Amaranthus Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 What if he hit me first and killed me? wouldnt i best defend myself first? You are a civilian, and unless you're really into S&M you won't be walking around with handcuffs so your situation would be entirely different. He could easily have arrested the woman and your presumption that that would have escalated the crowd to violence is simply conjecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaranthus Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I see, so if someone comes at you with a knife about to attack you would say: "Please put down that weapon so I can arrest you"? Before you say she didn't have a knife, the police officer didn't know that. This is becoming a joke. 'He didn't know that'... so that's how it is now? You can just walk around banging people out left, right and centre because they could have a knife... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny5 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 The best thing... so not the right thing then? Under the circumstance, both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're ever faced with an angry mob and a particularly angry person approaches you with a potential weapon I'd like to see you analyse every detail within the couple of seconds that's needed for the person to attack you.

He could easily have arrested the woman and your presumption that that would have escalated the crowd to violence is simply conjecture. Shaz, you seem the sort of lady who will argue even when your wrong. The women in the clip was agressive and was right in the officers face. He told the women to move back and the daft lady just came back more agressive, swearing, shouting, in his face. The police officer is the victim here.

You're acting as if this policeman was all alone in the middle of a violent mob... which he wasn't. He had plenty of his brethren around him He is trained to deal with these situations He had ample opportunity to arrest her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 So you're saying that this woman deserved to be hit because of what others did? You'll find the peaceful protesters arent so peaceful, just like that daft little loud women before the officer took her down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
