Yes I've seen that.
The guy doesn't hit anyone. He is being confronted by a gang, one of whom knocks him to the ground and then another hits him on the back of the head once he is down. The police do nothing........until the gang move on whereupon they immediately push the victim of the assault up against a shopfront.
Not surprised they don't want the footage shared.

Maybe I'm harking back to a different time but when did Police officers start using the F word and threatening violence when dealing with someone?
Yes drunken/angry people being arrested do but, surely the Police should rise above that and be professional. I mean if asked in court to repeat what they said do they really want to be saying 'get in the f
king car' and 'try anything and you'll be dropped'.

But yeah, wrong person based off just the recording alone.
Incivility is the easiest complaint to avoid.

Yeah no need in most circumstances. Yes drunken/angry people being arrested do but, surely the Police should rise above that and be professional. I mean if asked in court to repeat what they said do they really want to be saying 'get in the f
king car' and 'try anything and you'll be dropped'. Incivility is the easiest complaint to avoid.

Very short clip. I'm gonna bet he'd been starting on people all night and they decided that last altercation was the last straw.
That’s quite the jump. Surly he would have been arrested on suspicion of breach of peace or something along the lines of he had been warned multiple times previously.
Not assault on a police officer, which never happened anyway from what we can see.

Well before I joined in 1980.Yes drunken/angry people being arrested do but, surely the Police should rise above that and be professional. I mean if asked in court to repeat what they said do they really want to be saying 'get in the f
king car' and 'try anything and you'll be dropped'. Sometime in the 19th century would be my guess.

especially when it comes from 2 females who would probably end up on their own arse if trying to fight.

So, he isn't the physical aggressor even if he was giving it the verbal.
Besides, his verbal is severely lacking as it is. I couldn't understand anything he was saying, proper innit bruv.
I can't see this helping the Police at all.

I could forsee this assumption coming, but even if that was the case, she saw him get taken down. He didn't throw any punches.

We don't know what he did or when. All we've seen is the bit where he gets arrested.So, he isn't the physical aggressor even if he was giving it the verbal.

We're in a place where there's a huge amount of visibility. Not just recordings being uploaded, but people who are live streaming across platforms for monetisation purposes.
1000s of hours, find one questionable public order arrest which can feed into an agenda, then you're on to a viral clip (not that the person who recorded / streamed it may benefit to the full extent).
You're paid the same whether you are stuck in custody / having to do paperwork or not.

My suspicion is the officer went for the low hanging fruit, the easiest and most comfortable arrest and thought she would get away with it. Hopefully she won't.
'Low-hanging fruit' is to tell people to go their separate ways because it's a low-level public order scuffle. You're paid the same whether you are stuck in custody / having to do paperwork or not.
