Sorry police of the org, i dont agree with the way they are handling the protests.
Being aggressive from the off, just encourages aggression back.

Some of the coppers on there look like they want it to kick off.

Difficult job i know, but telling people to take off their hoods when they havent done anything isnt fair. just creates resentment.

BTW im not anti police.

Why would that matter, if your not breaking the law, you should be able to wear what you want.

Some of them coppers on there are C**ts, end of.

Because Chris when they start causing trouble then they can order them to remove their hoods or scarves.
They got these guys straight from the train so hadnt done anything.
I see this type down the football matches all the time, power trips for some i think.

Dont get me wrong some of the people need a slap but they are being aggressive to people who wouldnt normally be a problem.

Oh like the girl who set fire to the koran and got in trouble but the asians who set alight to poppys and said kill soldiers didnt get arrested or anything ???

The answer to your question mate is nothing, cos they wouldnt want to spark ethnic unrest.

I dont wanna turn this into a thread about the two sides tbh, this was about over aggressive policing, imo of course.

29-11-10, 09:49 PM
FYI, I agree with you... that was meant to be a sarcastic remark lol

It is a power trip, telling them to take their hoods down or whatever is them saying "we're in charge", then obviously they can nick anyone who refuses as they were "causing trouble".


Football matches I can understand it a bit more, as it's less likely to be the police that cause the violence.

Interesting, out of the 80 odd arrested, 18 were EDL, so it was the swampies and the normal looking people (UAF) who were arrested the most, suprised me that.

My bro was a copper for 30 years so im more on the side of police than not tbh, but you do get a few macho ones with small penises that have to be king d*ck while at work.

I was drinking outside of a pub by the blues a few years ago, we always overspill off the pavement by a metre or so because the pavement isnt wide, all the pubs are the same so nothing new on that day.

A police van deliberately drives close to us even though there was loads of room, just missed my foot, so i say, 'bloody hell, bit close'.
Van stops dead, they all pile out and start pushing me and the others and being c**ts, for what? not needed at all.
They just assume cos your at a football match you are a soccer thug out for a scrap.

Didn't see it, but if trouble was about to kick of and there was no need to have a hood up i'd of been telling them to put there hoods down if i was an officer. It would make them identifiable and less likely to commit an offense for fear of being readily identified.

I'd be happy to obilige if i was in the crowd too.

Just my opinion, i never saw the sitution so not a valid one for the thread.

From footage I have seen of various protests, I would say there is a minority that turn up just to cause trouble anyway.

I would also say there is a minority of police that always seem to want the trouble to kick off by the way they act.

To be honest I think that a lot of the protesters and police in last nights programme wanted it to kick off. A few of the police freely admitted that they got their kicks when it all went off, and a lot of the EDL clearly wanted it to go off as well. At the end of the day whichever side of the fence you are on, it is a buzz and an adrenaline rush to be in a big scrap like that, which I imagine is why a lot of people join the riot police and go out protesting etc.

If you had listened when he told the guy to take the facemask off, the cop specifically stated that under, I think it was S60 of the POA, he could also ask someone wearing a bhurka to remove it, I presume that is only within a designated protest area mind you. You'd need to ask an english cop.

Was also surprised to see that it wasn't the EDL who were causing the most problems, actually thought they behaved pretty well and noted it was only sort of BNP and National Front that were causing problems within that side.

I didn't see the programme unfortunately (my dad wanted to watch Lewis) so it was a surely hypothetical question from my point of view. That said I wonder how many police officers would actually have the guts to ask someone to remove a bhurka in todays climate of racial tension. My guess is not many.
Remember seeing a load of muslims on t.v demonstrating and one single white van type man stopped to shout at them to go home etc and was told, on camera ' sir you must respect their right to a peaceful protest, if not you will be arrested' he was shouting far less abusive slogans than them, 'behead those who insult islam' etc as opposed to his 'shut up and go home'
Made me quite angry. This country bends over backwards to accommodate them only to be made a laughing stock by the very same people we welcome here.

I thought that UAF lot were a bunch of *****s to be honest, they were there to protest against the EDL, but they arrived way before the EDL and were causing trouble and shouting stuff at the police before the group they were protesting against had even showed up. Also love the way they were questioning the validity of the police being there when they would have blatantly been battered by the other lot had the police not been in the middle.

