  • he was resisting arrest. therefore the seriousness

  • "The UK has not adopted legislation that forbids jay-walking, and no research has been found on the impact these laws have on pedestrian casualty rates."

    In: Factors Influencing Pedestrian Safety: A Literature Review

  • 'I put a girdle about the earth in 40 minutes"... 4 years on, we can see how absurd this APEC circus was, and how easily conned our State government was by erecting a fence around the CBD and employing 500 additional cops to make Bush safe. He should have stayed on his ranch. Iemma paid $1.5 million for a water cannon to hose any protester who got a little too close. I suppose they hose Hyde park with it now. It didn't happen did it? No. I must have been dreaming. Ah, Titania, At it again!

  • This was not a violent arrest. They had a large number of officers so that he was arrested in a controlled way. Don't know the usual procedure is down under but I'm sure is not an automatic arrest.... Maybe he could have just been civil to the officer and accepted a fine. So what he was arrested in front of his son. That's his bad. Should have done everything he could to avoid it happening. Take responsibility for your actions an set an example to your kids i say.

  • it takes 5 cops to arrest an old guy for J walking, real pathetic. I had cops hasseling me out and threatening my infant children and i put in a complaint, now when the cops check out my name through radio they let me go straight away haha its probably on the system.

  • The best cops are the dead ones.

  • instead of getting Jaywalkers off out streets they should be getting the pedophiles, murderers and rapists off the streets.

    Take action on something that actually matters. Bacon

  • Pigs are wankers what about his poor 11 year old son who had to stand there and watch that... Pigs are just wankers who were bullied in school and are now getting there own back

  • Yep cops are dogs when they want to be

  • He got Paid out for that. What a joke. He breaks the restricted area, resists

    police, gets arrested, then gets paid out.
