Personally I think at the end of the day this has been resolved now. The officer used a police approved technique to stop her restisting, she says it was a fit, the officer says she was drunk.

There's no medical evidence to support her claim of epilepsy and the arrest was lawful (she got convicted of damaging one of the cars outside the club) so I think I have been convinced that it was reasonable force and that the officer shouldn't be facing any charges!

Personally, I hope it's not resolved until the officer has been put on trial in a court of law. Additionally, your logic is flawed. Going on your logic, if I drop an apple core, the police would be within their rights to shoot me.

[yellowlellow07]

if only police could do this legally and more often! all scrouts would be getting lamped.

[EthelCardewsLucozade]

You're entitled to profess your wish to live in an Orwellian Police State if you wish, mercifully at least you have the good sense to realise that, under current law, the actions of the officer are illegal.

First she gets drunk and gets kicked out of a club. Then she vandalizes a car, runs from police who witnessed her crime, then she resists when 4 cops are trying to cuff her.

Why are people trying to make her into some hero? She didn't deserve to get beat up but she doesn't deserve all this bleeding heart sympathy. Drunk people act stupidly, she should suffer the consequnces. lol at her BS "epilectic seizure" story.

How does that permit the police to seriously assault members of the public by hitting them 7 times 'As hard as they could'?

[bertram567]

the cop did what he had to do. at least he didnt shoot him 38 times

2) The two officers accused of assaulting Ms Comer gave full descriptions of their actions and were adamant that they were proportionate, legal and necessary in the situation they faced. There is no evidence to contradict the officers' accounts. Ms Comer had no recorded injuries that could contradict

the accounts of the two officers. Therefore the evidence collated during the investigation did not substantiate

the allegation that the officers used unnecessary force.

IPCC conclude no case

wrong there,the police can arrest on susupicion of you committing a crime and if you fight them you will always lose in the long run so why bother talking tough on the web about fighting battles you can't win.

[patrickshoes]

"wrong"

What the hell does that mean?

Explain!

[patrickshoes]

I totally agree.

Apperently she has done this before, and if he wasn;t trying to evade arrest he wouldnt have had to give her a "dead arm".

[patrickshoes]

I would have beaten her, with my wet fish!

You should add, "In an ideal world" - or - "In a world where there is no corruption" - or - "In a world where the police don't delete or refuse to show incriminating camera footage if it can be helped". Unfortunately corruption in our legal system is now endemic and wide-spread from judges to solicitors to police, to doctors, you cannot always trust that what SHOULD happen, necessarily DOES happen.

[Twatatouille]

Well here's a news flash, until I've committed a crime, I don't have to talk to you or obey you or even give you the time of day and if you o much as touch me, I will respond as violently as I possibly can ecause you have never lifted a finger to help me or anyone I've known in all my life and I'm 36 and have lived in many parts of southern England. You have no credibility left anymore and haven't done for some time now - why should anyone respect you or listen to you?

Something that police supporters need to understand is that police are there to enforce the law, not to mete out judgment and/or punishment. This is so very clearly not a case of 'restraint', she was restrained and clearly in custody, the eating was gratuitious and totally uncalled for. I'm white and I fear the police and their power-hungry, childish condescension whenever they address a member of the public.
