Those Range Rover side windows can be tough The in-car footage shows Sept 2009 so this may have been discussed before, but it's on todays Telegraph webpage. Perhaps the testerone was racing through the veins of the officers involved in this lengthy 8 mile low speed chase through leafy country lanes and this caused them to be a teensy weensy bit aggresive? A slightly over the top method of apprehension being demonstrated here methinks all the same... Whatever got these boys so excited though that they thought bouncing up and down on the bonnet like a baboon was appropriate action? Or that demonstrating the inefficiencies of the truncheon at smashing side windows in publ…

http://www.newsandst...ferrerPath=homewhat a brilliant job the police inspector done to arrest this man even when he saw the man with a hand gun even if it was a fake well done to that officer:aok:

In my opinion this type of crime deserves as tough a sentence as if it was a human they beat to death. Murder is murder in my eyes. If you actively seek out an unarmed animal and beat it to death with a cricket bat, surely it's not long before a person gets on your wrong side and you take a bat to them. "we beat the s*** out of him", yes it really does sound like you were just trying to help you're community and not just fuelling your blood lust. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23862873-bloodthirsty-masked-gang-beat-fox-to-death-in-facebook-video.do
