U.K. police officers aren't above the law. Can't find a recent survey, I think they do them every five years. From 2015:- Officers convicted of offences PC Keith Wallis was jailed for 12 months for lying about witnessing an altercation in Downing Street involving the former Tory chief whip, Andrew Mitchell. Osman Iqbal was given 7 years of jail time for prostitution, supplying a class-A drug, and money laundering in 2014. Chris Higgs admitted to 16 crimes, including blackmail, fraud, perverting the court of justice, and witness interference, in March 2015. Constable Trevor Jones jailed for 14 months after bombarding vulnerable women with sleazy text and voice messages in June 2015.

So, if I understand correctly... The authorities don't have a chance of making murder stick, and he'll be acquitted. So you think that they charged him so he can be acquitted. Either I don't understand your logic, or you think the authorities are trying to look stupid.

Since I keep getting 'dragged' back into this discussion on semantics... Mass ( both inertial and gravitational Studiot ) has a very specific definition in Physics. The definition of 'things' or 'objects', not so much. Unless you have a very clear definition of 'things' or 'objects', no one can reasonably comment on your OP, Short Timer. And as others have pointed out, saying "Can mass be called mass without the object with mass ?" is highly redundant.
