how did this A***hole get off?

Are you a copper? And in what way does attacking women presenting no danger mean you are doing your job? Do you attack women?

Can you show me some evidence to suggest that the woman was presenting no danger? How did the officer know that? how did know what she had in her hand?

and no I dont hit or attack women, so you can stop repeating the question. If a woman attacked you in a serious manner, and you felt under threat. Would you not defend yourself as to escape the situation or would you just let the attack continue?
 
I'm asking you whether you are a copper or not.

Can you show proof that she WAS presenting a danger? Why didn't all the other officers behave in the same way to the same provocation and start battering women? - and why was he suspended? Would YOU have done as he did? Watch the video then come back and tell us.

Joey would repeatedly either push her away or ask her to stop, of course.

Watch the video then come back and tell us all that you would have attacked a defenceless woman if you'd been that copper.

Witness statements clearly show she was acting like a lunatinc, aggressive and out of control.

He was suspended as procedure, quite normal.

attacked a defenceless woman

How did he know she was defenceless? The officers where surrounded by protesters in a heated situation. Joe stop making out she was a quiet innocent woman just going about her business because she wasnt
 
Most companies suspend someone if they are suspected of gross misconduct, as this chap was. It doesnt mean they have done something wrong, they just need them out of the way so they cant possibly do anything else wrong in the meantime.

By the way, enjoying the joe-bashing thoroughly :LOL:
 
The courts ruled he was justified so i guess i will live with that.

Heavy handed- -probably, but then again i have never been in his situation.

As for a blanket ban on using reasonable force against women as you profess Joey, you are a misguided fool.

A woman is just as capable as a man to cause harm to others.
 
Snico. are you a copper? Yes or no?

If you watch the video he takes his baton out and approaches HER and then starts to hit her with it. Is that self defence in your book? And why is he the only officer that 'behaved properly' and started hitting women under provocation? What about the other thousand coppers? Why didn't they do likewise? Would you have done it Mr Copper? Well would you?

There was NO JURY. Watch the vid and tell me what YOU would have done. Come on - here's your chance.
 
joe you're out of order here.. the other coppers were dealing with other protestors, she was specifically targeting him for abuse and was pushed back several times before he struck her.
she had something in her hand and he had no ide what it was.. like I said earlier for all he knew it was a cup of battery acid, a knife or a vial of anthrax.
he feared for his own safety and struck her to make her back off..

in the same situation and with a hundred protestors shouting and screaming abuse from all directions at me then I may very well have done the same thing..
gender has no issue here.. if it was a guy he would have done the same thing, perhaps even more and earlier..

and before you ask, for the record I don't go round beating up women, or guys for that matter but I will defend myself from any percieved threat irrespective of gender.

Watch the video. He went towards her to strike her. Any of the protesters could have been carry a weapon - she was just being lippy and he gave her a public beating. Is that what YOU would have done? Is that what you want British Police to do? Go around beating women for being lippy?
