    I hope they're removed from the forces and put on trial, that's awful. Some police abuse their position which is sickening.

    Reading about this over last few days Rikky, worst think was in the first instance he was found guilty and ordered to pay compensation to those police officers!!! On appeal rightly paid back.

    I wouldnt say the soldier was fully in the right either, he was drunk by his own admission (TBH after service in Afganistan and Iraq I dont blame him for going on a bender), but there is in detention.... force and excessive force. Sadly this Special Constable part of the police farce is not working while many maybe upstanding officers, many are just taking this badge thing as a way to be above anyone else and use the law to act as they see fit, I dont know the what full training Specials get but feel its no where near to what a REAL Police Officers gets! about time we called time on this part time force.

    Yup totally agree! All the they do is walk around and bug people,the worst case I heard was where a SC was beside pond and a young person was drowning and they wouldn't enter the water to help because they hadn't recieved the training?I mean WTH?

    I'm not sure of the details of the story but a kid ended up drowning.

    Dont get me wrong Rikky, there are likely to be some really decient specials, but too many stories like this are emerging to now take the roll of specials in our communities seriously, I know of two women specials that use the time they have on duty as a shopping experience, always thought and know it was not allowed to shop whilst on duty.

    But back to this case, I just wonder if at these times of night the specials should be backed up with "real" police as I have a feeling they may have come at this with a different approach and defused the situation without this aggression.

    I didn't think specials we're even allowed to make violent arrests like that,as far as I knew they are just supposed to radio the 'real' police to come.

    One of the first things the police are taught is not to lose their temper when a drunken suspect gives them abuse,not to take it personally.

    Guess they missed that training course :-D

    Sadly same powers Rikky which is scary!

    Yo'll get a chuckle from the What's in it for you? and Being a special will change you bits above.


    Only ones I find scary are the MHRA gov body for research and medicines, who have more powers than the police, they do not need warrants to enter and search.

    They might have called for the regular police but they could have been busy pursuing more violen criminals.
