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

[webbo3]

And this is the lovely chap.
Marcus Coutain, 45, (30.4.75) of Islington was charged on Friday, 17 July, with possession of a knife in a public place.

He will appear in custody at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, 18 July.

Having been arrested, it was established the he had been circulated as wanted on recall to prison where the index offence was grievous bodily harm.

On recall to prison.

The copper saved someone getting stabbed, is that not what you've all been crying out for on AB, to see the reduction in stabbings??

[Mamyalynne]

I imagine he was relieved of his blade when he was handcuffed, pleased he is going back to jail and not wasting hospital time or worse.

[teacake44]

21.07 May be, may be not, but never the less still struggling to get free knowing he was going back to jail.

[teacake44]

^^ 21.27

[Deskdiary]

The trouble is Teacake, you invoked the “Enoch Powell” argument, and therefore you’ve shown yourself as a racist.

Only racists, ever, invoke EP, you racist.

[gulliver1]

21.17. B/S , once again you are breaking "Site Rules" not addressing Teacake by the user name .

[Bobbisox1]

And you play by Site Rules Gulliver ?

Purleaseeee

[royfromaus]

Is this the same man?

[Mamyalynne]

I'd say yes - nasty piece of work, glad he's off the streets - again.

[Peter Pedant]

yes I would as well
bridports proper (*) name is Broadchurch
what a lucky escape for doresetters - I note the silly gairl invited him down

should be 'prarperr' of course

[Prudie]

TV Broadchurch is a fictional Dorset town and was filmed in many locations out of that county but the main beach and cliffs that feature as the murder scene is West Bay in Dorset, not Bridport.

slack alice: "So this quote is an outright lie in your opinion? " - you people really need to look up the dictionary definition of a lie. It may not me a current technique for the police but it's an opinion not a lie. In any case it's a very common known technique of restraint, anyone in any sort of combat art will tell you that. If it's not a current technique it should be, very effective.

[Peter Pedant]

gentlemen - calmiti ( er italian for calm yourself - I dont know the plural - calmatevi perhaps ) - let us discuss rationally and logically and stand out as a beacon of courtesy

I thought this was : can the police lie to suspects in an interrogation - yes deffo

and does that smear - into the police deceive the public? - no I think they hide behind a ridiculously extended sub judice 'rule'

but is it really - de we troof tellers on AB often stretch the troof in order to make a point?
not me not me but I cannot possibly otherwise comment!

[Peter Pedant]

// the murder scene is West Bay in Dorset, not Bridport.//

whose name used to be Bridport Harbour - the power of the railways was such that they forced the name change in the mid 1800s. The original saxon harbour line can be seen as you drive back from West Bay to Bridport as the line of houses that form the start of the town

[royfromaus]

So he's a known scumbag who is in all likelihood carrying a knife and the police have to arrest him...but the media, the police superiors and Answerbankers are not happy at how that was achieved. Calling for his sacking and pension to be stopped, on top of that his lawyer thinks charges should be dropped against the criminal because of the way he was arrested.


I repeat...who in their right mind would join the police force.

[ToraToraTora]

there's your BA ^^^^^ bang on roy, it never ceases to amaze me how much concern there is for criminal low life scum.

[THECORBYLOON]

Have you considered there might be a valid reason for the technique's not being officially sanctioned?

I get the impression that some folk think that a death resulting from the actions of the police are an occupational hazzard of breaking the law.

[THECORBYLOON]

Hazard even...

[teacake44]

I said before the police need to carry a big bag of lollipops to encourage them into the back of the van, but god forbid they choke on it on the way to the station. :0)
