If a member of the public did this they would be looking a jail

This what happens when you give a coward the tools and means to strike an unarmed person and then hide behind his badge !!” This the UK we voted for ?

[Filo]

What did the lad do?

It does n’t matter what he did, the Copper struck him on the head from behind, that blow could have killed the lad, you can hear the crack in the video

[5 on Tour]

The lad is lucky to be alive. Attacking someone in the head from behind with a weapon without giving the other person chance to defend themselves. None of us would see daylight again this decade. Absolutely disgusting.

[keith79]

He could have been running around stabbing  people. So what did he do?

[bpoolrover]

He was having a fight with a Wednesday fan I think

[Monkcaster_Rover]

He could have been running around stabbing  people. So what did he do?

Hearing a lot of rumours on Twitter (shock, horror) one that popped up was him supposedly throwing objects at Police.

How true that is, I don't know. What I do know is that the Coppers face is now all over Twitter after someone managed to get a clear snap of it.

[keith79]

Is the wednesday fan ok? Anyone got a longer YouTube clip?

[keith79]

Is the copper ok?

[Monkcaster_Rover]

Is the copper ok?

Probably out of a job but as far as I know, he's ok.

[drfchound]

None of us know what had gone on before someone started filming.

[silent majority]

It’s now with the IOPC, so they will decide the outcome.

It’s particularly disappointing given all the hard work we’ve done with SYP this last 12 months.

[Glyn_Wigley]

He was having a fight with a Wednesday fan I think

It sticks out like a sore thumb that none of what happened before to provoke that reaction from the copper was shown. If anybody says they only started filming it from when the clip started I won't believe them.

It does n’t matter what has gone on before this, the copper should not target the head unless he feels his life is in danger, it clearly was n’t because like a coward he blindsided the lad

From what I could make out, the lad was going towards someone else, away from the copper. If you were the copper and thought you possibly saw a knife in the hand of someone who had already been fighting as he went towards an unarmed person, what would you have done in order to protect the life of the unarmed person?

Glyn, we don’t often agree do we but you are thinking as i was.
We also don’t know whether the policeman intended to hit the bloke on the head.
It isn’t crystal clear is it.

[MachoMadness]

Surely you take out the legs if that's the case? You don't lay into someone's head from behind with enough force to kill them?
Some police are just thugs with a badge who use football matches as a chance to prove how hard they are. I've been walking away from the KM many times and seen police provoking fans of both sides to inflame situations.

If the kid was that much of a threat, he'd have been arrested surely? The 47-year-old man was, the 16-year-old wasn't. We're less safe with violent psychopaths like this wearing uniform, not more.

[ravenrover]

My goodness such opinion on something when no one was there or knows the full details

[Not Now Kato]

It’s now with the IOPC, so they will fudge the outcome.

It’s particularly disappointing given all the hard work we’ve done with SYP this last 12 months.

FTFY

Well I know more than just about anybody, and there is so much detail not being divulged from both sides at this moment in time, and for all the right reasons.

As I stated earlier it’s with IOPC and we should wait for them to do their work.

I would have smacked his hand or the knife with the baton not his head from behind.

[VivaRovers]

...It’s particularly disappointing given all the hard work we’ve done with SYP this last 12 months.

Which 'we' is this? The FSA? The VSC? Rovers?

[bpoolrover]

There is no indication he had a knife he was having a scrap with another fan, arrest him yes but way to far smacking him on the head

[silent majority]

...It’s particularly disappointing given all the hard work we’ve done with SYP this last 12 months.

It’s all of those.

I chair the SYP Independent Advisory Group. The participants are SYP, BTP, the clubs themselves along with supporter reps.

It’s been mentioned on here a few times.

You have no idea if there was any indication or not.

[DRFC_AjA]

Ah yes. Every young lad or lady who has grown up wanting to be a police officer has done it for any of many reasons...Could it be to solve cirmes, be a pillar of the community, maybe work in armed sections, help rid the streets of drugs in narcotics divisions.....Or....Look after and babysit young chavs or grown men who act like chavs every Saturday.

A knuckle dragger or soon to be knuckle dragger got whacked, these vermin ruin many a Saturday for many people.

They'll be an independent enquiry and if the officer done wrong let's hope he does get the sack as any of us would. From this small snippet of a video not one person can tell the full story. So shall we all get off our high horses. Scargill isn't around anymore grandads you don't have to hate the police at every second you get. .

Without a doubt he intended to hit him on the head

Did he?
It isn’t so clear to me.

Should behave himself , only saw half the video , we will see a lot more of this with all the knife crime on the streets
