Brave Policeman Kneels On Zero's Neck

[Peter Pedant]

no thread on this yet.
so I thought I would remind you
what do ABers think? - my own surprise is the speed at which the police conduct dept acted, why it was put on internet media without complaint
and why the body cameras were not showing they were on - so the only film is viral on the internet

oh and the editor has asked me to point out that the sunny Sun report that one explained " I was only taking the knee" is completely untrue - he said something else

Yes there was and always will be violent criminals, but not has widespread and open has it is today, and if your going to criticise every officer that has no choice but to use has much force has needed at the time, then you may end up with no police at all, or even less than we have now. What you will see, and may be this is one, police being set up. Enoch Powell was right.

The Officer used a technique that is not in Police training and has rightly been suspended, let's see what the investigation comes up with.

I have to question the intelligence of the copper if he thought a knee to the neck was a good idea in the current climate, but I also wonder how much of the victims cries were genuine distress and how much was him knowing exactly what to say to get some attention (and his 15 minutes of fame)

[Mamyalynne]

Depends which side your bread is buttered Mozz, could it have been fear that he may also end up in a body bag?

We make assumptions at our peril.

[Cryptical]

What would you do Danny if somebody pulled a knife on you.

[teacake44]

Mozz if you look at the photo, and I'm sure you have, whenever you stoop down balancing on one ball of your foot, And I'm sure we've all done that at some time, plus he's right against the wall, its easy to lose your balance, especially when someone is struggling under you. And its funny how just perfect the photo shot is. Is it a set up??

[Mozz71]

Of course Mamya, the only ones who know tfor sure are those who were there, I'm just putting possibilities out there.

[Mozz71]

Well, I watched the footage rather than look at a picture TC, but it's still unclear. What does seem clear, to me at least, is that it's a whole world away from the George Floyd incident.

Cryptical //What would you do Danny if somebody pulled a knife on you//
I would use the methods I had been taught and arrest him/her.By the way it would not be the first time.

[ToraToraTora]

well if it's not in the manual then it should be, it's a very effective method of vermin control.

[dannyk13]

TTT one thing that used to be quite common was instruction on how to use your baton.I am wondering if that is now defunct?

[Mozz71]

And if they dies, like in the States, plenty more to replace them I suppose Tora?

[ToraToraTora]

these days danny I'm surprised that they are even allowed to arrest them at all.

[ToraToraTora]

yes mozz, I have no sympathy at all for criminal low life scum resisting arrest.

[anneasquith]

Sadly Danny you will get no respect from some Abers, they know everything about policing.

[ToraToraTora]

LibFac policies have got us to this criminal infested state, time to toughen up and stop all the hand wringing nonsense. What we need is effective vermin control. The LibFac plods managing the "service" have reduced us to criminal benevolent society.

[ToraToraTora]

anne: "Sadly Danny you will get no respect from some Abers, they know everything about policing. " - well if your comments above are anything to go by you are not giving him any respect either.
