I always had the opinion that nobody really messes with the police in places like France and Germany because they'd give you a hiding if you did (and get away with it too). Always fun watching documentaries involving police in other countries. Remember watching a "Brits Abroad" kind of documentary showing some women on holiday in Spain getting a bit rowdy. Cop tells them to calm it down and one woman in particular starts giving him a load of poo poo. Next thing she knows her head is spinning because the cop gave her an almighty backhander. It's amazing what they can get away with in other countries. The woman started ranting about how "YOU CAN'T DO THAT" and the whole business, think she had a sudden epiphany on how patient English cops are!! I find it fascinating how a lot of problems we face as cops are the same across the board regardless of culture, language, country, etc. I believe a goon did a documentary in a nordic country but it was in moonspeak so I couldn't understand the subtly of some of the situations but it was really interesting to see that sorting out drunken people being dicks is a standard human law enforcement problem.

chartley posted:Don't tell me, is that filmed just after they arrived on scene to find local stations had it under control and tried to shift responsibility for it even though the entire incident happened on a sodding train? The Scottish division generally doesn't have a good reputation internally...

Apparently the police rehab centre has the best canteen in the UK. Their sausages are incredible according to several sources. Hope you're paying your fees for it chartley!

Snowdens Secret posted:Why are there so many vids of scrawny, often mixed-gender Britcop teams putting themselves in awfully low-priority-looking scenarios where they're outnumbered and out of sight of any lines of support? Because we're at the lowest amount of officers we've had since the 1960s?

Whale Cancer posted:Uhh why the hell didn't those brit cops pick that son of a bitch and slam him on the ground? You fuckers really need to get some tasers. You get one order to put your hands behind your back and then the taser comes out. Then it's a do it or get tased and if I don't get an immediate response it's time to ride the lightning. Probably because if they did that then they'd either have been attacked by the mob that was forming, or they'd be in even hotter water than they are now. Yes, they are actually being investigated because of this incident and the media are spinning police brutality stories like they're going out of fashion. Plus, body slams just aren't cricket

I don't literally mean a Hulk Hogan powerslam but grab their legs and dump them on the ground. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Ian_Tomlinson tl;dr police officer pushed him over during a riot (for no good reason, mind you) and the dude DIED about 10 minutes later

Bernard McFacknutah posted:In my part-time professional opinion, that officer was on Cocaine and possibly PCP. Our policy is to only cuff once he is under control and that doesn't look like he's under control. I most likely would've done something similar. It's clear that they're in a position where they can't control his arms or body because he's bunched up using a good centre of gravity and knows how to use his muscles for maximum resistance. Spray would've been my go-to tool to deal with the fella. I also would've been yelling in my radio for backup constantly, something that I can't remember seeing either of them do

Bernard McFacknutah posted:I'm guessing that they probably have already called for backup and transport simply by the fact that people have had time to congregate. In the Met you'd have support in less than 4 minutes in the middle of the day but I've no idea how long TV have to wait. I am pretty sure the met are one of the only (if not THE only) force that is still using CS Everyone else uses PAVA

I've been PAVA'd twice and gassed once. I can say that whilst gas is a lot messier and makes your face run, PAVA just affects your eyes and is about 500x more painful. It also works on dogs, as opposed to OC / CS which more than occasionally doesn't
