The only good thing about banging your head on the wall is when you stop.

I fear that we have to accept that times have changed for the worst.
Just as officers are told to turn a blind eye to many offences committed in front of them in large public order events. (Notting Hill carnival).
Arresting the man in public would probably of caused a riot and made a martyr of this firebrand.
The fact that he was Muslim plays a great part in why and how police these days are politically restrained due to racial considerations.
All wrong and that is what causes resentment when this is witnessed by non-muslims at the time of the disturbance.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Better to feel his collar the next day without an expectant mob hoping for blood around.

Agreed Retro,mores the pity.

In my day (I know it was a long time ago) if that PC had returned to the station the first question he would have been asked would have been "Why didn't you arrest him" but I suppose we have to accept that times have changed.

## trt, he was arrested and charged ##

Should have been on the day as it happened, to show these people they are not in a Muslim Country................YET!

I wouldn't be surprised if this officer ,who used discretion and common sense, will be attending a meeting (without coffee) in his Chief Superintendent's office for a mammoth rollocking.
Soon after Lee Rigby's murder all police officers were told to patrol in pairs as there was intelligence that a copy cat attack was highly likely on patrolling single officers.
This incident could have all the hallmarks of a 'come on' for a preparatory attack. Wind up the officer,goad him and kill him. In hindsight I dread to think what may have been in the pockets of this piece of filth's chums! :-(

Retro, if the patrol in pairs order was still in effect I would imagine it would be his sergeant in the firing line for allowing him to patrol solo.

I could not agree with you more but for the moment common sense prevailed under the circumstances. For the sake of my grand-children I hope those circumstances will revert to the way they used to be and we are not going to let alien cultures rule the streets of the UK. Hence my vote for Brexit. Examples such as this.

Ha Ha
I expect his sergeant was busy studying 'The Police and Multicultuarism Experiment' Volume 800 for his next exam for Branshatch. In our day it was a discipline offence to leave your beat,patrol in pairs and idle and gossip. :-)

Those were the days Retro, but wasn't it funny how if two of you walked into the station with a good arrest no mention was ever made of how you both came to be on the same beat.Happy days.

[retrocop]

:-) Certainly were. Glad I'm out now. Mustn't idle and gossip any longer. Back to crosswords. :-)

Interesting to see little comment from the resident supporters of such people on here.

The lone copper probably did the best thing. It must be pretty frightening, given recent events, to be confronted by scum like this whist also surrunded by more baying scum.

Thanks to Blair we have lost our country.

Will any country allow us refugee status once Sharia law is in place here I wonder?

[Mamyalynne]

Which resident supporters (of who?) have you lost?

Do an FAO for them.

[jambutty]

I swear if this creep had screamed at me in the street, I would have screamed back even louder !! And yes, ymb I agree with you.

[-Talbot-]

Is it only me that was concerned about the obvious adulation the gathering crowd gave the fruitcake?

[david small]

We have not YET lost our country. There are still some willing and able to defend our heritage.

I bet if he was white and screaming at a Muslim he would have charged with a hate crime.
