Our brave police force. 5 coppers take an old aged pensioner down in Sheffield.

I thought they took an oath to serve and protect? I must have got that wrong

you're thinking of the LAPD slippy, and they're even benter 

hope it wer'nt kenny on day trip

There were no cats injured so it can't have been kenny mann, just some old boy being brutalised by the police. Words fail me.

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.

they can't even arrest a teenager on this Police under pressure show BBC2 now , absoulute Hypocrites !!

the teenager threatens to smash her face in & they just blab on 'ok move on now ... I've asked you Nicely already'


then when it escalates they spend half a Million quid on an EDL Protest march .. they should ALL be Sacked .. the army would do a better job !

they can't even arrest a teenager on this Police under pressure show BBC2 now

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

go back to the days of all coppers being 6 foot and beefy

the modern lot over react and panic

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 !!!

can't do this because of section 30 .. blah fkn blahh


bring on West Midlands Police

KABBOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

just be careful you don't get charged with a Police Assault ...

I'M SURE THIS PROGRAMME IS A SET UP FOR COMPLETE DOCILES TO WATCH

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

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

they let white guys just die in our cells

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.

This guy was obviously kicking of before this video started recording to be restrained by the plastic coppers.

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.

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.

You righties don`t like peaceful protests do you Clouseau.

Keep your voice down and obey. Give me the creeps thinking about it.

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.

The Police officers concerned need disciplining for treating an old man like that.

They acted like Nazis.

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.

Our Brave New World. How well we have done.

Aldous Huxley was very precognitive..

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!

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

The right to peaceful protest can always be deemed a pain in the arse by some. Generally the ignorant.

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.

"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

@irishone There were loads of protestors and the fact that they were mainly old meant that people could not merely push them out of the way. I'm only passing on what happened to someone I know and who got embroiled in that. They also witnessed the 5 cops manhandling the oap.

I think it is somewhat ironic that you state "Peaceful protest is okay until you start forcing it on others" ......... mmmmmmmmmmmmm ..... so it is o k to write numerous letters of complaint that get ignored, numerous phone calls that don't get answered , but when you become active by using chanting or  a shouting force or act as an impedement to make people take note ...... the police will come in with a much bigger force to shut you up  ?    Basically the use of force by human beings on other human beings is against human rights isn't it ?

Sorry but I can't follow your logic in relationship to my posts. I was not defending the action the police took.

Aka  ... surely not a breakdown in communication L O L ?  .... the logic is very simple ... if you don't listen and try to think about or understand what people are saying .....  you usually end up coming off worse.

Ah well by your logic the oap couldn't have listened to the police.

Didn't see much police action when the Tottenham riots kicked off and spread over London a few years ago.

ACAB, fact, that is all. . .

your respect for the u k police aka appears to be somewhat ill founded

Your lack of ability for reading and understanding posts is somewhat sad.
I'll spell it out for you:

1 The police were heavy handed and out of order for the way they dealt with the oap.
2 The protestors were a pain in the 4rse to the other commuters.

Two different arguments, I sincerely hope you have managed to comprehend

I think the Police are no different to other tax funded bodies...

I often wonder whether we get value for money from the police, schools, nhs, fire service.  Etc

BTW try to post without insulting other posters, I know this is difficult for people like you but do try.


Where is the insult? You seem to be struggling on this thread aka! Being called ignorant is not an insult, unless of course you do not understand what the word ignorant means.

But that would be ignorant.

Anyone had recent dealings with the Police?

I have and was left bewildered by the Sheffield CID`s attitude about an assult on a young lady. I was more or less told
it was nothing and to forget it and carry on.

Weak as p1ss

I have Shane, and i live in Sheffield same as you pal. It seems that if thieves/vandals smash their way into you property and rob you,the first question from the police seems to be `are you insured..?`

If the answer is yes, then they won`t waste resources or their own time in chasing it up..they don`t want to know.

I`ve emailed the TV producers and instructed them not to show any more of that tripe they showed the other night.

Show the City in a more positive light like the hype Cities.

They are wanting to film on a street in Woodthorpe for the next Benefit scrounger bashing programme. They should be told to feck off. Every time the City is on TV it`s shown in a poor light.

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.


Sorry i stopped reading right there , there is no Law

Yeh right !

three lots you cant trust ..... politicians, estate agents and the police

and nigerians

The guy was lucky he didn't end up in the station, or he could have joined the 1487 other people who have died in police custody or after contact with the Police since 1990.

I'll leave you to look up how many of those people had their deaths followed up by a successful prosecution of the Police officers involved. But I'll give you a clue, it's a nice round number.

Moonbeam.The law I refer to is something to do with you can't just beat people up for no reason. Even if you're a copper. Hence the bit about 'within the law'.

so they broke it then

Just because you've never been beaten up by them Naydam , i don't think you quite realize what goes on in the real world , so please put your text book away !!

I think you will find that I was commenting on why the police were not able to 'move on' a gang of youths.
They did hat they could and asked them politely to move. The kids refused. The officers had no powers of arrest so they acted within the constraints of the law.
If they had beaten up one or two of them, some people would have accused them of police brutality.
