So it sounds like we’re all agreed that the actions of the police officer were considered and appropriate smile
Certainly on the face of it, along with the CC's statement (I imagine he wouldn't release such a statement unless he was confident it was lawful and appropriate).

I thought they were quite restrained with the (mother?) who got involved. I'd not let her remain that close.

La Liga, and yourself, make good points about it being open handed; it clearly is and it supports the explanation that he saw her going for the taser.

Still, with that in mind, what do you think of the other equally as uninformed posts celebrating a girl being punched?
It's all so second nature for me to think of these things from a legal context, there's no emotion in it for me in most circumstances of using force (there may be if it's more personal).

I see no benefit in 'celebrating' it.

You are contradicting yourself now. In your first sentence you accept it is open handed and in your second you refer to it as a punch. Which one is it ? Punched or Slapped ?
Slapped obviously.

Congrats, you win the internet for proving I'm not perfect.
I've read all your posts on the subject - I knew that already wink

It's not a case of celebrating a girl being "punched". It's a terrible shame that these little scrotes have absolutely no respect for the police or authority. If they did none of it would be necessary, but they don't and so if a slap brings then back in line then that's a positive step in my book.

Just because it's a female makes no difference. Have you seen the way these revolting little madams can kick off.

One of our family businesses is supplying door teams to nightclubs.

Women cause far more trouble and injuries than men.

Why is this news? Why are we discussing it?

Act a total tt towards the police & expect them to smile and salute? Come on. I wish the police would "open palm pre-emptive strike" more people, there's enough that deserve it!!

I work in Accrington a lot, and I would say that 90% of the kids are just like this (grown ups can be just as bad there to be honest). The shutters at the market have some movement in them, so I am guessing that would account for the noise making it sound worse than it was.

To be honest, I am only surprised we don't see this over there more often, when there are a lot of them together they can be quite intimidating, and it's not unusual to see groups of 'kids' partaking of weed on the street in the town centre either.

no doubt there's going to be a few media appearances of the innocent sweet council princess. Wouldn't make sense not to profit from it.

It always amuses me when some Muppet pipes up with "Wots yur number ?" Like it's some kind of threat/ warning - like the fkwit on the video.

It's there on my fking shoulder for all to see, you imbecile, and do you really think your goldfish brain would remember it for more than a millisecond if I told you ?

Accrington. Looks lovely.

The best way to avoid a complaint from those type of people is to show you don't care whether they do or not.

They think it gives them leverage. When you say, "It''s XXXX, ring 101 and ask for Inspector Smith", they usually don't follow through.

Looks rather restrained to me considering.

Last time I saw a "hard arrest" a chap in work lent a hand, which involved him punching the bloke and knocking him over so the young WPC could put the cuffs on............... He wasn't arrested.. She said "Cheers mate" as he walked away and got his train home.....

Only issue I see is the Daily Mail trying to make out the girl is a victim.

The only problem with that slap was it was about ten years too late...
