This is why people are losing respect for the police...

Bit of a tenuous link for an anecdote, but my wife’s cousin’s husband works for a Police force here in the north west, and part of what he does touches on recruitment, and he quite often finds that candidates they reject as unsuitable for the role suddenly turn up a few months later working for one of the bigger forces, namely the Met, and as in this case, GMP. And the force he works for has a recruitment shortfall, yet still rejects these people, while those bigger forces must be in a so much worse situation that I guess they have no option but to take them.

During the previous government's push for police officer recruitment - with the threat of funding being withheld if recruitment targets were not met - some forces (including MPS) were contacting those who had previously failed recruitment/vetting inviting them to re-apply.

Wouldn't be surprised if it exists. Still doesn't make a difference, officer has let himself down big time

Irrespective of what happened before. Booting a prone guy on the deck, followed up a stomp is wholly unnecessary. when you also then take in to account a woman cowering over him, trying to pull him away from the stomp. Come on eh.

That would have been there already, they don't just develop overnight but it's presented in the reporting without any context leaving the possible impression to the unaware that something additionally bad has happened and been shown on a CT scan as a result of the kick, rather than the CT scan revealing something that was already there.

What are you talking about, these brain injuries happen quickly because of serious impact injuries. Do you also dispute boxers developing brain tumors the same night after they've been bashed in the head? The brain injury is clearly from being booted in the head and stomped in the head.

This is slightly dodgy reporting, especially given the "community tensions:

Actually things like cysts can develop very quickly after an injury.

And actual medical staff will likely be able to tell the difference between something that has possibly been there for ages, and something that has developed due to a recent incident as there are a load of different types of cysts and causes and things like CT and MRI's can differentiate between say a cyst that is fairly solid or a cyst that has filled with a liquid like blood.

As someone else has said, there is a lot of experience of trauma induced cysts and brain injuries due to impacts thanks to the like of boxing.

Wonder what the publics view would be had there been extra footage before this showing the suspects throwing punches on female officers

Let's say person A witnesses person B breaking Person C's nose. Is it then legally acceptable for Person A to kill Person B?

That's taking your example to the extreme but it was possible that kicking and stomping on someone's head could have been fatal.

A single punch to someones face can also be fatal so whats your point?

Know a couple of people who got on the wrong side of it in Ibiza, didn't get much comeback either.

Don't have much sympathy from me though, typical brit abroad type who don't think there are consequences (EDIT: Some assumptions on my part but I'm pretty sure that is how it went down from previous experiences).

It's certainly not the case that such an action would never be justified but the perceived danger posed would have to be immediate and severe.

yea like the guy holding a grenade and trying to pull the pin whilst under the influence of a tazer

maybe a kick in the head would fit then

her being female shouldn't play a role, shes supposed to be able to do the job as good as any man.


maybe its a time female officers stopped serving on the front lines where physical violence could break out.


at least the little dumpy ones who would struggle to tie a shoelace

Law and order needs a come back it seems, justice by mob has no place in this country, save that kinda stuff for Pakistan where they drag people out of police stations and stone them

she is just a police officer surely? with equality why does sex matter?

she can either do the job, or she can't



you wouldn't see an attack on a man as more severe if it were a small harmless looking guy? plenty of men can't defend themselves very well either, but no distinction is made
