Nothing Short Of Sexual Assualt

[webbo3]

Imagine if a man had done this on the tube, a bus or in a nightclub, he would be before a judge before you could blink.

The police were so scared of upsetting people they didn't dare arrest him for fear of starting a riot.

What proof do you have that they were scare of arresting him?
Sexual assault ? I don't agree!

[fiction-factory]

Well I would not dare trying it Islay. I am pretty sure I would not be ignored and allowed to walk off, although i suppose in a party atmosphere where the police may have been dancing with carnival goers (if that's where it was) peopel act a bit differently

[pastafreak]

And if it was a white guy doing the "assaulting", what would your comment be then...or of the numerous posters? I assume this is during the Nottinghill carnival...we don't know the story behind this photo, or what kind of banter may have proceeded it. It's really not worth getting in a flap about imo.

[TWR]

I don't find it funny, Is a wonder the police don't make a issue of this action.

and if a man did this to you on the tube or a bus what would you do?

[Cloverjo]

It looked as if the policewoman was laughing. I'm sure she didn't enjoy the experience, but still accepted it as part of the atmosphere surrounding the carnival.

The guy was an idiot for doing that, but no harm done.

[webbo3]

how many women on here would accept that from a stranger on the bus/tube/in a night club.?

[jno]

looks like a variation on twerking, or which a lot goes on round carnival. You're quite sure it never happens in nightclubs?

[MallyJ]

Looks like a consensual hug to me....being observed by what appears to be another policewoman....... I am slightly more concerned about the rather odd Mr Liquerman who seems to be a very strong Trump supporter in Scotland......and is seeing sexual assault where doesn't seem to be happening.......Most peculiar. Perhaps he needs to do some work on himself to find out why he sees things that aren't there...or perhaps he is simply a comedian and taking the wee wee!

its posted all over twitter and facebook by lots and lots of people.

thrusting himself onto a policewoman, ...........a hug,

so would you approve of this if a man did it to you or your wife.?

\\but still accepted it as part of the atmosphere surrounding the carnival. //

what like stabbing,robberies,acid attacks?

[Sqad]

It is total disrespect for the uniform and authority of the British Police Force who represent and supervise law and order in the UK.
Totally unacceptable.
If he was white and the policewoman black, then there would be a racial outcry, probably with rioting.

[Tilly2]

It is one of the unfunniest things I have ever seen. How she put up with that I do not understand. She had the skills to deal with him but, alas, was not able to use them at that time, for some strange reason. Totally out of order. He should have been arrested.

[Mamyalynne]

I find it somewhat inappropriate based purely on the short piece of video - should the Officer and her colleague have called for back up?

I'm afraid only they can answer that.

[fiction-factory]

I wonder if you have just looked at a still image, Mallyj and not seen the video of him thrusting his pelvis backwrards and forwards against her body

[pixie374]

It doesn't look like anything to do with colour. Or sexual assault. It's a bloke showing off on public. It isn't unusual.

[-Talbot-]

Let your husband or son try it on a Saturday night round town. He would be eating gravel in no time.

There is no way some of the people defending this would do so if say a famous footballer or rock star did this to one of his adoring fans.

No way at all.

[Zacs-Master]

Completely agree with cloverjo. A fuss about nothing.

[david small]

What sqad said.

[fiction-factory]

I don't agree it's nothing, Zacs; but nor do I understand webbo's likening it to "stabbing, robberies, acid attacks"
