Anything that crops up on here appertaining to the police I will inevitably post on .
I understand that a goodly proportion of fans on here have had probs in the past and Ive done my best not to take sides on the issue by taking only the police side of the argument .
I KNOW for a fact there are bad apples in the barrel as in all walks of life but in police work they need to be weeded out immediately so as to minimise the serious damage they cause not only in respect of individuals wrongly accused but the trustworthiness, spirit of good will and CONFIDENCE members of the public need and expect of the police .
I took the view on the incident on this thread, that the officer lost total control and could face a criminal charge of GBH which CAN carry a prison sentence even on first conviction if found guilty . The full extent of the circumstances involved would have to be laid bare before deciding what action the discipline and complaints department would take .
Finally .... Im aware that Im already blackballed on here for previous outbursts by self imposed anti establishment posters on here but , my credentials on here are that I have been a SCFC SUPPORTER since I was 7 years old in1950 when my dad took my brother and me to EP .
My previous life in the police will NEVER get a mention on here unless I feel its important for me to draw back on my experience in working for the Police Force when I was proud to be of service for the general public wherever I was posted
Some were dangerously difficult to work in, others a pleasure to simply be of service to the community at large
