Police Code Zero: Officer Under Attack
Discussion
Police Code Zero: Officer Under Attack Channel 5.
Watched a recording of this last night and was amazed that given the level of violence again the police, in two cases the assailants were only charged with the motoring offences. The assault charges were dropped.
Why? CPS decided they might not get a conviction?

Because they won't support prosecutions for assault police for the most ridiculous reasons, almost any defence raised means they drop it, even with over whelming video evidence.
Ask me how I know...
It's not shocking to anybody in the job however hopefully it'll clear up a few misconceptions held by members of the public.
Sentencing in this country is a joke. A few American and Canadian friends have viewed similar clips and told me that on their countries people would be doing 10+ years for some of that stuff.

A few years ago I had to step in to help two police officers who were in real trouble. A fight had broken out between two brothers in the early hours of the morning on a back street. When the police tried to break up the fight the brothers turned on them.
When I got around the corner the two guys were well on top of the police. I restrained one guy and they got the other one under control. It took quite a few minutes for their back up to arrive. A lot of officers did respond.
One of the police officers was quite badly hurt. He had a broken nose and his blood was everywhere. On top of all the punching it was a headbutt that broke his nose.
The two brothers faced a list of charges with police assault being the worst. They admitted to all charges before going to trial. They were fined pocket change and given something like 100 hours of community service.
It seemed very lenient to me given the level of violence and physical hurt.
I know the injured guy was off for quite some time and the other officer ended up leaving to go back to his old job.

I’ve watched one episode...I’d describe myself as low reacting person. I’m pretty laid back. I’ve zero anger issues...I’ve never used the horn in my last few cars...I don’t give idiot drivers hand signals or look to escalate any situations. I’m comfortable to let idiots get ahead of me as I’d rather arrive at my destination safely etc.
However, I don’t think I’ve ever been so angry at a tv program in my life! I could barely finish that episode. How the hell those complete
s got off so lightly or in one case entirely is beyond me. It’s fking disgusting.
I’d have no problem if those police officers kicked the living st out of such puerile waste of skin.
I was hoping that dog ripped thes face off.
That program has properly triggered my anger.
I don’t believe in the death penalty and by PH standards I’d definitely be classed as left but I prefer more libertarian...I’ll make an exception for these completes. They should be dragged out into the middle of the ocean by a rope around their ankle and then left to drift. The only way they can save their life is if the can convince me they can be a useful person to society from this moment on and stop being a .
-*aaaaand breath
Anyway...do sleep well

I've been watching this series too which lead me to search for a thread on it, before I get in to my own thoughts. I've thought about if I would help a copper in such a situation, but it always comes back to the view that I'd probably end up in trouble too, with an assault charge against the person assaulting the copper, or would the Police just not pursue it, or would they be ordered to pursue it if said aWhen I got around the corner the two guys were well on top of the police.

hole decided to press charges against me?Anyway, on to the show, like the poster above, this show gets me so wound up and the ridiculous sentences etc for assaulting a copper. Even with such blatant video evidence they still seem to get away with it.
Huge respect to everyone on the thin blue line, you couldn't pay me enough to be a copper and deal with this countries scum day-in, day-out.
I unintentionally caught the end of the program this week, I was genuinely appalled at the assault of the Police, albeit one was subdued with his partner’s pepper spray.
The sentence handed down to the thug seemed completely inappropriate, given the circumstance and body-cam evidence.
It seemed like a reversal of what we are so concerned about in the USA.

It's a total disgrace.....
Any right minded person would surely agree there ought be a minimum prison sentence for anyone attacking a police or emergency services operative starting with at least one years imprisonment; going up from there to suit the severity of the offence.
Building more prisons to remove the large amounts of utter scum from the streets to be able to apply proper punishment is pretty much the only thing I'd be happy to pay more tax for.

Isn't PC Harpers wife fighting for tougher sentencing for anyone who assaults an emergency worker?
Ambulance crews get assaulted, but at least they can drive away if possible, or refuse to attend a violent person unless police attend also. Police don't get the choice, one reason perhaps why they can retire earlier than most.
