(The disembodied head of a masked Terror Police contemplates its actions; note painted monster-design to intimidate news-crews.)Police have been granted more time to question their own consciences over the death of a bystander in the G20 protests of this April 1st after initial enquiries drew a blank.
Judge Justice Barry Posilippo-Philippus granted the request as police submitted that, almost one month on, they still fail to grasp the seriousness of the attack which left a human man dead.
“In complicated cases like these,” said the judge, “there can be literally hundreds of hours of soul-searches to conduct. Credos and raisons-d’être need to be assessed, and sometimes even reassessed. We are still in the early years of the inquiry, and many of the officers involved are just too psyched up to care.”
But Police Complaints Czar, Sir [NAME UNAVAILABLE, NUMBER COVERED UP] called it “trial by media,” saying, “This would all have been a tragic accident if it hadn’t been seen.”
“We have yet to appreciate the wrong,” conceded a spokespolice for the Queen’s Royal Metropolitans and City, anonymous under his balaclava mask and ritual scarring. “The investigation is still at an early stage though, and we hope to make a moral breakthrough in the near future. Till then, who can blame us for circulating slanders about our enemies the British people?”
