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.
