Yeah I’ve seen it.

What if he’d pushed a pram into the path of a bus? For all we know that’s what he did and the coppers actions were perfectly proportionate.

As I say, I’ll have to wait for further clarification before I comment but pushing prams in roads just isn’t acceptable

WTF ? It doesn't look like you have . That is one weird post.
 


A copper behaving like a football hooligan at a football match eh?

Hardly f***ing surprising is it, as they all think that you can do whatever you like to football fans, with no reprisals.

A copper should never hit anyone over the head unless it’s a last resort, life or death situation.

Clearly the red mist has descended and he’s lost control, he needs dragging over the coals for this.

Hopefully loses everything and ends up in jail.

Are you for real? If he's totally innocent then it's a disgrace, if he's been kicking the shit out of someone else then he's not innocent and he's old enough to know the consequences. Most people on here have kids but you have no idea what the full story is

What actions would a blindside baton strike to the head be appropriate consequences for?

Doesn't matter mate. Only thing that matters is he gets bites. And other arseholes are praising him for it.

If he's been attacking people for no reason, like a football yob I would have no sympathy for him, if he's innocent then it's a disgrace

Police being arseholes, hardly a surprise.


You wan't some sauce for those boots mate? Probably not, looks like you're loving them as is.

What are you talking about? Do you k ow the facts of the whole story? No I thought not. Couldn't careless about the police either way, but there's always 2 sides to a story

It makes no difference if he’s been fighting or not the copper can’t be doing that. It’s against the law

If it's against the law then they will be done for it

If he's broke the law by striking the head then he will be done for it, buts let not make out the lad is a innocent kid

Watch the video mate. The officer approached him from behind at a run and whacked him across the napper. The officer in question wasn’t being attacked. If he or a colleague was and the only way to protect himself and or them was to bash someone over the canister then we wouldn’t be having this conversation, or at least I wouldn’t.

And that video shows everything thats gone on, I very much doubt it. The copper will be in trouble for striking him on the head but let's not make out its a innocent kid. He must of been doing something before hand, there were bits I read that he was going rou d attacking people

Sympathy on a personal level is one thing.

But to imply that if he's been involved in a fight that the officer is justified to take a running, blindsided strike to the head of a 16 year old is another thing all together. Defending this level of potentially deadly force because somebody is 'not innocent' is crazy. The lad is lucky and hopefully the surface wounds are the extent of the damage and there's no further internal damage.
 
As a copper I’m struggling to defend this. He does look like he’s absolutely ran over to the lad and give him a pelter

however as a football fan, what I tend to do when going to a football game is watch the football and go home... shock

goading police in whilst wearing Burberry jackets and wanting to fight rival fans because they were a darker shade of the colour you’re wearing is pathetic

although the I’m struggling to defend the police here. Don’t put yourself in situations where you may get hurt.
 
I dont care what the kid has done, its the police’s job to prevent harm to the public, including people they’re arresting.

To me it looked like a bit of drunken handbags in the street, cant see that needs opening up a lads head.
 
Of course, this kind of incident wouldn’t happen if a huge number of idiots didn’t look for trouble.

....and that’s not condoning the police actions

You have absolutely no knowledge that he did anything. Even if he had, that level of violence, with a weapon, is a disgrace.

That policeman is a violent lunatic and he should be prosecuted for his actions.

Struggling to defend him? FFS man. You should be arresting him and referring him to the CPS.

This is not Mega City. You lot are not Judge and Jury.

I didn’t say at any point it did. Read my other posts. There’s no doubt in my mind that kid had been involved in something he shouldn’t have been. My whole point is that the action taken by the police officer wasn’t appropriate unless the kid was armed or he was trying to kill someone.

Interacting with police being one of those for some people

It's their job to protect capital and property, not people.

I remember waiting for the metro for Mags away years ago and the coppers were thick as fuck and almost incited their own riot. I certainly didn't go looking for any problems when the coppers decided to incite a few hundred people to kick off and start pushing forward with nowhere for those of us at the front to move. The coppers, obviously being from the same cowardly mentality as the officer in the video, thought it was much easier to just start kicking off with the fans at the front, as if there was a single thing we could've done.

Thankfully it didn't amount to much, but there are definitely instances where people get caught in bother at football without being wronguns going looking for it. It's the sort of mentality that makes it so easily justifiable to the coppers who kick off with football fans, the whole "you'll only find bother if you go looking" thing.
 
Imagine your son going out to the football and then you get sent photos of his head and the video of that assault.

Some of the SMB would look at it for a few seconds, shrug their shoulders and say he probably deserved it. :lol:
 
"Chief Superintendent and Match Commander Sarah Poolman, said: “A full, open investigation, including extended video footage, will take place to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the actions which led to a 16-year-old boy sustaining a head injury from an officer's baton, and an officer being assaulted, sustaining injuries to his stomach and head"

SYP Police response above. All they had to do was show genuine concern for the lad, and reiterate their policy for protecting and serving the community, whilst promising a full investigation, but instead they're straight on the defensive, bringing up some other assault on a copper as if that somehow provides 'balance'.

Everything wrong with the 'public' services in this country is right here. It's not an 'us and them' situation yet this statement creates that perception. We're supposed to be on the same side... the side of law and order. I don't care what else was going on around this clip, that copper has seriously assaulted someone and needs prosecuting.
