    You'd be fecked if we all had to change to Islam. How would you cope having to make your mind up between two different fantasies?

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to SupremeSpod again.

    The law says you wouldn't get either. It does say police officers have to be above reproach.

    we aren't arguing he didn't misbehave, we were talking about the punishment, it was excessive for the facts presented. If he was guilty so were the other policemen laughing.

    In my opinion it was a disciplinary matter not a criminal one, he caused excessive pain but he didn't quite commit a serious assault.

    According to the reports there have been no previous sustained allegations of misbehaviour.

    So he needed words of advice, maybe a formal HR warning.

    I wasn't. The Police officer has a clean record, he has been an officer a number of years, in this instance he was a little rough. He didn't put the boot in while the suspect was on the ground, he used an accepted technique a little harshly.

    He needed to be given an official warning, retraining and the force apologise to the scrote for him being over enthusiastic.

    On numerous occasions they had put up with this regular customer, maybe they were just fed up with him, I frequently feel like battering some of my customers they just don't tend to carry knives or threaten me physically.

    Seems the police are not there to uphold the law - they think they are the law.

    Where is JUdge Dredd?

    A lot of these scrotes need a short sharp shock. He's been in custody numerous times, which means he's been a pain in the arse to lots of people. Of course the copper has overeacted and now the parents want to sue. So there's the lesson, touch me and I'll sue your arse. Of course all those incovienenced by their tulipty offspring should sue the parents.

    Having had a go at 5 lads the week before last who I caught pulling down signs for the new local park & who I have seen subsequently hanging around, lo and behold the park which has just had a £60k refit has already been vandalised. Some scrotes have set fire to one of the benches, the same benches these little scrotes seem to embed themselves in the evening. I'd love to catch them at.

    He had been in the custody suite at Swinton police station in Greater Manchester ‘numerous times’ before

    he restrained him, there was no permanent damage, they could possibly have spent a little more time leading up to it and making sure he knew the consequences but how would you have dealt with the situation?

    He had to be searched, he refused, he was an unknown quantity and a potential danger to all.
