Fan set to sue the Police (5 Viewers)

[LastGarrison]

Cloughie do you really think the officer started his duty for the day and thought I know I'm going to cause problems today so I'm not going to put my numbers on. Come on mate lets get real the officer made a mistake and put his fluorescent jacket on without his numbers displayed fact.
He was approached by mr Winn who had an issue with a police officer not displaying his collar number fact.
The said officer and his supervisor tried to calm the situation down and explain the reason fact.
Mr Winn was not happy with this and continued to be abusive and disorderly as shown on the CCTV.
Contrary to some people's belief police officers don't go out looking for a fight they know full we'll that the Ricoh is covered in CCTV. in every line of work there are people better than others at the job and people act in different ways but mr Winn clearly has an issue with police officers to get involved like he did and due to his actions the whole situation escalated thanks to thugs.

Next time your in trouble or you need help guess who you will call. It won't be mr Winn it will a police officer who is only doing his job like you and me and without them like it or not this country would be in an even worse mess than it is now.
If you think police officers in this country are heavy handed try living in Germany or Italy then you will realise that our police force is as good as it gets unless you don't like a law abiding society which unfortunatley mr Winn and the like don't

Not every police officer is perfect and there are good and bad just like every other job but if you think you can do a better job give it a try and let's see how you take being sworn at and abused and then expected to act in a professional and restrained manner.

You are naive beyond belief.

It was all the bad guys fault and the good guy just made a silly mistake.

Surely as a police officer he knew that this game had potential to be volatile so you would ensure that you had the correct equipment and uniform on no? Bit too convenient that he just forgot hey? Bit like those Old Bill at our last game at Villa who were caught on camera beating the fuck out of that fan on the floor with their truncheons but funnily enough they didn't have numbers on either so couldn't be identified and oddly enough none of their colleagues could identify them from the piftures.

Contary to popular belief some police officer DO go looking for trouble and the football is a perfect place for it as basically, as a fan, all of our human rights go out the window.

Don quote Either way he should have been wearing his numbers. He is going to be disciplined for that.

(Yes he will be and he should he made a mistake not wearing his badge numbers. As I have agreed all along. )

You must be the only person to know that 'fact'

(That was the evidence given at court as reported in the eving telegraph at the time. So I am surprised I am the only one privy to it. )

WS quoteThis fella had already shown signs of drink and was obviously hyped up , according to evidence given he hadn't had any drink,
so Rubbish


(So you are aware of the evidence given at court?)

Torch quote Basically the bloke got off on a technicality ,are you serious or are you on about the officer who made the assault

(He was found guilty by three magistrates, the appeal was dropped w do not know why. The CPS should reveal this)

As for police not wearing their id numbers it is well documented that police have previously and consistantly done this in volotile situations where they have been proven to act violently and against the law, so they can not be identified( not at the Ricoh)

(I take it you stereotype every situation on well if it has happened before it must be the case this time. Officers can be corrupt and intentionally lose evidence. Other officers can make z mistake and lose evidence. Police officers are human beings if one has done something dodgy in the past it does not mean they all do every time)

Anyway my point was and always has been I personally do not believe Mr Wynn politely asked as a concerned citizen. I personally think he was trying to wind the officer up. I think the officers went a bit OTT afterwards.

I hope Mr Wynn does not win his legal case. I would if I believed his story. However looking at the YouTube footage I think his behaviour contributed to the situation.
