I saw it on BBC, they said she was found sleeping in her car and refused to take a breathanalyser test. If you want to philosophise about it go ahead, but to me that means she was drunk. My view is also reaffirmed by the fact that she was obviously uncooperative and had to be dragged to her cell.
His behaviour was fine, he was dealing with an uncooperative drunk person. The PC dragged the said person and threw them in a cell.
Take a deep breath will you? He threw her in the cell. Saying that he threw her face into the cell with intent on her hurting herself is silly. Do you actually think that PCs out there get a kick out of throwing senior citizens face first down a concrete floor? She was drunk and that's why she hurt herself.
I can't see the abuse. He is in authority and he is dealing with a drunk uncooperative person. He has to wrap it up quickly so that he can get back to the beat and catch criminals. I would be infuriated to see the PC actually debating getting into the cell with the said "victim" until she was sobber, knowing that I'm paying him to babysit drunkards.
In my book, if you're drunk and the police get you it's tough. You'd better cooperate or they will use reasonable force to arrest you and detain you. If you get hurt in the process accidentally (as is this case) then by all means file a complaint and a law suit and what you feel like. If it's proven that there was intent then the PC should be sacked without pay and taken to court. However, I cannot see this in the video which is nicely edited to start with the PC shouting at her to shut up. It'd be interesting to see all the previous discussion and efforts to get her to cooperate before you had to use reasonable force.
Yes its drink driving,

this is the bit i don't get...why is it drink driving if you are asleep and NOT driving.
The reason she didn't know what was going on was because she was drunk.
So she was unable to work out what was going on, but was simultaneously avoiding a breath test?She knew full well she was over the limit, and deliberately avoiding a breath test.

That video has been edited to make the sergeant in question look and sound as bad as possible and by the looks of the comments in here it's working![]()
I have also noticed in Road Wars they use more Police officers in controlling an assailant, due to more control and less chance of anyone getting hurt.she claims she didnt know what was going on.
Of course she did. People who are blind and uo-operative can still refuse to take breath tests. it might be because they are smashed out of their skull, it might be because even when they are smashed, they still know you can get done for drink driving. However due to them being smashed you'll never know which. You've seen enough episodes of road wars / traffic cops to know that.
a woman, in a police station for a trivial offence.

And the officers were not under secret surveillance! All those present were aware there is CCTV recording everything that goes on. And know that they'll be answerable for anything they're seen doing, in the event of a complaint, no matter how vexatious it turns out to be.
The SGT in question was reported by a fellow PC and is very likely facing dismissal, but don't let that stop a good police bashing. He's also looking at a ABH conviction too.

Where's the proper film with sound?
I'm trying to work out what that word is![]()
