  • Say No To Ban On Photographing Police or they will get away with murder !!

  • Copper jabbed him in the back (0.21) and Mr Tomlinson didn't react. Coppers don't like that, they LOVE to see fear and a reaction when the abuse someone. Therefore, they set upon him with greater force and pushed the poor guy over. What A bunch of thugs.

  • yes it does they are all scum of the earth

  • FUCKING SCUM

  • because some cops are bad  does not give you the right to insult all of them

  • Why was this marked as spam?

    Seriously, is there a copper around here trying to cover up a feasible suggestion? :P

  • All this negative propoganda against the police is not at all helpful.

  • Someone must have his number if you have post it.. we have a right as tax payers to know who he is. He should not be allowed to hide behind his colleagues and the state.

  • i am shocked my what i saw. The police are acting like a bunch of thugs

  • If I mug a pensioner and she dies of a heart attack, brought on by the stress of my assault, am I responsible for her death? Absolutely.

    He was attacked from behind without warning, of course caused his heart attack.This was an act of aggression. If he was in their way they could easily have moved him using non-violent means. What's to stop them picking him up and carrying him away? Then they use their crimes to slander protesters, claiming that they impeded his treatment. Utterly disgraceful.

  • Police recruitment advert:

    Do you want to protect and serve the community? Cut down violence and civil disorder?

    If the answer is yes and you were able to read this notice without assistance you are overqualified.
