Police Brutality
What do you reckon will happen to this guy? https://youtu.be/ZIOCiT9v9Dk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Thankfully in the UK we have (at least I think we do) pretty decent levels of accountability for coppers who are ***** like this. So hopefully he gets a little more than just being put on desk duty for a while like they do over the pond if they kill someone because they were black and it scared them.

True. Liberal and Fascist do have contrasting meanings.

Have you ever sat on a jury IT ?
If so, did you wait for the full facts or make your mind up before the trial started ? Just asking like.

Re: Police Brutality
I'm afraid this is yet another example of trial and judgement by social media. Why was the Policeman arresting the guy, what had happened prior to the arrest and the brief clip we saw. Had he resisted arrest or refused to do as the Policeman said. so many unanswered questions......
Anyone and I mean anyone who makes a judgement based on that brief clip is a fool. Sorry to be blunt IT but sometimes you need to take a moment out for reflection.

Re: Police Brutality
Not under any circumstance, ever trust the police. I've met coppers laughing how they have stitched people up and then when you say 'that sounds a bit ropey'... they get aggressive and replay - "you don't know what we have to deal with everyday".
So that makes it alright then.

You think I haven't tried to imagine a scenario where a police officer is repeatedly beating a handcuffed, non-violent civilian? He wasn't even being arrested for a violent crime. He has some weed on him.

Re: Police Brutality
Now this isn't police brutality but i just want to know from the opinion police if it's OK for me to think that whomever did this should be locked up?
I actually know even less about this incident than i do about this copper beating up this kid in handcuffs. And yet i have already formed an opinion.
Is that OK? Now i'm not saying that it is my final opinion. I'm not saying that if it turns out this woman was pulling his hair and kicking his shins then i won't change my mind, clearly I will. But based on the information i have, and a bit of imagination (ie. i imagine she wasn't deserving of this violence), i've reached the opinion that this guy is a **** and should be locked up for a bit.
Is that OK?

That was a little bit my fault. I was just curious who would be the first to judge the arrest by the headline of the news article.MRG wrote:He was arrested for a violent crime, he was arrested for assaulting a police officer!
Someone else was arrested elsewhere for assaulting a police officer. Not this kid. The other kid was with this kid and had fled before being picked up later.

And it better be a good source, because "pacifist liberal" and "killed 40k people in six months because they rejected [anything]" makes me think that perhaps either you or your source don't know what either a pacifist or a liberal is.

Re: Police Brutality
I find it comical and pretty awful that the police demand that they get instant respect from the public just for wearing a uniform. They need to understand that respect is earned, and after incidents such as police brutality and bribery etc. not to mention Hillsborough and plenty more cover ups, many we probably are blissfully unaware of still, they have a long way to go to earn that respect.
I never fully trust any police officer, the majority are probably decent but after their recent history I just find it impossible to trust them personally, and it only takes one ****.

Lots of people complaining on this chaps behalf, while the Met confirmed earlier they hadn't received an official complaint from him. (This may have changed since I read the article)
Maybe, just maybe, YouTube and other media outlets don't have access to the full facts, and/or video evidence relating to this arrest, and have published such so to sensationalise the story and sell papers.
It's not like this hasn't happened before, where on compiling the full facts, all officers have been completely exonerated from similar incidents
And for my two penne'th, the lad looks to be pulling away despite being in handcuffs. And class B is not necessarily just "weed"

Re: Police Brutality
Assuming this incident is as straightforward as it appears to be on the 7 second clip, is the law against the police beating up citizens one of the ones that should be adhered to, or is that another of the ones you think should be broken?

Re: Police Brutality
Around 12 years ago, I was policing a demonstration, with activists looking to wilfully obstruct the highway. An elderly lady in a wheelchair was positioned quite close to me, and without warning, tipped herself out onto the road. It was only later that I was told who she was, and that this was a regular tactic of hers.GodIsADeeJay81 wrote:He needs charging with assault and punishing appropriately, pension stripped away etc.
It won't happen though.
Of course, my immediate reaction was to run over and grab her and pull her away from danger. She knew I would do this, and when I started to pull her to safety, she repeatedly shouted ‘Police Brutality’ at the top of her voice, making a scene.
A photographer from a local newspaper was nearby, and snapped some pictures that were on the front page a few days later. And there I was, in all my glory, dragging an elderly woman in the road. Looking at the picture in that singular moment, yeah, it looked bad, but of course, it didn’t tell the full story.
It’s very easy to judge without knowing the full circumstances. Any use of force by an officer has to be fully justified. If it can’t be, then you’re in trouble.
I fully appreciate that people have had bad experiences with the Police. I personally think the way Lancs Police treat Burnley fans, and how football fans in general are treated is an absolute disgrace. Yes, there are bad apples within the Police, it’s like any job, but I can safely say that 99% of the Officers I have worked with have been nothing but selfless, hardworking, and won’t think twice about putting themselves in harms way for a complete stranger.

Also somewhat more recently I got a post shared to me on Facebook showing the picture of a man in a pub garden who it was alleged had assaulted someones child. Usual thing, does anyone know who he is etc. And, clearly without any supporting corroboration this man was assumed guilty by a whole host of people with the usual inane comments being made. Turns out that all he had done was pull this child off his own child because he had his hands round his own childs throat.

I've been saying it for years, but it's not quite as bad these days.
During a certain period, It wasn't just Lancs police that treated Burnley fans so badly.

I think TsarBomba's smart enough to know or imagine what i think. But maybe not you so i suppose i'll have to number the dots.
In my opening post i mentioned that we have much better accountability for police than certain other countries. The IOPC would have investigated the circumstances of the photo and, assuming TsarBomba isn't embellishing anything, would likely have quickly reached the conclusion implied in his post.
If there was just a photograph of this copper hitting this kid the same way there was just a photo of TsarBomba do you imagine in your dumbest dreams that i would assume that the photo tells the whole story? I'm tempted to think you will reply "yes" just to be a ****, so let me be clear. Of. *******. Course. Not.
I didn't even judge this video on it's own, although i could have quite reasonably because i still can't imagine a reason why a police officer would be justified in beating this kid with his baton.
Here is video evidence of police brutality against a defenceless kid. The video show's the kid isn't being violent, and his arrest shows he wasn't arrested for anything violent. So what possible justification can there be for this police officer violently attacking him while handcuffed?

Policing was dodgy at times but since the 90s the “stitch ups” have, in the main, disappeared. I’m not saying you’ll never get one but they are very few and far between imo.

Re: Police Brutality
Police brutality was sadly lacking at the climate change demo , I’ve never witnessed such mealy mouthed softly softly policing in my life . To think what most countries would have done if their capitals and main buildings were under threat from this rabble .

Re: Police Brutality
Someone admits to joining a terrorist organisation and turtle demands she faces a trial to see if she’s guilty
Turtle sees a small snip of an arrest and decides the copper is 100% guilty while not knowing the full story or any facts
Not a hypocrite though
