He was protesting against cuts to travel passes and basically suffered a.b.h. on the train platform
How do these animals sleep at night?

That was sad to watch but why would they all jump on him like that? Must be more to it than we know. Not that I'm trying to defend these pretendy coppers from the transport police.

saw this last night. Quite funny tbh when the kid legged it and the 2 fat coppers stood and watched in disbelief. Even tried to blame his mom!! This programme really showed how useless the police are - 100's of Roma milling around the streets at all hours ...and the police's response? A WPC with her head out of a meat wagon asking "c'mon lads, isn't it about time you went home?"...the Roma just ignored her and carried on chatting as if she wasn't there...Job done, back to the station for a cuppa |

the way these kids just taunt them is an absolute joke .. that woman should become a dinner lady or summit useful
 Sheffield doesn't even look rough to me , i grew up in a rough town & the Police would've twisted you up for the slightest bit of lip .. the offence doesn't matter .. they just make one up as we all know !!! |

that wasn't quite the guy i meant Emden , although was amusing that fat faced tw*t deserved it , imo
I meant the Chav in the grey/purple hoody outfit who said ' want me to throw this at you .. i'll smash your face in right now' shoulda been locked up for that , i don't like the Police but that is beyond limits |

How are they ever expected to learn any kind of discipline when they can roam about talking like that to Police WOMEN

They also Daren't arrest an EDL protestor that climbs on top of the Roit van waving a St George flag ... waste of fkn time the Police ... i'd love to join the EDL

By:
Half a Million that cost ... but daren't cause an upset .. they've obv ruled from a higher level nowadays .. just arrest the Jerks & let the real crooks jog on

This guy was obviously kicking of before this video started recording to be restrained by the plastic coppers. They displayed great restraint not giving that mouthy cow a firm backhand across the mouth. I would have gone flipped on the third "what you doing" and booted her onto the rail tracks.
I'm no fan of them but you have the admire the patient and restraint our police force show in the face of constant provocation. That job would destroy my soul! |

I've been arrested countless times (not always though my own fault & sometimes as a victim) and they've never once given me an ASHTMA Inhaler in the cells ... it's my Human RIGHT to be provided one (they have some in the Doctors room)
They waste all night telling you the Doctor's on his way .. the Doctor arrives then starts asking you 'are you insane ' ... I could be dying here ....... you chinky / asian bstrd !!!!!!!!!!!!! they then tell you an hour later (while struggling to breath in a cell) Ohhhh the Doctor has LEFT NOW Realllllyyyyyyyyyy  How is that Humanly Allowable while these scum rule Our streets  BSTRDS |

I'm a respectful kinda guy .. but the Police don't deserve respecting back .. they do a crooked job with contempt !!!!!

The police must act within the law. The youths that they wanted to move on were not committing any offence. They had every right to gather where they did unless one can provide evidence of anti-social behaviour.
It is because of those who accuse the police of being brutal or bent hat they are so tightly constrained in what action they may take. The police would probably love the chance to shift these youths...and it wouldn't take long! But that is not permitted. |

Kicking off? ffs The old guy seen being manhandled by the plastic police was protesting for Sheffield Disabled People Against The Cuts and Barnsley Retirees Action Group. Arrested by British Transport Police for peacefully protesting with other pensioners and disabled people against British Transport cuts. Not hard to work out who the c*nts are here. |
|
By:
Actually probably safer for the bloke to have 5 plod arresting him than just the one.
One police officer would necessarily have to use more force to restrain him if he was acting up and that could have easily caused an injury to either one... and just because he was an OAP doesn't mean he was a weakling. I've seen plenty of over 65s who could do a bit of damage to others. Typical lefty anti-plod hysteria imho. |

By:
You righties don`t like peaceful protests do you Clouseau.
Keep your voice down and obey. Give me the creeps thinking about it. |
|
By:
Our good British bobbies are well trained these days, they are taught to recognise that the most dangerous ones are often the ones that look harmless. Peaceful protestors - especially those posing as OAPs and disabled people - are the ones you must take no chances with.
Personally I would have called up a SWAT team. |
|
By:
The Police officers concerned need disciplining for treating an old man like that.
They acted like Nazis. |
|
By:
Most of the police are useless lumps anyway.
That's about all they're good for - picking on the weak who can't defend themselves. |

Well said Crippen.

not the most edifying comportment by plod
i wonder if the same level of 'restraint' would've been used on a non caucasian 'quarry' also,fair play 2 the woman who kept sticking her oar in had she not been as voviferous & thereby drawing more attention 2 what was going down i'd hazard a guess they would've been a fair bit more 'forceful' good salt of the earth northern lass |

That lady who was telling the BTP to get off him and just talk to him was part of the peaceful protest for Sheffield Disabled People Against The Cuts and Barnsley Retirees Action Group.

Jen Dunstan, of Sheffield Disabled People Against The Cuts, said: "Dozens of elderly and disabled people have been left with bruising. Some have cuts where their skin has broken from being pushed and shoved.

Heavy handed on the oap but the protestors were a pain in the 4rse for the other commuters.

Blimey - he must have been a very sprightly 65 year old if it took five Officers to tackle him!

The right to peaceful protest can always be deemed a pain in the arse by some. Generally the ignorant. |
|
By:
You are obviously ignorant, well ignorant of the facts, as they were refusing to allow people past at times unless they listened to their complaint. Peaceful protest is okay until you start forcing it on others.
BTW try to post without insulting other posters, I know this is difficult for people like you but do try. |
|
By:
"they were refusing to allow people past at times unless they listened to their complaint".... this don't ring true.... imagine trying to catch a train and there is a 65 year old pensioner in yer way mumbling something about ticket prices ... yeah you are going to let him stop yer ? FFS
