A John Lewis security guard lost his job after video showed him dragging a customer out of a shop by his neck. https://metro.co.uk/2019/08/26/john-lewis-security-guard-drags-new-dad-neck-shops-baby-clothes-10632125/ Even if he was using abusive and threatening language (which he says he wasn't) presumably dragging him out of the store by the neck is a complete no no? Doesn't seem like a proportionate use of force? Plus shouldn't the guard be carrying out a citizen's arrest and retaining him rather than dragging him out of the store if he's done something illegal??? Two sides to every story of course, but this doesn't seem right!

Classic police car was family's "place of refuge" The former owner of a vintage police car has got back behind the wheel of his "beloved" vehicle after 33 years. Brian Gough, 82, paid £50 for a 1951 black Wolseley in 1974, and donated it to South Wales Police's museum in 1986. After moving around museums for 30 years, it went on display at Swansea Bus Museum where Mr Gough climbed into the driver's seat once again. Mr Gough, of Caldicot, Monmouthshire, said: "I have never let it go and tracked it throughout my life." The Wolseley began life as a police radio car in Swansea in the 1950s and later fell into the hands of a man named Fred Page. …
