It's funny how the videos doing the rounds only show the copper giving the suspect a hoof in the nugget, not the actions of said miscreant that caused the female plod to get a broken schnozzer.
I actually think giving a scumbag a good hoofing should be mandatory. Teach the fuckers a lesson.

I'd say his action, despite severe provocation, was 'ill advised'. Most of us might be tempted to do the same in the heat of the moment but the police are expected - and hopefully trained - to react with a degree of restraint.
I expect it will end with a large payout to the bloke on the floor.

If the female copper did indeed receive a broken nose before the filmed bit she will also receive a payout.
But you're right, the kicker was way out of order and he's in the shit.

Re: In todays news...
Mixed feelings about this. Yes it looked terrible as viewed on the video, and yes the guy was on the floor but he was an armed cop and they can't be rolling round the floor with people in case they lose control of their gun. He had a taser that (I think) had already been used so was useless and a colleage that was out of action. I don't think it's as cut and dried as that video makes it out to be.
But I agree, he will be hung drawn and quartered whatver the circumstances.

Re: In todays news...
The police have a problem.
Society wants police people to be all warm and cuddly, sympathetic and nice. Except when it wants them to get tough with violent criminals, rioters and other assorted troublemakers.
The recruitment and training for those two groups are quite different. Damned if they do, and dawned if they don't.

Shoot them all in the head for my money, but when a fella is face down on the ground, after being tasered, you don't don't take a penalty kick at his face, if needs be (and it wasn't) he could have been tasered again.Cousin Jack wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2024 9:05 am Except when it wants them to get tough with violent criminals, rioters and other assorted troublemakers.
You also don't pepper spray someone for holding a phone in your face, and you don't pistol whip someone with a taser.

Probably yes. But if every I started selling them I call the shop Zem Mattresses.
It's either that or a stationer's selling quaint notebooks to weekend Pagans.

Personally I think they are better off hiring white supremacists for that job.
