Fixed it.  But when you’ve read one you’ve read ‘em all.

Yesterday morning, when this story broke, I went right through the Brit dailies looking for tell-tale signs of the gunman’s ethnicity.  Not a thing.  The police were obviously operating an information lock-down.  But even so the MSM had interviewed people who were close to the event, and even then no description of the suspect was forthcoming - not a clue.  The story was as well laundered as any Colombian drug cartel’s millions.

If we are indeed dealing with a black or brown gunman here, the police particularly, but also the MSM are plainly learning.

The BNP website reports that The Sun has identified the assailant as a Afro-Caribbean drug-dealer.  And here is that report.

ROOKIE cop Rachael Bown was gunned down on what should have been a routine inquiry.

The WPC and an experienced colleague went to investigate reports of a burglary.

Police sources said the pair were two streets from the scene in their patrol car when they spotted a black man lurking on a corner.

Rachael, 23, is understood to have asked him for his details and a “very short conversation” took place. As she went to radio in to check the information the man produced a gun and fired — possibly twice.

... It was not known whether the shooting — the latest in a series in Nottingham — was connected to the burglary. But police were working on the theory the gunman may have been a drug dealer desperate to avoid his weapon being found.

A police source said: “Lenton is a burglary black-spot but is not renowned for violence.

“However, the shooting happened in a part of the district which borders an area known for a lot of drug dealing where there have been shootings.”

The BNP describes The Sun as “admittedly not the most reliable of sources”.  But the wall-to-wall silence of the rest of the media argues eloquently for the accuracy of its claim this time.

So, the story is three or four days old and the embargo is lifted, but probably only thanks to The Sun.

From the Daily Telegraph:-

Last night police were hunting a known Yardie-style gangster in connection with the shooting. He is described as a Jamaican in his late 20s, who is a low-level cocaine dealer. He is understood to have been operating in the area where the shooting took place for four years.

Today there are no qualms from the MultiCultists of BBC News about giving a desription of two masked men who hijacked a van at Sandbach northbound services on the M6 yesterday:-

The gang wore black woollen hoods and are described as white and unshaven. One spoke with a Manchester accent.

Unshaven, even.  Amazing what detail the media can bring itself to report when there are no left-political shibboleths to protect.

Tonight the BBC TV news was still confining itself to saying that the man sought for the attack on PC Brown was ‘understood to be a drug dealer’ known in the area.

If the Currant Bun dips a toe in the water, the Beeb follows after a decent interval. But its website only talks about ‘a burglar’. Sky News has him as a ‘gunman’, as does The Grauniad, though the old liberal rag drops heavy hints about ‘high levels of gun crime and violence linked to drug gangs’ in the area.

And here’s an interesting angle from the Daily Express:

The husband of murdered shopkeeper Marion Bates has criticised police for revealing so little about their hunt for the man who shot trainee policewoman Rachael Bown in the same city.

“We have got a public in Nottingham that is 99.9% wanting to help and we are not allowed to help because they won’t share anything with us.”

The police have issued no detailed description of the miscreant three days after the shooting, so it isn’t only the BBC that is guarding its tongue.

Of course it is all a pantomime: the poor old British public will have jumped to the right conclusion the moment they heard the magic words gun, policewoman and inner city. God knows we’ve had enough practice.

There is a picture up now on The BBC website.  This has followed an official police request for information so even the Beeb has had to publish the unpleasant truth.

yes.

The police are nothing more than the hired thugs of the corrupt powers that be. Who serve their interests & protect their own asses. Just hired thugs. Who murder on command.

They are the communist enforcers.
