Brother Blades Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 1 hour ago, Shandon Par said: The great philosopher, Mike Tyson, once said “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”. Fight or flight kicks in for most normal people. It’s so much easier said than done when it comes to telling people how to react when they’re in a sudden violent conflict. Of course it’s horrible seeing someone getting kicked in the head. That policeman may be a brute or he may just be a normal guy trying to earn a living who found himself in a really scary situation. I don’t know him. You probably don’t know him. He looked to be having a pretty grim day at work. Maybe he has a history of battering folk and is a menace. Maybe he is horrified by what he did but panicked. Nuance appears to be on its arse. I get what you are saying, but is that not why the police are supposed to be highly trained, to deal with any situation they may encounter? Like wise, a member of the public may be attacked & react in the way policeman did, but if that incident was caught on CCTV, rest assured it would be serious charges, no matter who the original protagonist was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d react the same way as I would to a woman-beating scumbag getting a kicking tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 These racist rioters that descended upon a grieving town are absolute vermin. I'm pretty certain everyone can agree with this. A wee bit of a tangent, but is this the moment that Farage can maybe gain a semblance of credibility by attempting to calm these cretins down? Mind you, Powell rejected numerous opportunities to call for a cease to racism in these isles, yet somehow he remains revered despite, or more likely because of his ludicrous "rivers of blood" speech. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally he will be identified and for ever associated with that 30 seconds of his life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbitterandgrumpy Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 23 minutes ago, carpetmonster said: According to this clip he might have been hit three times. In the chest, then the back of the head and then, while he's nursing his pain, feeling relatively safe, thinking the danger's over and feeling like he's the victim, the third (with Laurel and Hardy comedy genius timing) blow hits him where it really hurts. How many takes would that need if you wanted to recreate that scene for a movie? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 6 hours ago, Melanius Mullarkey said: Go on then. Explain the context which justifies a suspect already restrained on the ground being kicked in the head. I can think of a few, but lawfully it isn't allowed*, esp by the police. Course in the past, folk got taken down the cells and given a kicking, chucked down the stairs on the way to the said kicking too, we're meant to be more civilised nowadays though. And with video footage from cctv, phones, police own cams, you wont get away with behaving like this either. There are countries that will legally do far worse still though, so we aren't all operating at the same level of civilised. *prob would've gotten away with giving him an extra taser charge just for good measure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Southport stabber is now being reported as coming from a Christian family. This certainly doesn't fit the right wing narrative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a kinda self defeating picket line tho ‘What happens if I cross it?’ ’We’ll stab yer’ ‘But won’t you stab me anyway?’ ‘Yeah mate, that’s us stabbers for ya’ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
