open to debate my arse police officers shouldnt be hitting anyone especially when theres 2 of them with a suspect already on the floor
PUT THE CRACK PIPE DOWN SON AND STEP AWAY FROM THE LEDGE
Reading your posts hurts my eyes more than red text on a blue background!!
You just know that when the people who say, "well he shouldn't have resisted", find themselves being assaulted by thugs that call themselves law enforcers, are having their rights breached, and being illegally detained - that they will be the first ones crying about it to everyone and being baffled when some other idiot says, "well you shouldn't have resisted".
As someone else has pointed out, if you witness someone mug an old woman, and you pin that person to the floor whilst waiting for the police to come, if the police are then informed you felt the need to punch the guy in the face 5 times whilst you had him pinned down because he was trying to get up - you're also going to get arrested. So why the hell shouldn't they?
Anyone who says it's reasonable is kidding themselves and they know it. Any of you can debate it however you want, but everyone here knows its unreasonable despite the rubbish you come out with.
Police and bouncers are thugs and cowards who have aquired a certificate that allows them to A) Have some authority they would never be able to have otherwise giving them some sense of power/worth, and B) Giving them a get out of jail free (literally) pass when feeling they want to assert their new found authority.
And before anyone says it, no I've never had a run in with bouncers, and only once had a run in with the police - and on that occasion was illegally arrested, and assaulted, charged with assault on an officer and then had all charges against me dropped when the CPS heard I would take them to court because they knew they had acted unlawfully and illegally. That incident only reinforced my opinion, but did not shape it.

He was not resisting arrest though.
Sure he was on the floor and perhaps being a little difficult.. but he wasn't posing a threat to those officers.
The blows to the head are unnecessary.

Unless you're a complete retard, you wouldn't resist arrest if you knew you were innocent!
Nice logic there. How about not letting your liberties and rights be cast aside just because a bully with a badge says 'jump'. Can tell straight away you're the type of person who would just bend over.

Ouch................
moron
youd rather get tasered and punched in the face -
days of pain
rather get arrested and released after the issue has been resolved -
possibly few hours
Thugs and cowards
There's a contradiction if I ever heard one I know a few police officers and I was a bouncer myself many moons ago. Try working a city centre night club at the weekend when people want to have a square go with you because you won't let them in because they're trollied. That's the door persons fault huh? Maybe I shouldn't have stepped in to break up the numerous fights I'd witnessed and just told the wife/girlfriend of the fella's face that was getting stamped on that I didn't want my tux getting ripped or blood on my new shoes? Her crying and pleading for someone to help him should mean nothing to me right? Maybe the police shouldn't bother trying to do the same either? It would be a lot easier for us to all stand about and do nothing would it not?
Your post reeks of bitterness and hatred for a group of men and women who really only want to get their shift over with so that they can go back to their own families in one piece. Sometimes that doesn't happen, but we all deserve what we get I suppose huh?
Your point may be valid to you in your own justification of it all and I reckon that should your house ever get broken into, your car stolen or you being threatened by violence then you won't bother calling the police to help you, nahhhhh ..... didn't think so
ye the same fanbase that jizz their pants when [TW]Fox posts on a thread and agree with everything he says even when they know its wrong.......

Is it not time we all had a reality check in this thread? Half of you post like you are some sort of glorious freedom fighter in a tyrannical police state.
If you are being wrongfully arrested by the police you'd need to be completely mad to attempt to resist arrest. What do you think it will acheive? Do you actually think that if you spend a good 10 minutes fighting them they'll turn round and say 'Perhaps he didnt do anything, let him go?'
Of course not. All you'll do is add a legitimate offence to the one you claim you are innocent of, with a bunch of witnesses.
The way our legal system works, and has worked since before all of us were born, is that police can arrest somebody on suspicion of commiting an offence.
Thats right - suspicion. Police are not prosecutors or juries. They arrest people they SUSPECT of crime, and then our legal process judges them either innocent or guilty. Thats how it works. Therefore fighting the police on the street because you did nothing wrong isnt standing up for your freedoms, it's completely bone headed.
What would you hope to acheive by such action?
The ONLY way to deal with being wrongfully arrested is to go peacefully and be reasonable. Starting a pavement brawl won't help your case.
Sadly however much you hate the bully with the badge our law often mandates that in some circumstances, we must do what they tell us. We might not like this, but thats what we have to do. Thats not bending over, thats not being a pussy, thats just what a rational member of society should do.
Your innocence can be fought for after this has taken place, and rightfully so.
Short of going to live in Somalia this is pretty much a fact of life rather than a UK thing.
I think the police in this country do a really tough job for really very little pay in the grand scheme of things. Society would fall apart without them and the vast majority of them deserve our respect not our contempt. There are bad apples everywhere you go - you cant judge an entire force on the behaviour (Or out of context behaviour) of a few. I really dont think I'll ever understand why it's perceived cool on this forum to be anti police and anti authority. Perhaps if more of us respected the police we'd all have less trouble with them. Even the most bone-headed of power hungry police officer isn't going to fire a tazer at you and beat you to the ground if you politely speak to him in a non-threatening way and comply with his wishes. No matter how much you wish it was otherwise, he has the power in the situation, not you or me.

From what I saw, it looks like he was punched as he was trying to grab the taser. That's a potentially very dangerous situation to be in.
