// Lessons must be learned from Tasering case, says Wiltshire's Police and Crime Commissioner

Angus Macpherson, the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Wiltshire and Swindon, says must be lessons be learned from the Tasering case.

He said: “I do not intend to comment on the outcome of this trial. Furthermore, the issue of when it is right to deploy a Taser is an operational matter for the Chief Constable. //

Total waste of the £100,000 he is paid. And the £250,000 his office costs.

And a normal man //would batter scrote-boy to within an inch of his life, or worse//well, there's nice boyo!

the jury saw more of the film and said not guilty. but that's not good enough for the anti-police brigade is it. I mean, come on, he's a policeman, he must be guilty. he's guilty of being a policeman for a start.



Not a policeman with much confidence if he felt the need to taser the brute ...lol did I say brute?

[DrFilth]

royfromaus you do not have to be big to be a brute

No it is in retaliation to those who not only would like to see an end to our police service, but also to our system of 'trial by jury'

For Funks Sake ...................All the yung uns use 'end of' Baldrid.

I do not know what went on, what was said and by whom, but, I do know:

that if I was in a room, probably no more than 5metres square, with a naked man who had been thrown out of a Club after confrontations with bouncers. I would require AT LEAST a tazer or if one was not available, a baseball bat and as a last resort, a gun.

[Baldric]

Aog, see my Post @ 10:39 if you are including me in the description, I appreciate what the Police do, I do not however view them through rose-tinted glasses.

Firstly, are you suggesting that in this case the jury was also viewing the police through rose tinted glasses?

And secondly, regarding your 10.39 post,

/// That Kid could easily have been controlled without the use of an
Electric-Gun! ///

Know that for certain do you, was you there?

[Baldric]

//Know that for certain do you, was (were) you there?//

As a 62 year old who has spent almost a third of my life as a Royal Marine, I can assure you that any [i]confident / competent[i] person trained in one to one situations could have dealt with that Lad!

[Svejk]

mr dove plainly wasn't living up to his name that day. having already assaulted 'bouncers' and 2 police officers he forfeited his 'right' to any further kid-glove treatment.
some of you ab hard-knocks could, probably, restrain him with one hand tied behind your back but it seems that this policeman wasn't imbued with the same level of confidence.

[Baldric]

Then I would like to think Svejk that you agree he's in need of further training before being left in charge of a Prisoner!

[anotheoldgit]

Oh dear Baldric I wouldn't bander about you experience gained in the Royal Marines a alongside the ability of dealing with prisoners, look what happened in Afghanistan?

Looking to throw the thread off track yet again Aog?

[Baldric]

As I might have to go out shortly, I'll give you my opinion of your (12:20) distraction link. You may have noticed when it was dissected here a few weeks ago I, and I notice a couple of others I know to be Ex RM's stayed off the thread.
I can only speak for myself, I do not know what this Man had been through, what he had seen, what had happened to him and those around him. I can only hazard a guess based on my Combat experience (Falklands).
But I wasn't there I don't know, so I am in no position to either condemn or defend him.
But you are put under a lot of stress in that situation, to which different people will react in different ways.
Does that compare in any way to your Combat experience Aog?

Baldric

/// But I wasn't there I don't know, so I am in no position to either condemn or defend him. ///

You wasn't there also, so why are you condemning this policeman's actions?

[Baldric]

Because like you, I've seen the Video!

I also mentioned that was referencing your distraction post, but as we know from experience, you are grabbing at straws again!

[anotheoldgit]

Baldric

/// Because like you, I've seen the Video! ///

As have the jury, that is why they found him not guilty.

[mallyh]

he did flick his soiled underwear into the policemans face which could have contained faeces or blood etc .perhaps tazering was a little over the top but understandable in the circumstances.

[emmie]

not understandable in any circumstances.
