Altercation at Terminal 2

[lazerblue]

A kick in the bollocks would have been much more appropriate in this situation.

But it could have aggravated the cyst on his testacle

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

But he doesn't know what the crackpot is carrying.

A nuclear bomb that's set off by a taser?

 

[remember arthur mann]

Not how I remember it mate ; )

To be fair, you're a lot younger than me.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Change it to suspect then. Same point applies, police aren't allowed to get in last digs, that e.g, a householder might get away with against a burglar.

He’s lucky it happened in this country otherwise their mum would be organising a funeral in certain parts of the world

 

[lazerblue]

On people who have just been tasered and are incapacitated?

You're not a tik tok lawyer by any chance?

 

[Lavinda Past]

If he can't keep his emotions in check he shouldn't be carrying a lethal weapon or a taser.

That's impossible to predict or assess prior to an incident. It's easy after the event.

The lad overstepped the mark. Most of us would do the same in that situation. I know I probably would, and I wouldn't regret it.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Did he even know? He could easily say he was getting up again.

Remember who the offenders are here.

I can’t say I’d have kicked him but I wasn’t there-and his defence will be based on whether subjectively he had an honestly belief at that time -see Rv Palmer

And why didn't he taser the suspect himself when he had the weapon drawn rather than kick him?

Suggests he did know that weapon was already deployed by his colleague.

I did but I think I got away with it.

You and Mr K aren’t that far apart.

The difference is the subjectivity of the necessity of the force used. He’s suggesting it isn’t, whereas you are suggesting that it could have been, having seen the whole incident play out.

The inquiry will ultimately define that.

You beat me to it-we are arguing over what was in the mind of the officer at the time-and that’s not going to be established here.

 

[Barcon]

To be fair, you're a lot younger than me.

Bloody hell. I'm 60. Then again, you did know my Grandad ; )

Are you a firearms officer though? We rightly hold them to high standards. If they can't meet those standards they are cut from the team. That's the reality even if some think it is harsh.

You have an imaginary high standard to hold the police to that is impossible to achieve.

 

[fitzy blue]

He went to hospital and has a cyst on his brain I read.

Having seen the video, that guy having a brain is debatable.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Is it possible that some people have low standards? Some people are praising him for not using lethal force to carry out an extra judicial murder.

 

[i kne albert davy]

You have an imaginary high standard to hold the police to that is impossible to achieve.

Especially when some pricks just tried to punch your lights out.

Was talking to my Sister today about the incident, I mentioned so many people jumped to conclusions without the facts. She told me to read up on the "legend of Gelert", it's a very sound reminder we shouldn't believe anything until the facts are known, particularly in this case with the scrote Lawyer making all kind of claims, none that anyone can say at this juncture are true or false.

It perhaps isnt required to decide which side are in the wrong here. Nobody in that video comes out of it well. The Guys involved obv acted like pricks and the Police followed that up in a similar manner. All should be suitably punished for their actions and neither should/can claim to have a moral or socially acceptable high ground.

One was an officer of the law trying to do his job in extreme circumstances dealing with animals. I think the officers HAVE the higher ground and acted admirably.
