Please read... cannot believe this just happened after West End Drinks

Did you see the video of the Glasgow Rangers supporters giving the the oinks a good fright? Hilarious. They got one, gave him a good kicking, and his oh so courageous colleagues just stood there, watching him get beat. One of today's papers has the pix on the front page.

End of this video is what your talking about . . he got a proper shooing

Hold on.

One set of coppers were complete cunts, the others were reasonable and you managed to laugh it off with them. Not really time to roll out the 'all pigs are fascist' diatribe.

The guys on bikes were alright, no? Perhaps the twats on foot should be made to get on bikes and lose some of that ignorance. Much like people in cars would be better drivers if they got on a bike - and, gasp, cyclists would be better on bikes if they got in a car now and again. (Are you aware how invisible you are to a car, in the dark, with fugged up windshields cos it's raining? Going from some of the cycling on the Monopoly Ride, not all of us).

insert picture here of a candle with a campagnolo logo on it next to a vintage campagnolo box.
i dont have time for creating such things

Slightly off thread but reading Tynans account of cuffs brought back memories ...

Cuffed with hands behind your back and carried from van to - station - to cell - by your arms is SO FUCKING PAINFUL

I am now stuck with Visions of a chopper shot of London, MikeC's Orange Deep V's cutting in and out of traffic in "real live Police chase" Video on London Tonight...

Looks like Big Daddy and WAID did the leg work winding them up and you were the next to walk along... thats a tough break man.

You don't really have a leg to stand on. sadly without giving one a tasty slap you are not going to get the Rodney kinging worthy of compensation.
The more lip you give them the more petit they get. just smile and pretend to be sorry. Last time i got pulled by warren st (3am after a 14 hour day going through amber lights on a dead road) the Po decided to go at me guns blazing, being tired i asked if he was bullied at school... stupid as fuk question but in my mind i was trying to help him ;)

I wasnt jumping on the all pigs are fascist ticket, i've got a couple of mates in the met and they and their mates are all good honest folk as george bush would say, but like all walks of life theres always a couple of cunts spoiling it for the others . . . like i said earlier i found the incident amusing more than anything else, and the coppers in question looked like they were straight out of hendon - if it had of been some older rossas who had been around for a while then i would have been a lot more concerned

And i sure as hell dont agree with what happens to the cop in the video

Wasn't aimed at you vinyl. Just that we jump on some lazy stereotypes but let others slide. (I'm not a cop and I know we had a right nudger of a cop come on here with a nicked bike - just that if you look for the negative, you'll always find evidence to support your prejudice).

I guess you can't really use the "me no speak english trick"...:D

"why can't you speak english sir"

"kass mm too peeeshed!"

All pigs are fascists

Asking for their number might well get you a "right you're nicked you cheeky fucker" - you will probably be taken for a public order offensive and even resisting arrest/assaulting a police officer.

They will laugh at you.

Make it, it will get you nowhere, your report will most likely never get past the wastepaper basket - let alone get to some disciplinary hearing.

I've taken off my rose-tinted glasses, thrown them on the floor and shoed them in. I've lost all faith! I give up. Just end it all now!

All pigs are fascists
all aussies are cunts ;p

That's more like it ! :)

if you gave them any shit, they would have made your night worse, best to play sorry/stupid. works for me.........hang on....... I AM stupid

mouse for PM

Everyone loves a cunt.

if you gave them any shit, they would have made your night worse, best to play sorry/stupid.

That is also my experience of dealing with the police, threatening them in any way (even if you are within your rights) will just make the situation worse.

I saw those copper... they were there when i left right underneath the bridge?? They shouted something at me..and i pretend I didn't speak English and cycled off... I had flashing lights..

I guess you can't really use the "me no speak english trick"...:D

or the "i'm profoundly deaf mate, I can't understand you" work well, thought it easier if they see a hearing aids in your ears (that what I do, and I am profoundly deaf).

next time just start crying

Let's hope those cycle cops decided to go down there and have a word. Unlikely...

Threatening the police- especially when they're still dealing with you- would be super-dumb and I wouldn't do it.

Getting stung with a Public Order Offence is a nightmare- if you are given a fine and contest it you face a nightmare at the Mags Court.

All officers are not cnuts, are not fascists. Those that are need to be held to account.

Being defeatist in the face of oppressive behaviour is however too depressing to contemplate. I've had two significant victories over the police this year in cases that will make a difference.

I'm bailing out of this as people hold their views and I don't want my only posts to make me out to be some pain in the ass campaigning 'assclown' (I loved that). I'm not. I came here to find out about nuclear seat posts.

EDIT: I like how it has stirred debate, though.

next time just start crying

Preferably also wet your pants, they'll soon let you go in complete disgust. Then cycle home at a swift pace and you should be back in time for a shower and clean slacks before the wee goes all cold.

:)

The more lip you give them the more petit they get.

So I can shrink them with my sarcasm? That's brilliant news. I'll mouth off for 10mins or so, then when they're a couple of inches tall, I'll pop them astride my flashing front light and take them for the ride of their lives.

Sounds like some very bored coppers having a laugh with you - don't waste a second worrying about it

My name officer? yes Harold Roberts junior.

My name... why yes, it's...
