Off Duty Police Headbutter

[spathiphyllum]

Ahh it all makes sense now! The sadism of the met. Vile. I can not believe the off duty cop isn't facing retribution. Reasonable force? Pffft. What kind of example does this set! Absolutely vile.

" Not bothered about the 'example he sets', it doesn't affect me in any way at all. "

You are really showing your true colours aren't you.

[spathiphyllum]

Sadism isn't a pretty colour.

Look at the video again please. Observe the police officer actually getting into position to * head but* the man. So not even an impulsive response, but premeditated.

"I don't know him" "It doesn't affect me" "don't you get on your high horse for someone you don't even know"

Talk about a high horse. All you care about is yerself!

Is that what the much vaunted Hendon training teaches then?

You get a freebie at the end just to make sure.

Yes the police have a horrible job but outright assault of a restrained offender is surely not part of their duties.
That part of the altercation is beyond the pale.

It is... that is not helping, but retaliation.

[anneasquith]

Met police have lost some credibility following this ‘ assault ‘.

Should he ever plan a change of career it seems he's quite in demand - great reputation to have.

Sad.

I do not have a problem spath, stand by what I said 100% and am happy with my post. Think what you, or anyone, else likes, I really do not give a toss. I'd like to shake this cop's hand to tell the truth. Go ahead, have another dig, but please be assured, I do not care.

[spathiphyllum]

I need not. Your answer speaks for itself. You're 100% happy with your answer. Fantastic.

Even as a victim... the last thing I would want, would be an angry, out of control, violent copper turning up with an inflated sense of self-importance.
Insane, I know... but I would actually expect the police force to behave better than the criminals.

'And sympathy is red'.
^Clint said that.

[spathiphyllum]

Considering the man had a scrap with another man over a train seat and didn't get arrested for this, then proceeded to get manhandled by all sorts of men, eventually to get headbutted, then arrested I'd go as far to say not only did the cop act as bad as the criminal, but in fact worse.

The man didn't get arrested for the scrap he had, but rather for giving off the impression he had a knife. Madness.

Well done the policeman sorting this nutter out.

[pixie374]

He didn't, sparkly... (see video) x

[SparklyKid]

Low life gets assaulted, big deal.

[pixie374]

Two lowlives... not a big deal, providing you don't want to trust the police of have any confidence in the Met.

[spathiphyllum]

It takes strength to say that because you're implying you're not a low life.. Leaving you vulnerable to people saying otherwise.

[SparklyKid]

Threatening people with a knife in a public place, deserved what he got.

[spathiphyllum]

He actually threatened people with words, considering he didn't have a knife on him.
