I don't think they would worry about lights, bet that hurt though.

[DrFilth]

that em is the way they have treated football fans in the past

[starone]

What do they expect - stupid fools. Hope it deters others of the same sort.

if you've complained they've been too soft, don't complain they're now too hard.

>> GMP said in a statement: "Police officers responding to incidents last night in Salford and Manchesterwere faced with extraordinary and unprecedented levels of violence being used against them. The professional standards branch is part of GMP's response in dealing with the aftermath of this critical situation. As the circumstances surrounding the footage of this particular incident are currently unknown, it is inappropriate for GMP to comment further." <<


i would not last long in the media spokesperson for the police

they had no lights on and were on the wrong side of the road and my brave men tried to knock some sense into them

[starone]

They are looking for trouble and if they get it can they grumble?

[DrFilth]

i can't see a complaint sara that is how they usually are up here chuck

[DrFilth]

very intresting street , this is jutland street at the back of piccadilly station it is one of the steepest streets in mancheter.
at the bottom of the street as you cross the raod there use to be a goods yard and it's big gates had to be kept open during working hours.

here is your question for today why ?

i will tell you the answer later

I worked in Manchester near Piccadilly for a few weeks and have driven been down Jutland St, DrFilth.
It certinly was steep- and cobbled if I remember correctly- and the first time was pretty scary! I assume some cars/lorries couldn't stop once they got to the bottom so to prevent them crashing into the gates the gates had to be left open?

[DrFilth]

correct factor stems back to the old horse and cart days. some of the carts when fully loaded with cotton goods bound for the station.
with it being so steep sometimes the cart could not stop so to try and save the horses life the made a rule that the gates must be left open
the horse and cart could then stop on the flat surface of the goods yard turn round and rejoin the road

Wonder what it was the copper threw over the wall (At 1:03)?

[B00]

I wondered that too Groms, i was hoping it was one of the rioters- obviously not, sadly.

[DrFilth]

bet the person doing the filming was out to check when they all shifted :)

we complain when the police do nothing and complain when they do something, but the police are also a law unto themselves, once the guy was knocked off his bike was it really necessary to beat him more times whilst he lay on the ground?, those batons are made of metal, and a good whack from that can break a bone, as for the copper kicking a man on the floor by the wall, well what can i say...the rioters, looters, arsonists and all other criminals all deserve to be locked up, but noone deserves to be beaten to the floor with a piece of metal, and continously beaten or kicked more, i live in London so have been in the middle of all this, but the police themselves are using excessive force when its not needed, the coppers have so much adrenaline running through their veins that they let most of them escape (watch the couple who sneak off) and then ganged up on the few unluckly enough to get caught, how many coppers does it take to beat and kick a man on the floor until he begs for mercy and then beat him some more, just because they can.

[Ric.ror]

They should have nicked the bikes as well :0))

[DrFilth]

Keleez they probably forgot it was just a riot and thought they were on football duty

Ric.ror think i would have walked over the spokes a few times

[Keleez]

Lmao@DrFilth

Ric.ror...i think it was the bike the copper threw over the wall to come back later for lol
