Just witnessed a member of the general public go toe to toe with 6+ police officers after coming to the aid of disabled addict who had just been manhandled,for his efforts this concerned member of the public was taken to the ground and had his head slammed deliberately & forcefully on the pavement where he lay pinned by 6 officers for 10 minutes while they awaited more back up which consisted of 3 cars and 2 vans....what's the world coming too?

Its a sad day when police cant do their job without some "concerned" member of public feeling the need to get involved...

"Sounds to me like a bit of a one sided story"
one sided? Do you mean to imply that im anti-police? Lol I only stated my observations considering I work in a professional capacity with the general public & with the police whereby I've trained police,I wish I had recorded the incident so that people wouldnt be quick to make the negative assumption of what was witnessed by many as to be an excessive use of force and manpower...I left out the part where a heavily pregnant woman was pushed in the process by one of the officers,the police are there to provide a service to the general public and without them it would be chaos but wearing a uniform doesn't give you a free license to take liberties with the public ..granted the fella shouldn't have gotten involved as no one else did,but where do you draw the line? 3 police cars,2 police vans,12 officers to arrest 1 man whilst blocking a busy public road for in excess of 20 minutes...im rather impartial to the events of the incident but it's interesting to consider the implications of my observations,all that glitters is not gold im all for peace and unity and everyone living together as one...however idealistic that may sound,I don't favour violence or authority im sorry to say as I've seen an ample misuse of it in my life...where is the love people? That's all im saying

It is sad that it's come to this, especially since we need more police doing better work, but it hasn't just popped up from nowhere.

Labour began initiating a big brother state quite a while ago, more powers to the police, dna tagging for kids, identity cards, CCTV everywhere, but the hidden side was the removal of what they thought were certain barriers to justice.

The powers they gave the police were in my opinion a good thing, but as my other half points out, it is never a good thing to take away someones human rights, even if you do suspect them of carrying drugs/knives etc. As Martin Niemöller said :

First they came for the communists,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the socialists,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Catholic.

Then they came for me,

and there was no one left to speak for me.

I'm trying to get a few points across, but the one that bugs me is that they gave the police these powers, but tied them up in so much red tape and procedure that it's laughable. What you had there is a possible violent situation with multiple suspects. Thats all that would have been said, then the procedure book will have told them to send out all those people, otherwise they might get sued for negligence and not following proper procedure. The head banging is just a nasty arse cop who needs his arse kicked by a superior. He wont get away with it for long.

"sorry, long ass post again "
thanks for taking the time to post such a indepth and insightful response,I think the police are somewhat vital to keep order but not when they act with immunity...I think the situation today saw one or two of them under pressure and for whatever reason they chose to elevate rather than pacify the situation which wasn't a good look seeing as there were so many people watching,it certainly doesn't instill in the public a trust in the police force when such compulsive acts of violence are openly perpetrated in the presence of a great number of their colleagues ...I would say it instills fear in the public...I've lived in 3rd world countries where I've seen a rampant abuse of the uniform which has lead to unbelievable corruption the likes of which I wouldnt dare speak of here,what it leads to is more violent criminals and vigilantism...it's a vicious cycle...violence is a very very last resort not a first resort,had I not seen a disabled addict manhandled unnecessarily,a heavily pregnant woman pushed and 12 police physically lift a cuffed and prone suspect and literally toss him head first into the van...well if I hadn't seen any of the above then I wouldnt have been moved to share my concerns on here...but like I said where do we draw the line,it's a crime in itself when we stand by and allow for such things to happen to others as we're next in line if we don't do something

As a retired night club doorman I have removed people singlehanded from a club only to hand him over to same scene explained above.

I have also handed over to one PC accompanied by a WPC.

Imagine above scenario, and this was NYC or South Central LA one member if general public goes to assist local police and same police shoot him dead.

What would you prefer??

The Police have a tremendously difficult job to do and the last thing that is needed is some muppet intervening to assist in the potential escape of a criminal or to get in the way of the officers conducting a lawful arrest.

Just imagine if all the Police Officers in Britain were to take just one day off? Who would you call then to deal with the scum of the universe? The Ghostbusters?????

What would you prefer?? Having lived in nyc and l.a I would much rather be here in Scotland,hence why im here and not there... I've actually seen a policeman shoot another policeman (abroad) so id rather any place that was alot less violent and extreme than some of the places I've lived...which is why it concerns me to see this level of unnecessary violence used by the powers that be because the last thing I want is to see this lovely city of Edinburgh end up as wild and lawless as where im from ...something had to be said..

