Don't fall asleep in the car.

I particularly like this bit...

Right from the very outset, he's expressed sorrow for the injuries that she received while in his custody

Well - that's alright then

Would you say the same about the Armed Forces then Paddy?

That’s off topic however none of the armed forces personnel I know are like that. The only hard cases I know are those who joined up and then bought themselves out after six months. Conversely a study in the USA found that young men were convinced to join the forces after playing promotional violent war games on PCs.

Yes he is a thug and one of the other officers complained and used the video as evidence. It just goes to prove that there are good and bad apples in all organisations.[/QUOTE]


What a dickhead reply. If there are bad apples in other organisations they are not given authority to use force on the public in the way the police have. The police are unique in that they are given authority to use force, maim or even kill. A bad apple working at the Post Office is hardly going thump you if get in the wrong queue. The fact is many men join the police in order to have an outlet for their aggression.

What a dickhead reply. What the police are or are not authorised to do has nothing to do with there being good or bad apples in the organisation.

To make sweeping generalisations about who joins the police and why without any evidence to back up such claims just makes you look like a candidate for employment by the tabloid press.

How long has it been an arrestable offence to be asleep in a (presumably stationary) car?

It's like this:
