Based on logic- 2 cops under each arm and drag backwards to awaiting transport. None of this carrying nonsense that i see on telly all the time.Based on what experience, may I ask?
I lived next door to Wellington House in Mill Road in Deal for seven years.I'd like to think so. But...
The British have been demonstrating (and very occasionally rioting) at least since the Romans were here. The Duke of Wellington was called The Iron Duke. Many think it's because of his campaigns in The Peninsular War or at Waterloo. Oh no. He had the windows on his London residence (Apsley House, now a museum dedicated to him) covered with iron shutters to stop demonstrators breaking his windows. Hence his nickname.
However, in that whole chunk of historical history, I'm not sure that any demonstration did anything other than annoy everyone not demonstrating. Any causes that eventually might have succeeded did so in spite of demonstrations.
By the way, if anyone is interested, my avatar is a daguerreotype of The Duke of Wellington in old age (a daguerreotype being an early type of photograph). Any more useless information required, just ask.
Well that's four cops in any event.2 cops under each arm and drag backwards to awaiting transport.
You know who you are dealing with in this instance so a bit less of the flannel please.Well that's four cops in any event.
Joshing aside.
Arresting an individual can be as easy as "inviting' them to the station at their 'earliest convenience". Always my preferred way of conducting business - right up to a needing teams of armed officers, with dogs, guns, helicopters, road blocks, a 3 am start, and all the associated drama. It all depends on the circumstances.
Let's not forget. Inconvenient as it may be. Folk have a right to protest. If it comes to pass that they decline to "come quietly", then they have to be removed by force. This seldom looks pretty. To beat someone into submission is easy - a practice often witnessed in other countries.
To restrain someone, (whilst of course, all the while being filmed) without hurting them or your colleagues is man(woman)power intensive.
If you have not experienced it (from either side) them you are to be forgiven for not perhaps, fully appreciating the nuances of British policing.
Difficult to define Policing by consent (the backbone of British Policing) when held against those who do not consent to be Policed.
How?You know who you are dealing with in this instance so a bit less of the flannel please.
Well if you need an answer to that you haven't been paying much attention to the media recently. Try "inviting' them to the station at their 'earliest convenience" and see how you get on.How?
Tell me and the rest of the world how it is you "know" who you are dealing with?
He didn't say that was appropriate in these circumstances now did he?Well if you need an answer to that you haven't been paying much attention to the media recently. Try "inviting' them to the station at their 'earliest convenience" and see how you get on.
Unsurprisingly this post has brought out the usual police-haters.
There is a reason why the police don’t arrest them straight away. If you actually want to know why please read on:
A recent Supreme Court ruling stated, ‘There should be a certain degree of tolerance to disruption to ordinary life, including disruption of traffic, caused by the exercise of the right to freedom of expression or freedom of peaceful assembly’.
Because this was an appeal against conviction, heard at the Supreme Court, the ruling becomes ‘a stated case’ or ‘case law’. Effectively it becomes law. So the police have to allow the protest for a time before they can start to make arrests. The protesters are non-compliant, so have to be carried. As the police have a ‘duty of care’ not to hurt the protesters it requires at least three to four officers to carry one protester.
It doesn’t look good when the police stand around doing nothing while these buffoons block the M25, but they have no choice. It’s the law. If you don’t like it can I suggest that your talk to your MP? They make the law, not the police.
How?
Tell me and the rest of the world how it is you "know" who you are dealing with?
Thank you for proving my point.Hate is a particularly strong word. Infact these days you could call it a hate crime.
Unsurprisingly this post has brought out all current and ex policeman who feel any criticism of workings of the police is a sleight on them, rather than a moment for self reflection.
Anyway, back to mooching.
You are welcome.Thank you for proving my point.
You've never tried to move someone who not only doesn't want to be moved, but who's position will be improved by the appearance of rough handling, have you?2
2 at the most.
didnt mention the extra copper in the van they are waiting for or the custody sargent with cells just waiting to be filled.You've never tried to move someone who not only doesn't want to be moved, but who's position will be improved by the appearance of rough handling, have you?
If someone wants to kick off, two people aren't enough to shift him (yes, assuming gender) without someone or, possibly everyone getting hurt.
Go wrestle with one of these clowns and let us know how you get on.
if my granny was deported to the colonies id be a police hater tooThank you for proving my point.
