Police Constable 1 + 2,071 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Two short clips I've just come across of the same incident: Which incident? has this been discussed before? I guess threatening to punch someone worked but drawing a baton might have looked abit better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ1 3 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Which incident? has this been discussed before? I don't know if it has, I just came across the videos on youtube. What I meant is that the two clips are of the same incident. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensonby + 3,503 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Is it just me or do those female PCs in those videos lack any kind of presence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Police Constable 1 + 2,071 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Is it just me or do those female PCs in those videos lack any kind of presence? The same can be said for any officer in that kind of situation, however the last part showing the blonde haired woman just letting people walk passed her does make her look "weak" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millfield 12 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Which incident? has this been discussed before? I guess threatening to punch someone worked but drawing a baton might have looked abit better Or as happened in my area recently, 2 officers vs a large brawl, marinade everyone with CS, it worked a treat.

AnthonyB + 451 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It looked like they had all left their batons in their lockers, I know it's armchair critique, but I can't see why racking out would not have been appropriate. I must agree if it weren't for the older Sergeant putting his dukes up the police intervention would have really intervened at all..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerseyLLB 8,426 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Insufficient number of cops for a decent line of batons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soap + 1,575 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Would this be a situation when the fabled CS/PAVA typhoon spin would be proportionate? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimjam651 32 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 What was the male police officer doing, embarrassing . Looked to me like he quite quickly and effectively broke up three seperate fights, not sure I'd describe his actions as embarrassing at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB + 451 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 To be fair if you look at archive film of British Police breaking up riots and fights prior to the 80's there is a fair amount of pulls, pushes, punches and kicks used rather than getting the 'peg' out....

Scot 703 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Looked to me like he quite quickly and effectively broke up three seperate fights, not sure I'd describe his actions as embarrassing at all. Our opinions differ then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
