Channel 4 - To Catch A Copper

[NameChangeAsICouldBeOverReacting]

Thoughts?

I was luckily able to watch this during work due to my job and it absolutely SHOCKED me to my core and really affected me.

I'm going to watch it on catch up, but the trailer looked shocking

Just watched the scene with the young woman with MH issues - devastating 😢. She must have been utterly terrified 😢.

I just had to google in the first ad break because I thought that first video must have been a staged training video. I couldn’t believe that was real. This is terrifying.

Absolutely horrified but not unexpected.

I know! I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes and refused to believe this was real.

It’s truly eye opening and I hope it sparks conversation to make positive changes.

And now it’s got even worse 😩

This guy pretending he’s been sexually assaulted is an unbelievable piece of work 🤬

Bloody hell, this is just awful.
The poor woman with MH needed a bit of compassion, 136 I think it is to detain her for her own safety and someone listening to her. Bloody disgraceful.

And it’s getting grimmer. A single male officer offering to take a drunk female alone in his car? No genuine man would.

I want to stop watching as its tramatising but I need to know the coppers get done for it. Feel sick

This is how I felt when I watched it all. Rewatching it now and given me goosebumps from the shock!

i couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Just heartbreaking and I have had to turn it off 😞

And it goes on everywhere. Yes loads of good coppers but WAY too many like this. Thank fuck whoever discovered the footage reported it.

I’ll just say, a friend was arrested (136 I think is the part of the mental health act. She was in crisis) The officers were lovely, treated her very gently and talked quietly all the way through. There was cctv of the police station and again she was treated kindly and gently. So not all coppers are sadistic bastards like these.

I'm also watching it, .I really don't have anything to add but it's horrific!

Deeply shocking. Please tell me those officers were dismissed at the very least? Sadistic bastards.

Please tell me the officers were sacked and preferably jailed. I want to turn it off as triggering me but I need to know there's some justice

Watching at the moment. It’s horrific.

What is terrifying is ALL these officers know they’re being filmed!

it's the arrogance of them do they not remember they are wearing cameras or do they think they are justified and don't care?

I can’t fathom it - it’s incredible. I guess they know the prosecution levels for abusive officers is so low it’s worth the risk 🤷‍♀️

@Mrsjayy this is what I think, this is happening on camera and they know. Makes you wonder what happens off camera.

This guy is an absolute chancer 🤬

This all awful and uncomfortable to watch!

Sargent PTSD ?

I don't think they care either way.
