Another soldier stabbed.

[Odds]

Your imaginary copper would carry an imaginary baton, maybe an imaginary taser

why didn't they use them in the airport incident?

 

[Odds]

what you think it would be better the victim gets killed ....Get a grip man

my grip is good. I'm not the one calling for wholesale slaughter of suspects. MadmanGas.

someone stabbing someone at that moment in time is not a suspect

 

[gas112]

would that be the tazor that was used and they carried on attacking or some other sort

 

[Odds]

a perpetrator, to use an American term, then. A yank would've shot him - do you endorse armed police on the streets of Britain?

 

[transam]

And you are telling others to get a grip

Jeez us wept tis you who needs to get a grip ?

Than again that might well be your issue getting a grip to much

are you missing the fact that these coppers were armed . do try and keep up

 

[Odds]

you're mixing threads and a hypothetical situation - do you endorse British Bobbies bearing arms on the streets?

 

[carmanmemoranda]

so what would you say if a copper came across this soldier being stabbed and took his truncheon out and skelped the attacker right over the back of the head several times (worse than any kick) would you be crying out for him to be charged for unreasonable force saying he should have hit his arm with the knife in it

Restraining him and taking control?

Or an abusive kick afterwards?

Please clarify which bit you mean

Do coppers carry truncheons? you are acting out a fantasy

When they did they didn't use it on people's heads. If needed shoulder was a better option as it will break someone's collar bone. Rather disabling as anyone who has experienced that would know. Not on the head was drummed into them. Anywhere on the body will hurt.

Batons - rather famous case. The court ruled that the bloke had an usually thin skull. That option isn't on any more.

The kick. Already analysed to death, 3 police sent to hospital. One cop lost his temper. A no no. The family view - we want justice, we don't want various political views tied in with it. They will get what they want.
A reform MP view - give the cop a medal. LOL may fit in with some views on here.

The stabbed soldier. The attacker ran up behind him. Remember that next time you notice some one nearing behind you. Might have been wearing brothel creepers.

I would point out that we don't even know if the two men being beaten up were in fact involved in said "fight", as the police arrived after the supposed fracas hand ended. If you bother to get any clarity you will find out that the woman kneeling over the victim was racially and physically assaulted by another passenger....

Actually there isn't enough video around to have a clue as to what went on in the run up or why someone got a dose of pepper spray.

 

[Mottie]

Although the thug officer is now being investigated.

Will the attackers be investigated or does it not matter what they did or threatened to do?

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Will the attackers be investigated or does it not matter what they did or threatened to do?

They've been arrested, so I would expect so.

The police body cams should be available, unless they were switched off......again.
