You can see them every day on tv!I wonder how many vids are doing the rounds of the police doing good deeds?
Helping people in the difficult weather and conditions, comforting accident victims, etc.
My stock response- hooray another anti police thread.
Yes, done to death already here.:sleep:

So, we should just ignore all these minor examples of poor behaviour then?
Pretend they don't happen much, sweep them under the carpet and calmly carry on? Don't complain, don't make a fuss, follow the crowd in blind tradition? ...just as long as yous all pay the bills to ensure the housing market doesn't go flip-side.
No one in particular above guys, Just joining in with, 'Yeh whoopie, tar brushing time'
A general question, but just out of interest what are you suggesting as being wrong?

no body cares because that's the job they are supposed to do. seeing the police act like the video above is newsworthy.
the situation clearly went from "have you had a drink", to "you've had a drink haven't you" to "he's just told me he's had two drinks"... now, I know some people here are well and truly on the police's side but you have to be a total idiot to think that's acceptable - context/agenda irrelevant.
If a policeman treated me like that I'd be absolutely livid, but I suspect that's what they're banking on.
Context is irrelevant and agenda or no agenda I highly doubt the clip has been carefully doctored to make the policeman "look bad". As for "making it look worse than it was" - it's not rocket science, the situation clearly went from "have you had a drink", to "you've had a drink haven't you" to "he's just told me he's had two drinks"... now, I know some people here are well and truly on the police's side but you have to be a total idiot to think that's acceptable - context/agenda irrelevant.

Yes that's what struck me the most, and for anyone to say the video has been doctored I would suggest they haven't watched it, it's a clear example of a copper trying to fit someone up, it's as plain as the nose on your face, another terrible example of power going to someone's head, if he is not instantly dismissed for gross misconduct it's a travesty of justice, I'm not for one minute suggesting all police are like this, as I know most do a great job, but it really is about time the ones who are, are made an example of, and thrown out on their ear
Its impossible to tell the context from that clip - and liveleak have an anti police agenda so I'd not be surprised if they made it look worse than it was.
That said even taken at face value its hardly Rodney king - Mountains and Molehills spring to mind as well as storms and teacups

Case collapsed when it went to court. Police officer involved should be fired and charged.

The cps brought the charge to court and then provided no evidence. So I'd suggest they responded to an officers accusation of a crime and then realised after looking at the evidence that he was lying, so therefore they could provide no evidence to convict so the charge had to be dropped.
Bernie174, if you watched the video you will have seen and heard the policeman quite blatantly lying about the fella drinking.
Why do you not condemn him for doing so?
