The punches seem to be in an effort to get his arm behind his back. I know that the majority if you fellas will say that it is easy to get someones arm, but if they are pissed it ain't.

And all this one on one rubbish, what drugs you lot on? Just imagine the youtube videos now of me going toe to toe with a drug crazed loon, it's not about hard or not, it's about gaining control of the arrested person. Being honest, I am not a hard man, I am a married father of two who likes a peaceful life. I never get involved in trouble when I am not at work, but work dictates that sometimes I must use violence, so I do.

Having said that once or twice I have stripped off my epaulettes and matters have taken their own unique course.

I am not defending these officers, but if some one takes a bite out of my leg I am not just going to say "there there old boy".



BUT I realise I will be a lone voice, and actually should not even be commenting on the video as we now have police officers whose sole job it is to trawl the internet and look for posts such as mine. I can get disciplined for even admitting to being a police officer, I even had to remove my avatar as it was a marked ST220. Strange world we live in.

Rubbing the face is rather girlie mind. Still, if he hadn't come the pratt, nothing would have happened to him. (no, I am not saying he got what he deserved)
