Brave Policeman Kneels On Zero's Neck

[Peter Pedant]

no thread on this yet.
so I thought I would remind you
what do ABers think? - my own surprise is the speed at which the police conduct dept acted, why it was put on internet media without complaint
and why the body cameras were not showing they were on - so the only film is viral on the internet

oh and the editor has asked me to point out that the sunny Sun report that one explained " I was only taking the knee" is completely untrue - he said something else

13.33, I don't know everything about policing, what I do know and see, is that the police are having to be more cautious than the criminals, and that's got to be one big joke. Why anyone who has done the job in the past, many many years ago, assumes that they did the job much better is a puzzle, but then again its the norm in any profession to say we got it right, and they are getting it wrong.

[teacake44]

13.40Yep, wait for it :0) OMG

TC// I don't know everything about policing,//
Don't you mean you don't know anything about policing?

[Mozz71]

//yes mozz, I have no sympathy at all for criminal low life scum resisting arrest.//

No need for courts anymore in your brave new world then Tora? Let the coppers be judge, jury and executioner, like Judge Dredd? If any innocents are killed, acceptable collateral damage. Any crooked coppers, never mind, always some bad apples.

You ever thought of writing Dystopian Science Fiction? You have all the elements in place.

[teacake44]

That's a pretty common response/ answer. Not impressed really. @13.46

[dannyk13]

TC, Does the truth hurt?

[gulliver1]

13.50. Think it was many many years ago that Danny hung his whistle up.

[teacake44]

Another common response :0) get over it, you've long since gone from the force, its changed whether you like it or not. The day of the fish net fest to keep you warm is gone, they've have to wear a stab vests now.

Gulliver // Think it was many many years ago that Danny hung his whistle up.//
Probably before you were born judging by the calibre of your posts.

[iluvmargie]

He was carrying a knife?? No sympathy then.

[dannyk13]

Margie,//He was carrying a knife?? No sympathy then.//
Not when his neck was kneeled, on plus the fact that he was in handcuffs.

[iluvmargie]

Sorry danny, I'm not changing my mind.

[dannyk13]

That's your prerogative Margie,which I respect.

[Peter Pedant]

// Have you lot heard yourselves? It's a standard restraint technique probably invented a century ago! //

a noose and a 6 ' drop was invented some time ago - that doesnt mean that it is any good as a restraint tecnic even tho they usually stop moving

have you read TTT 11 00 post - and er and no it is NOT a recognised and taught tecnic at present

mozz: "No need for courts anymore in your brave new world then Tora? Let the coppers be judge, jury and executioner, like Judge Dredd? If any innocents are killed, acceptable collateral damage. Any crooked coppers, never mind, always some bad apples. " - where have I suggested that? Must be in your head me old china. Plod's job is to nick villains and put them through the system. If some get damaged in the process then fine they should not be resisting or committing crime in the first place.

..\\ You ever thought of writing Dystopian Science Fiction? //

ever thought ot it - he writes it everyday on AB ! ter ddah

as OP - I must try not to ridicule posters' pensees, and that one line above was intended in a light hearted free-speechy frou-frou

[teacake44]

We need Danny back to sort this, Take a look back to some old footage of your police force at the time fracturing defenceless miners skulls with your Truncheons, did you end up in the soup?

[dannyk13]

TC// Truncheons, did you end up in the soup?//
I was not present at the miner's strike incident, but, on the occasions that I was obliged to use my baton ,no I was not in the soup.

[Peter Pedant]

\\ What would you do Danny if somebody pulled a knife on you.//
for us punters?
you turn and run - v fast
as our judo master at strangeways no really Philip Hughes drilled into us, and only if you are cornered and think you are gonna
DDDDIIIIIEEEE do you use the xappy little judo and tae kwondo moves
which worked by the way
I took a knife off a man and wrote to him ( the first not the knifeman that is!) that it all worked

[iluvmargie]

Thank you danny.
