ormester101 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 The two people arrested were 64 and 65. Look at the video again, watch his rucksack and how he keeps swinging it at the police. This wasn't someone who was willing to come quietly being forced down by police brutality. It's clear from the video, and the witness who posted on here that he was giving as good as he got. yeah 5 on one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosxuk Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 yeah 5 on one I'm still waiting for your suggestion of what they should have done instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmw Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Clearly aggressive behaviour on this individual's behalf , clearly looking for a fight.. The police did their job just fine. No sympathy for these freedom riders. A compromise has been made by SYPTE offering more than other counties have yet still not satisfied. I hope the police arrest and prosecute all those evading fares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Shoes Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 So the police cant arrest people over 60 anymore? He was strong enough to resist being cuffed by 5 police officers. And no one knows what he was being arrested for either. So quick to blame the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbs Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 being a pensioner I use my bus pass sparingly, last week I took the bus to RHH as I sat there watching the multi racial passengers getting on and off (of all ages) the only people I saw pay a fare were the white ones, the rest had bus passes. so if the gov. can give the rest of the world passes I say fight on oap's you may have been like me and worked until you were 65 and earned one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willman Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 The criteria for getting a bus pass is no reflection of anyones earnings, creed or colour. Its a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaffa1 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 No sympathy for these freedom riders. A compromise has been made by SYPTE offering more than other counties have yet still not satisfied. I'll second that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No User Name Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Ever thought that since they're regular users that they may have bought a weekly/monthly saver therefore have already paid? Too much of a rational explanation for Sheffield Forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I listened to 3 old guys in MacD's today complaining that the last bus from Pickering to Whitby was 4.15 in the afternoon. Perhaps if they paid the full fare buses would run into the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
