of the Hillsborough victims, their friends, families and fellow fans so they should be compensated.
If I wrote an article accusing someone of causing the death of another and then urinating and stealing from their dead body I would be sued to kingdom come and back!
