A teenage girl who was having an epileptic fit.

Sure, it can't be fun trying to restrain a drunk, aggressive young girl. But you don't punch the crap out of them.

FYI my son's been assaulted by the police 3 times. He's 5'6 and half Asian. He gets lippy, but has never been violent. Face it - if you're a thug and want to carry on being a thug when you leave school, you become a career criminal or join the police.

I don't think they were assaulting her, just trying to arrest her.

Have you ever seen someone get beaten the crap out of? I assure you, that video wasn't showing anything of the sort.

Even if I took your word for it, I don't know what being half Asian has to do with it. Isn't assault also bad whatever colour the victim is?

I was only a young lad, but remember the miners riots, the football riots and the poll tax riots. Mainly white working class people having the shit kicked out of them. Sometimes to death.

With the girl and your son, you've brought race into it both times. It's as if you want there to be a racist agenda onto top of police heavy-handedness. It's like you're looking -wanting- for something to be there that probably isn't.

Just for the purposes of science - next time you see a 5'6, slim teenage girl, try wrestling her to the ground and see how much force you need. Then report back here.

That's true. The police used to deliberately target football fans during the "hooliganism" phase, just because they could. What they did to the miners was a national disgrace (12 dead I think). But those were people targeted for who they were. You must know that the police target non-whites disproportionately - every survey since year dot says so.

Put it this way - I've been threatened once by the police, never assaulted. I'm white. My son's been assaulted 3 times. A black friend of mine had his cousin murdered by the police (no charges of course).

Statistically, black and Asian people are far more likely to get picked on by the police, that's a straight fact.

You seriously think I'd need to call 3 of my mates to help out? I'm not that soft.

What are you Rambo or something? Think you'll be very surprised at what strength anybody has under that circumstance.
