Disabled Protestor Jody McIntyre in Shameful BBC Interview
- Thread starter lixxus
- Start date
Imagine if he was left to sit in his chair and then trampled by a mob and the Police did nothing.
Why not, no-one was hurt. The only thing that was hurt Jody McIntyre's pride nothing more. Would you rather they used water cannon as was suggested by some supporters of the protests
they didnt need to use that much force though it was clearly unreasonable, as someone who teaches home office approved control and restraint techniques their is nothing reasonable about dragging someone and turfing them out of a wheelchair, it is clearly illegal use of force. If he was in danger they could have just picked him up or wheeled him out the way.
yet again the police show their true colours and demonstrate how unprofessional they really are! Hopefully the IPPC will crucify the officers involved
I know, Ive done it practically as well, but in these circumstances, having watched the video, I can see nothing to see that the officers used reasonable force!
As someone who teaches approved control and restraint techniques you should know that dragging someone who did not want to be moved (remember they were not willing participants here regardless of his disability) away from an security zone is in fact an approved technique.
The footage is not clear enough to draw the kind of conclusions you have as to the options available to the Police at the time.
The fact remains that he was not injured in any way (he admitted this himself), so undue force was not used by that very fact alone.

Correct, but do not let the facts of the matter get in the way of a Police Officer man handling a disabled revolutionary.
Did you read his blog beforehand, no, thought not.

I cannot go into specifics as it is a restricted document, but there should have been someone to lift and carry his legs and someone to protect the head. even if he was not injured force still has to be reasonable.
I suppose that guy who got smashed in the head with a baton, the right wing ocuk would also think that was reasonable!
Don't worry I've experience and if you watch the footage that is exactly what happens to begin with.
The first Police Officer has hold of him in the correct way as to support him, and another police office did have hold of his legs and lower abdomen, He began to struggle and his brother interfered which led to the Police dragging him as quickly as possible to the curb. There was also a third man involved although it is not clear what he is doing.
There is nothing here that intimated an excessive use of force.
Ideal situation to exclusively use classroom technique, I think not.
On the face of it, No I would not. However that incident has nothing to do with this one.

So to summarise, if people don't agree with you, or your stance on the fees issue, they're far right and need to shut up?
Good God man.
I am not right wing to begin with. And I suggest you look up what spamming is before you accuse me of it. Especially as I have made a similar amount of posts as you, but with far more relevant and honest content

You have made your point regarding this matter. Can't you refrain from making the same points over and over again.
Stop being patronising to other members regarding this matter, not everyone has to share your opinion.