30-11-10, 11:57 AM
I thought the EDL were better behaved than the UAF in that programme. The arrest count shows that too. An EDL few seemed to be merely showing agression and even fewer were actually commiting offences.

On the subject of commiting 'offences' it seemed like most people that were actually arrested were right at the front of the line of police. That's not to say they were instigating anything though they were just stood parallel to the police. It is then the people behind these people that push the entire crowd forward. There was even a part where an Officer had spotted a group of instigators 5 odd rows back who were pushing and then it all kicked off. People at the front where pushed from behind and then from the front by the police. Physical contact is going to be made and in my opinion I would say most of it was by people trying to push themselves away from the wild flailing arms of the riot police. Police seemed to get angry at just the people right in front of them.

My sister is a police officer and there are Police programmes I have seen that I take a completely different view from her. From my conversations during the shows with her she'll see assertiveness where I will see indifference.

I understand that police need to be assertive to fulfil parts of their job role however unfortunately I think there maybe some blurring between times it is required fully and times it is required sparingly.

By contrast there have been programmes that I'm screaming at the TV cos the police officer hasn't knocked the cheeky **** who has commited a crime and then starts acting like an **** and talking down to the Police, so it's swings and roundabouts really and it's all controlled by the editing of these programmes.

I am not a police hater or whatever. But I do watch some of these programmes and see officers making arrests for mad petty things (like a man ringing a buzzer at the police station because after being punched in the face none could take a statement from him for an hour) yet there was enough resources to arrest him book him into cells and keep him there overnight.
There was another where there was an airshow on. There was a temporary ban in the town where consumption of alcohol or open containers of alchohol were not permitted. The policewoman even described the guidelines to the camera. Next minute shes running out the car and acosted some teenagers who have just walked out of a supermarket with a crate of stella (unopened). She then confiscates the crate from the guy holding it. He actually knows his stuff and is aware of the ban and protests saying that it was unopened, it was for a party at his house for that night and confiscating it was unlawful and refused to let go of the crate.
He was duly arrested (Section 5 Public Order).
As soon as they got back to the Station the custody officer let the guy go with his beer and he agreed it was clearly unlawful and didn't fall under the guidelines of the temporary ban.
I was actually quite fuming at that one as he got arrested for (Section 5 public order) for not letting go of his beer!!

If a copper asks/tells you to do something, you do it. You don't ask why and you don't refuse.

Even if you think they're wrong they will find some piece of legislation to back it up. But that's not why you do what they say - you do it because they're the police.

We watched this last night, I'd not seen it before and I was a tad appalled at some of the attitudes of the police on there. Some of the fellas certainly gave the impression they loved the atmosphere of the protests and were out to show the troublemakers a good time :rolleyes: One went to say (when referring to members of the EDL) that they "thrived" on events like this, I would go so far as to say it works on both sides, clearly some of those coppers did too...

I was surprised also how seemingly docile the EDL were in comparison to the UAF, clearly hadn't had enough to drink! Although I say docile, they were up until that group of Asians turned up...I can't remember if they were all Asians now or not so don't jump down my throat now for stereotyping... :-)

As Lily said, this programme gives a much more seemingly realistic perspective on policing, least we hear what the cops in question really think.

That ONLY works in a place where the police were seen indisputedly as the upholders of law and order.

Where they are seen as hamfistedly harassing people under "anti-terror" laws for nowt, or battering protesters like the thugs they're meant to be arresting then you can see people will want to create as much obstruction to the police as they can.

Methinks a lot of the EDL are "out of work" football hooligans as well as just normal blokes who are p*ssed off at the state of towns around here.
Which means they're probably quite used to police crowd control tactics and know how much they can get away with.

The UAF and all the associated ANL idiots obviously didn't and instead made themselves look a bit silly.


Some of the EDL were only shouting at the 'stanis who were shouting at them anyway, that is docile!

I've watched all (I think) of the series so far.

I think it has confirmed exactly what I thought was the case.

There are some people who are total ar$eholes who are simply out to cause hassle and grief to those they interact with and will do what they think they can get away with and get off on showing-off in front of their mates, whereas most people are quite reasonable and do their best to get along with others despite difficult circumstances.

