Police Brutality
When your police colleagues have lost the plot, apparently the only thing to is shut the door.

I don't know what that man has done but every police officer and PCSO knows how to restrain the most violent person and it's not like that.
This is West Midlands Police. Last week one of their long standing, highly regarded officers was sent to prison for the sexual grooming of a teenage girl and making indecent images.

I am pro-police and still believe the majority are good, honourable people but these incidents are going to have a shocking effect on community relations.
What do you think the police should be doing to redress this?

What is done,is done and the footage is such that there can be no denials of what happened.
All that can be realistically expected is that a senior officer comes out and give assurances that a full investigation is conducted and that any officer who has found to have crossed the line is given the appropriate punishment.
Officers sometimes find themselves in some very challenging situations and I don't doubt the difficulties that they face.However,they must remain professional and work as a team to bring about the correct methods of restraint.

One police officer (and I know he is a police officer) has defended this on Twitter. He says that we don't know what this man had done to cause this reaction and we don't know what it's like to be bitten, spit at, tested for disease and wait months for the outcome.
Whatever this man has done cannot justify this officer's out of control rage. You don't have to be a police officer to be bitten and spit at in your line of work and police officers have had better training to deal with it than most.
I have been spat at and had a kettle full of boiling water thrown at me when I've been working, so yes, I do know what it is like to be provoked. I didn't have the baton, the pepper spray, the handcuffs nor the colleagues to help out.
In my opinion this beating is indefensible.

To me that is the crux of the matter and we must remember that policemen are first of all human beings with all it's frailties and policemen secondly, despite the thorough training that they have undergone. People's reactions to the same situation ar quite different and I am not sure how one differentiates the quick tempered from the calm and calculated policemen.
Not knowing what was said to the offending policeman, I would rather not comment.

He is trained to show restraint. Just as we were in Northern Ireland where we were verbally abused, spat at, thrown bricks (and worse) at on an almost daily basis. And sometimes even shot at. We had to abide by a strict code of behaviour, even in the heat of the moment and most of us did. The odd ones didn't and were subsequently dealt with in an appropriate manner.
Maybe, just maybe this officer 'cracked' and had had enough of being spat at, punched, bitten and probably called all the vile names under the sun in pursuit of his job. We do not know what happened before the bit of filming we saw and I, for one, am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. He is only human after all !
