Couple charged with assault for trying to buy water in Rochdale Tesco

[CurlyWurlyTwirly]

Obviously don’t know the full facts, but the photos
Show the police being pretty heavy handed.

They look Muslim, so presume don’t drink alcohol, they have regularly buy the water from other branches of Tesco.
This behaviour by the police looks like the sort of treatment meted out by racist officers towards African Americans in the US.

I am disgusted by the thuggish behaviour of the police and I hope Mr. Hussain succeeds in his complaint to the PCC.

Ignoring the odd level of importance you've ascribed to various situations, as has been pointed out previously in this thread, the police officer is required to intervene when called.

Yes and just because the water guy called the cop over means nothing,the cop should've said "this is nothing to do with me" and walked away

How thick are you?
When you did your GCSE at school did you score in the negatives?
When you went raving as a teen were you the one doing 'F' in the toilets?
Do you keep getting fired for trying to use tipex on emails?
Are you banned from having lunch breaks cause your boss has to retrain you after?

If the cop had walked away and the man turned violent and threw bottles etc... How much shit would you be giving that cop right now? He'd be in serious trouble and the media would be calling him all sorts.

Please do get someone to read these posts out to you slowly.

Anyone got any good recipes?

Get this thread filled up so morons can't keep bumping it with dumbass posts.

*Awesome,now when i have a parking dispute on the street i shall call the police and expect them to do something about it

I shall also call them when my daughter wont eat her dinner*

That's what's called a false equivalency, 1nightwith

That equivalence is still false, 1nightwith

False equivalence is providing a cop to deal with Tesco in house rules

I don't think you understand what a false equivalence is.

I am starting to think that it might have something to do with the mans skin colour?

Do you have anything to substantiate that?

The cop should have walked away and if a crime had been committed then he should have returned

Before he could walk away an actual crime was committed.

actual equivalence

No, it's not. If you're calling the police, that means they aren't already there as they were in Tesco, which means the two situations are different, and therefore not equivalent.

The cop should have walked away and if a crime had been committed then he should have returned

That's not how it works, which I'm sure you're aware of.

Only circumstantial,you dont see the connection between lots of police dealing with water guy and no police dealing with violent bike thieves that are so confident that they commit their crime in broad daylight in front of hundreds of witnesses

No, there is no self-evident link between the two events. Would you care to establish one?

I'm sure an officer will correct me.if I'm wrong but I believe one of a police officers.main jobs is keeping the peace and stopping crime before it happens.
They accomplish this via communication and presence.

The officer would have failed this duty if he'd just wandered away and would have likely opened himself up to being sued had someone got hurt.

My point is made

That you lack intelligence?
Yes it is..

My point is made

Thanks to some very judicious editing of the released video footage we don't really see what happened.

He was asked to leave the store and he wouldn't. At that point, as a citizen, I'm very happy to see the police involved.

The fact that the man refuses to comply with the police and then seems to resist arrest says to me that he deserves to be arrested.

Nothing to do with skin colour, race, religion. He needs to learn how to behave like a grown up and not a 2 year old being told that they can't have something.

Oh look, we've had another one - or more likely the same one with a name change

I didn't think you could re-register using the same ISP once you'd been banned?

There are always ways round that.

they tried to buy a trolley of all the Volvo on offer for 50p. They were told they could have 20 bottles each. They kicked off refusing to accept the limit and began intimidating staff (who were also asian). They were asked by security to stop filming and to leave the premises and refused. The disruptive and rude man called the police over who were in the store attending to another matter. They also told him to stop filming and to leave the store. They kept refusing and after he tried to block being moved out by grabbing the wall the officer tried to get him in a headlock. His wife was also restrained because she was also now acting out and screaming stop hitting me whilst no officers were. The couple run a business that sells goods onto other businesses and they couldn't and wouldn't accept that the store decided to limit them from buying up all the water (to sell at an inflated price) as it the supermarkets right to do. They behaved disgustingly.