I fully appreciate the "difficult" job that the police are faced with,I've said as much above..but that doesn't excuse the excessive use of force...the manhandeling of a disabled pensioner who was pushed and almost fell into oncoming traffic and the heavily pregnant woman who was roughly pushed aswell,I think that is what the member of public felt so strongly about that he was willing to have himself arrested.... Would you allow your grandfather/pregnant wife/gf/sister friend to be treated in this manner simply because the person was wearing a uniform and doing their job? I've worked with and trained the police and nowhere Rudi encounter any protocol that allowed for what I saw last night... So yes at this stage id rather call the Ghostbusters ...

good point! The guy they were all sitting on last night had his face slammed into the pavement and he was out cold when they literally threw him head first into a police van 20 minutes later....it's not that im critical of the police as much as im concerned with the handling of the situation

They wouldnt need to arrive in force if people didnt "kick off"....the fact that soo many do is why the cops dont take chances ...if they pussyfoot about and something happens then they are at fault for not doing enuff to stop it...poor cops are in a lose lose no matter what they do......they will always have my full support

again every situation on its merits and without knowing the facts behind the arrest I dont see how people can be critical...its possible this was a known violent offender ...or seen to be with his actions ...if either then good on the cops I say

But isn't speeding illegal?? Doesn't speeding kill?? Maybe these drivers should slow down to the proper speed limit and then they wouldn't get pulled over for BREAKING THE LAW!

Society will always chastise the police. They will always "get it wrong" be "too heavy handed" and then during the riots last year the police where apparently not robust enough.

There is far too much beurocracy and politics behind policing in today's world. Too man "do gooders"! People rant and rave about criminals human rights so where does the victims rights come into that?????

I know may cops, firefighters, paramedics, nurses and doctors who work 24/7 365 putting themselves in harms way to look after those who may not appreciate exactly what they do and they always step up to the plate when required.

Yes I agree Police Scotland isn't perfect however I've always said that the police force is purely a reflection of society.

The perils of commenting in a forum, not done for speeding, learnt my lesson years ago and indeed... man'd up.

7am on a sunday morning..not another car on the road (dual carriageway) apart from a mobile speed camera, drivers clicked 5mph over limit. 3points on licence and £60 fine...think it goes on the police records as crime solved.

are you saying that you support the use of heavy handed policing against disabled pensioners & pregnant women? coz what im saying is im not,violence begets violence...it's alright to bury your head in the sand until it happens to you or yours then it's a different story id wager

I can't see anywhere in this thread where it's been hijacked. All the posts have either supported your view or haven't and likewise I can't really see cynicism apart from those opposing the view that the police do a good job and of course you think your view is right so why criticise others who think theirs is?

lol you probably missed the part where I stated that I've worked with & trained the police & that Im not criticising the force on a whole..I was simply stating my observations of a mismanagement of a situation that I witnessed from start to finish during a 30 minute time frame as it was escalated by the heavyhanded approach of an irate young officer,how you managed to take that to mean that im some sort of police hating so and so I've no idea, all im really saying here in this post is where do we draw the line on what's acceptable in an alleged "civilised" society? How we treat the weakest of our society defines us as a whole and having travelled and lived all over the world in 3rd world countries where I've witnessed some extreme policing ..well I think I wouldnt like to see things go to those extremes here and we as a people shouldn't stand by silently whilst those who we entrust our safety too take liberties with that authority that we grant them,as with any organisation there are always a minority who don't act in accordance with the mission statement protocol and this reflects badly on everyone else within that organisation so who's responsibility is it really to do/say something about it if not them? Us perhaps? Im all for peace and unity but im too much of an idealist as the reality is that there are those who like antagonism,violence,corruption,power,abuse etc.

Having recent personal experience with a police officer abusing his position, I can completely agree with the OP.

I can also say that the police that don't abuse their position are very useful within today's society.

Last year, my cousin and I made a sale through our business and the purchasers were a husband and wife (both police officers) buying for their daughter. A year on and we got a phone call from the girl's father screaming down the phone at my cousin accusing her of sending abusive messages to his daughter. At no point did my cousin do what she was accused of. The father made it clear that he was a police officer and would ruin the name of our business.

