FFS, Gringo! I'm beginning to think there's something SERIOUSLY wrong with your reasoning skills. I QUOTE bird, himself and you STILL deny what he said. You MIGHT find something which counters it, but the fact remains, HE SAID IT. How dare you imply he meant something different by it just to suit your own desperate need to be right. How DARE you say that everyone who disagrees with YOU -CAL, even Bird himself- is wrong You're trying to play with words and it's not working.
The quote had already been put into its full context earlier in this thread. I will do it again so that you can not read it again.
Supt. McKay: And with the greatest respect to you you were there as a photographer
PC Bird: I was down at the other end of the command chain, so to speak. Well I was, there's
nobody lower than me, the van driver and the photographer
Supt. McKay: And then ...
DS Young: Actually could I clarify that bit. Am I right in saying that it's actual your, when you were
headquarters, it was your specialist role for major incidents.
PC Bird: There was three of us as that specialist role.
Supt. McKay: Of taking photographs
PC Bird: Yeah
DS Young: Of major incidents
PC Bird: We do all the chemical treatment at headquarters and as and when a major incident
come up that they required a photographer we was on a rota basis the three of us, and
it was just the luck of the draw which one you get.
Supt. McKay: Was that sort of 24 hour cover was it David
PC Bird: Yeah we took it in turns to provide a 24 hour cover.
DS Young: Thank you
Now can you point me to where I denied that Bird said this. I actually quoted it in full which is hardly a denial or do you just not read anything before shouting through your computer screen.
Nothing wrong with my reasoning skills. Bird calls himself a specialist. DS young calls him a specialist in the interview that you quote from but apparently you missed all of that part.
The part that you quote, I was down at the other end of the command chain, so to speak. Well I was, there's nobody lower than me, the van driver and the photographer,
demonstrates only that he was seen as lowly by other officers. It say's nothing of his expertise and the rest of the interview shows the opposite of what you are claiming.
Why don't you post the full CAL interview? Does it not fully support your contentions? Are you being selective again in order to give a misleading picture, just like with the COLP interview.
Read before you fire off next time and you can perhaps avoid looking so stupid.
