They get prosecuted.

If they want to be more to politics than Shampoo were to music they’re going to need to distance themselves from this sort of cobblers come Big Vote time. They could do that I think, but this sorry episode is evidently misguided.

Politically misguided.

Nothing he said was wrong though.

 

[Lupo]

Well then they would feel the consequences but considering he had been witnessed carrying out the act and was carrying a knife dripping with blood they were fairly confident he was the perpetrator

That's great for the victim.

See Menezes for details, no individual was prosecuted.

Despite how deserving the perpetrator might be, you can't go booting him in the head when he's already been subdued.

They didn't. He was still holding the knife and resisting despite tazers. Once the knife was released they didn't boot him in the head.

Completely legitimate and proportional.

The cunt just tried to murder 2 innocent people in the street because they believe in a different fairy story to him, they can kick the living daylights out of the cunt for all I care

That's not policing though. That's mob rule.

 

[Templeton Peck]

They get prosecuted.

They don't though. Vast majority of the time. Which is the whole point really.

 

[basher]

How should you subdue a maniac with a knife, without risking your own life and a colleague's

How would you know?

 

[Templeton Peck]

We expect the absolute highest standards from nurses, paramedics, Dr's, teachers etc yet the police seem to get a pass. Not sure why.

Er, like reading and stuff.

I'm not a professional police officer so what I would do is irrelevant.

 

[basher]

Er, like reading and stuff.

So tell me how many disciplinary hearings you've read and have knowledge of?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Hes not moving at all, he's lay face down.

He recieves 4 kicks to the head, is turned on his side then gets another boot.

Not to mention they had no clue what other weaponry was in his possession. I don't know how you keep your defensive stategy in 'proportion' under those circumstances.

Whatever they'd done prior to the 5 boots to head I just posted had clearly worked so far. He was lay face down and not moving.

Yes? He's still got the knife and is resisting. They secure the knife, no more boots to the head.

He was still armed with a knife, what should they do to disarm him?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I have no sympathy for the bloke at all, obviously. He's a cunt and deserved the shoeing, but i am not comfortable with it being deemed acceptable and proportional by the police themselves.
