When people got fitted up do you think the coppers were trying to fill a quota or do you think they actually thought the poor sods did it?
Oh, they thought they did it! Well, that's all right then! Vigilantism and brutality versus increased bureacracy-it's no contest.

I fail to see how being willing to frame people, intimidate witnesses, plant evidence and all the rest of the stuff that went on back then is evidence of moral fibre. In any case, we were talking about a case of police brutality-which would be absolutely guaranteed to be dealt with far more seriously now in the UK.