Long story short, a complaint was made for a man in his 50's intimidating a 21 yr old and threatening her business. What did the police do? Swept it under the carpet.

Also, they feel the need to pull me over at every opportunity they get. I have been pulled over no less than 20 times in the past month for a "routine check" and a few of these officers asking me to breathe on them for an unofficial breath test.

I'd rather they just breathalysed me.

So weird to find a topic like this on here!

I suppose it is wrong that some Police Officers give the rest of the hard working guys a bad name. I suppose we don't know what the guy did- but still I think its a bit over the top!

Now if it were 6 police officers against me?! I don't know if I would complain! xx

Today, I seen a monkey hump an elephant, whilst doing a handstand on a unicycle, listening to justin beibers 'baby baby'

Was so romantic

I hope that didn't come accross biased or one sided

Thanks to the op for sharing what he witnessed! I've known the op for many years so I think ill go against the grain on this one and take his word for it and trust that what he saw to be how it was. I don't need to hear anyone else's version.

I have witnessed and been subjected to some pretty poor policing, some police officers abusing their authority and using excessive force and intimidation unnecessarily....even if your not a criminal some of them still think it's ok to treat you like one with complete disregard to you as a human being...so for this reason I am away to join the police force..battering oaps and pregnant women and people still telling you you done a good job sounds much more exciting than my thankless job. Can't beat em join em I say

only just seen so wont really go in depth..

Most people nowadays are basically not won over by hierarchical members of our society, we see them as normal people at the end of the day, albeit in a different social position.

so from what I've learned is doctors,armed forces,police and celebrities,are supposed to be respected as pillars of the community/society

unfortunately this makes a few of them become quite arrogant and self serving..and sorry if ur a fan of shows like 'cops' etc etc, surely some people have witnessed both physical and verbal agitators used by the police..

in what Ive been trained it was supposedly about de-escalation..I rarely see any of that in the 'cops' shows..and very very little use for empathy given the nature of some of the incidents.

basically what I'm saying is there is a minority of power-manipulators, however they are now pretty much subject to public judgement before being tried in a court of law(power of the internet eh!)its time they also reciprocated what it means to be a 'public' servant by speaking to who they serve in respectful manners.Its actually no wonder why some people are actually live filming any incidents, and most of the time its pretty doubtful as they record they are actually ever charged for whatever they have been stopped/searched/inspected for...

anyone ever been refused info on a badge and name from a police officer, with a view to make a complaint?- its a law I believe flouted quite commonly, unless an arrest has been made.

"Just witnessed a member of the general public go toe to toe with 6+ police officers after coming to the aid of disabled addict?"

They should have left the poor chap alone.

And chucked the 'addict' in the clyde.

Just my opinion.

I'll get me coat...........

I have to confess the whole disabled addict bit gets me. Throwing them in the clyde is a good idea but cruelty to the fish!

Where I come from going toe to toe with a Police Officer for any reason is going to get a response - most probably the kind described.

Personally it didn't do me any harm to get a kick up the backside when I was caught getting into trouble by our local PC. I don't condone violence, but when there are no real consequences for bad behaviour then it becomes acceptable.

A poor disabled addict? Sorry - but you reap what you sow

"Sounds to me like a bit of a one sided story one sided? Do you mean to imply that im anti-police? Lol I only stated my observations considering I work in a professional capacity with the general public & with the police whereby I've trained police,I wish I had recorded the incident so that people wouldnt be quick to make the negative assumption of what was witnessed by many as to be an excessive use of force and manpower...I left out the part where a heavily pregnant woman was pushed in the process by one of the officers,the police are there to provide a service to the general public and without them it would be chaos but wearing a uniform doesn't give you a free license to take liberties with the public ..granted the fella shouldn't have gotten involved as no one else did,but where do you draw the line? 3 police cars,2 police vans,12 officers to arrest 1 man whilst blocking a busy public road for in excess of 20 minutes...im rather impartial to the events of the incident but it's interesting to consider the implications of my observations,all that glitters is not gold im all for peace and unity and everyone living together as one...however idealistic that may sound,I don't favour violence or authority im sorry to say as I've seen an ample misuse of it in my life...where is the love people? That's all im saying"

30 years ago it would have been one police man and a swift tap on the geezers noggin. Not saying that it was a better time, just simpler.
