Hi Melanie
I understand your husbands point, I am being charged for assaulting a police officer after he gabbed my arm from behind. I turned and put him in arm lock as a matter of self defence. this was just an automatic reaction, without realising he was a police office. I let go immediately and gave myself up as I knew he would arrest me. And apparently I knocked out his contact lense..... this was the assault. Now it seems as though there was no cctv evidence from a camera 10 yards away, the paper work from the police station seems to have gone walkies, the arresting officer described me as wearing sage green I was wearing brown, and he felt I was part of a rowdy group........ there was only my friend and I celebrating my birthday....................
In my experience some police seem to be lying thugs, who abuse there position, resulting in the FACT that very few people seem to have respect for the police any more.......... that's a real shame for those who do there job properly.
The reason that they would have used to drag him out of the car, is as the blogger said earlier is because he stretched for his documents.,rightly or wrongly.
They can and will use the law to abuse, and is all they need to suggest is that your partner stretched over the passenger side, and they thought that he was grabbing a gun or something. that would give them cause to treat your partner how they wish.
Unfortunately, your other half wont have a chance, furthermore I doubt I will either.
The video prior, prove that the police have as many institionalized thugs, and they had racist 10 years ago, before the Lawrence enquiry.
If you all believe they are saint, your truly mad........... randyraven is your proof
