Grampian Police Brutality.

On Friday 5th of August 2011 an individual was violently assaulted and knocked unconscious. He was bleeding heavily from his mouth, his hand, he had urinated himself and he was making grunting noises, appearing to be choking on his tongue. I was the first responder and was applying first aid and trying to wake him up before the ambulance arrived. The police arrived first, and they were hitting him hard on his face, trying to wake him up. He came to, panicked and this is what they did to him.

I was filming their actions because I believed it to be brutal, heavy handed and a complete mis-use of their power. An officer tried to take my phone and when I raised my arm and moved my phone out of his reach, I was wrestled to the ground, had my face rammed into the concrete, my arms forced behind my back, beaten around the body with their fists, hand-cuffed, picked up by my arms, rushed down the alley with my head forced down and my arms up the air behind me, causing lacerations and bruising to my wrists before being thrown into the van, face down.

This is in Elgin!

[GaryLeeMcKinney]

@Azathespaz6666 Indeed it is. Why do you sound surprised? Elgin is one of the most backward and segregated areas in the UK. The Police think they aren't accountable for their actions and can do whatever they like.

yes take it all the way..to nowhere. Whilst you may have a problem with your local cop, don't tar us all with the same brush. By the way a "public order" offence is something you must have seen watching to many English cop shows. If you speak to someone, using swear words, why shouldn't they reply in the same language. If you stuck a phone in my face, whislt I was working i am sure i wouldn't be happy eithier

@75Deltaforce Who was tarring all police with the same brush? You're being overly sensitive. I actually have respect for the police as they do a hard job, however some are a disgrace to the uniform and tarnish the good work of other officers with their bully boy attitude.

As for sticking a camera in someones face, I was nowhere near them and they had no need to touch me whatsoever. I'm perfectly within my rights to film. It gives them no excuse to put their hands on me.

Also, the IPCC would disagree with your "take it all the way to nowhere" comment. Thanks for antagonising me too. Very professional of you. Lastly, I didn't mention anything about a "public order" offense anywhere. For a copper, you're not very observant are you? Finally, with 14 CCTV cameras in the UK to every 1 citizen, I think you have a nerve to talk about you being filmed, since we're filmed in almost every aspect of our lives by you lot. Hypocritical much?
