Police Open Door Policy - Reasonable Or Not?

[Garaman]

Apparently this incident has divided opinion on social media with some criticising the police. It didn't look too bad to me. (You can start the video at about 1 minute without missing the incident.)

Text book job, well done guys!

If you attempt to escape the police then you must be prepared to suffer the consequences.

[albaqwerty]

nope, it's not happening for me at the moment :-(

However, just going by the words in the link, well done the police :-D

[Mamyalynne]

I know I shouldn't but I often giggle at those big burly guys who when caught and cuffed complain the cuffs are a bit tight and hurting.

[Mamyalynne]

Does the video in my link not play either Alba?

[Zacs-Master]

Awesome!

[albaqwerty]

nope, 'fraid it doesn't Mamya.
I'll go and reload, see if that helps, especially as everyone has become incognito
(i.e. no avatars either lol)

[Mamyalynne]

Good idea.

[Baldric]

All I got was an advert for Wimbledon plastered over the middle of it
with no means of removing it............

[RATTER15]

Knock the little *** off by any means!!

Mamy, handcuffs really do hurt like a *** I promise you!!

[Mamyalynne]

I must admit the Standard links are always lousy on my PC which is why I sought out the video.

[albaqwerty]

oooh, that's better, you're all back to your handsome selves.

Have just scene Mamya's video, oooh, very, very well done to the Boys in Blue !!

[Mamyalynne]

I know they do Ratter, but the giggle comes from the fact that often 30 seconds ago they were spewing bile and trying to beat three shades out of two Policeman - suddenly they want their Mum.

I got the link OK.

Well done the police. They showed great restraint. I would have woooed the door open fast and wide.

What are the people who think they shouldn't have done it been saying?

[dannyk13]

In the link Cassa.

[-Talbot-]

Good work.

[Garaman]

In essence they are saying the poor fella could have banged his head, Cassa!

[woofgang]