I'm not saying whether I think the above applies to the Police or to the public, or both. You decide.

just watching the bolton on now, my god policing is different over here
ive had the privilage of doing crowd/riot control and feck me the english are very leniant, try that carp in N.I and its a different ball game, the uaf come across as a bunch of muppets, and i disagree with the edl's pricibles yet still think the uaf are wingnuts
and at the end it was obviously a 200 strong bunch of trouble makers came in for the uaf (i wouldnt have let them near it) and then the more radical side of the edl tried a mini kick off (including some mongs from ni i may add)
all in all i think the police got it mainly right and as ive said before were very leaniant, no baton rounds used or crowd dispercal cs from old faithful, a very minimal incident tbh

overall the british police force is extremely patient with a whole manor of people who are a waste of space to all accounts. anyone being mouthy to them while theyre doing their job should indeed be taken up on it. a very few members of the police force would get a power trip though, though sometimes it seems like the system is broken.

i heard a story about a bloke who heard a large theives breaking into his garage and house. he called the police who said their closest car was over an hour away and that they would come when they could.. a few minutes later he called back and told them not to worry coming over hed gone out and shot them all.. within 4 minutes 5 police cars and a van were outside his door.. when asked.. i thought you said you shot them he replied. i thought your closest cars were an hour away.

you could say they were pulled off of other more important jobs but to everyday you and me a gang of theives and nasty people breaking into your house where your family is, is pretty damned important.

overall, "in my opinion" coppers are having to work through an extremely bureaucracised (i hope i spelt that right) system, its there to keep them in line but strangles their effectiveness. anytime i see a mouthy git causing nothing but trouble get a baton in the mush is tax payers cash well spent

Whilst on the whole I agree with what you are saying, what if they were dealing with a serious road traffic collision, or dealing with the family whilst in attendance at a sudden death, or en route to assist colleagues who were getting a kicking?

I agree that people breaking into your house is a very important thing and a serious crime and trust me, we look on it that way and we ALWAYS drop anything that's not a very serious matter to attend to calls like that but sometimes, we can't. I'll tell you, I have never seen cops move as quick as they do when they are told there is a potential housebreaking in progress!

lammypie
03-12-10, 01:50 PM
it was only a story id heard. my personal experience with the local force is that theyl pretty much bend over backwards to get there when theres a break in. especially for our house which was a regular target due to the motorbikes inside the garage. the b*stards wernt disuaded by alarms, aluminum cover locks with titanium pins (cant grind the aluminium cant cut the titanium), theyd pulled the roof off once.

and big thanks to the very nice police officer that after the 13th time of attempted break in, for that year, who told us that if we "somehow" got hold of one, as far as he was concerned its self defence. moved since and the troubles stopped, but the new owners inherited a garage more difficult to break in than fort knox

Unless you have just had an unneccesary or undeserved dig at me, it's very unlikely that I'm having a dig at you. If I'm having a go at you, you'll know about it, it'll be damned obvious, otherwise don't take it personally.

Agree with what specialone said about aggression bringing out aggression , even I was getting angry just watching some of the cop/public interactions. Fair enough, yes you can use it defensively but there's a fine line between being defensively/tactically aggressive in your instructions and just plain bullying.

Was I the only one that laughed at the feminist bloke that couldn't act trying his hardest to put on a bemused lost sheep front? Reminded me of when you were in trouble at school
"I still to this day don't really know why I was arrested.*awkward silence*..no"

Suppose he was just looking for costa coffee and didn't realise he was at the front of a protest.


Agree with what specialone said about aggression bringing out aggression , even I was getting angry just watching some of the cop/public interactions. Fair enough, yes you can use it defensively but there's a fine line between being defensively/tactically aggressive in your instructions and just plain bullying.

Was he the one with all the peircings that said they were pulling his ear when no one was touching his ear???

I even looked to see if the cops visor was touching and it didn't look to me like it was!

I think that the Police get a load of **** thrown at them & this programme shows them for what they really are............................................... .............Human.
I wouldn't do thier job for all the tea in China, & as was said before, if a Policeman tells you to do something, then you should do it, it's called respect.

It has been a cracking series & has had me in stitches at some of the antics they get uo to.

Within reason i agree, but if someone walks up to you and you have done nothing at all and gives you attitude, your not gonna give respect in return.
Im pro police but dont like being talked down to by anyone, especially knob heads hiding behind a badge on a power trip.
Its these knobs that tarnish the other 99%.

"I don't say that horrible word... I'm a feminist."

What a c**t.

Respect is earned.

And it is getting eroded by the current trend towards a police state.
