scoobydotcom Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 no matter how you look at it.....being shouted at IS NOT a matter for self defence, if he thought she'd been a public order offender then he shouldve arrested her, or called in the snatch squad no shouting alone isnt but add that to her aggressive manner and the fact she constantly keeps going towards him with an object in her hand and refusing to follow police instructions is he was unable to use cs gas or call in assitance from the police corden so he acted in the correct manner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyfriday Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 On a serious note m8 i wouldnt be happy. I've looked at the video many times and find the womens attitude horrible. Shes agressive, shouting, swearing, ect. Even when he warns her to stay back she carries it on. Sgt Smellie's actions stink! apologises if this crap joke has been made already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melthebell Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Maybe the police officer was suffering the same when he struck the angry women. indeed it happens on both sides BUT his training makes him more aware about the situation and to not react in such a way. if he suffers an adrenalin hit and clubs somebody then he SHOULD be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 no he didnt, he was cleared of common assault So were the police who beat-up Rodney King. This is no measure of their innocence. You can hold your opinion, but don't use the officer's acquital has evidence he was reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydotcom Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 being edgy and on yer guard is different tho from hitting them as has already been said...more emotional than a fool, has anybody actually been in a riot situation? i have a few times, its scary, emotional, highly charged and the adrenalin floods your body which explains why when someone who is in that mind state needs to be treated as a danger, especially when they approach you in an aggressive manner carrying something that might be used as a weapon which riot were you part of? did you get arrested?

koenigsinger Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 so he should have made a rash decision? thats not how the police are trained they are trained to assess situations as fast as possible and act, he acted in self-defence you cant have it both ways, he wasnt being attacked, so thats clearly not self defence. he was being yelled at, but really, if thats the way he deals with being yelled at, he's in the wrong job, and should perhaps try something where his delicate sensibilities wont be threatened, floristry perhaps?
