"The coppers had no idea he was on drugs.."

The unusual level of strength is a fair indicator as is the ability to absorb blows that would render a normal person quite in a second.

p1405: The day we as a society start turning a blind eye to law breaking by police, is the day we give up the right to a free and democratic society, and start living under the rule of a police state. Something I certainly do not want, do you?

The day we as a society start turning a blind eye to law breaking by ANYONE, is the day we give up the right to a free and democratic society, and start living under the rule of ANARCHY. Something I certainly do not want, do you?

I remind you Issy of the words of LECC Chief Commissioner Michael Adams while speaking to Officer E, that his actions demonstrated a "complete lack of common sense".

There has been no suggestion during the hearing that the youth was resisting. In fact the video shows he was clearly restrained by three officers while Officer E beat and punched him repeatedly. For you to assert that the victim was demonstrating an unusual level of strength is simply not borne out by the facts/
You are always calling for evidence from others, where is your evidence for your erroneous claim.

I don't believe the coppers were aware that they were being filmed. Silly little pigs.

Hi there PAUL1405...

I find your insulting remarks of police ('silly little pigs') reprehensible PAUL1405. You've really revealed you true colours haven't you!

Paul,

"The coppers had no idea he was on drugs.."

How do you know?

As far as strength goes, from the video, it looks as if it takes three to restrain him.

Why don't we wait till the inquiry is over?

o sung wu, no more than someone who calls for so called "sidewalk justice" police beating innocent people indiscriminately! The pompous high moral ground does not become one who readily calls for summery justice to be metered out at will, by a bunch of uniformed thugs!

"Years back quite often police could dispense with a bit of sidewalk justice" Did that include entering cells to bash people, a common practice in the good old days, was it not. The verbalising of people to obtain a conviction, etc.

Don't give me this martyrdom nonsense, being the life of a poor copper. Employment in the police force is really no better, or no worse, than any other job, otherwise people would not be clamouring to join. I don't believe they have a problem getting recruits. It is in itself a well paid and rewarding profession.
