To a certain extent I sympathise. It must be horrendous having to deal with abusive and unco-operative people day in day out and the temptation to just whack 'em one must be overwhelming at times. And in the days before CCTV I'm quite sure the police wouldn't hold back.

Nevertheless, you can't do that today. They should have double teamed her, applied effective safe restraint.

and next time ensure that any "accidents" happen well outside of CCTV coverage.

Re: Europe (none / 1)

As is usual, I hit post before I get to the opposing point, which is that this is how Tomlinson, de Menezes and other barbarities happen. Reflexive belief that wearing a uniform gives them complete authority to inflict what they like on whoever they like.

We are not a para-military society and we don't allow militia. And the police should not presume to take their place.
