Don't fall asleep in the car.

[thunderlizard]

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

It's like this:

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.

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.

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

I'm sure his fellow inmates will welcome him

I just actually watched the footage, it's shocking. I heard on the radio that the judge recommended he serve 3 months of the 6 month sentence. I hadn't realised he'd done it in front of other officers, too.

Should be more like 6 years.

Mostly bad by the look of it. There were 6 coppers watching what he did and not finding anything wrong with it. If it hadn't been for one WPC with the heart of a lion, nothing would have been done about it, except possibly for a few charges like resisting arrest etc.

The fact that NONE of the others thought it was wrong is worse than the fact that one thug abused his power to assault an innocent woman.

I was watching First Blood on youtube the other day

A 58 year old lady was arrested and beaten by police after being found asleep in her car.

This doubly pees me off because I have lost count on the number of times I have pulled over for a snooze and Mr Plod knocks on the window.
