Bad cops getting punished, you love to see it, I’m glad the professionals could see that what he did was wrong and proceeded accordingly

Yup, I agree.

As a matter of interest do you two think the professionals involved in this decision should have been suspended given their mistake ended in junior officers being injured under their duty of care?

Yes. If you're a leader you have the responsibility to lead, and the force didn't plan their operation properly. Maybe not suspension because every operation planned can't possibly lead to 100% success, and failure on it's own isn't a cause for suspension as long as they followed all polices and procedures. If they just winged it, then yeah.

Cherie's referring to the incident with the lockdown party in Brixton when the cops went in to shut it down and ended up getting chased off.

Yep, I don't agree with any of that either Ammi but it is unfortunate that a lot of people get dragged into that **** tbh

"ANY" cops getting punished is a more accurate statement for this website tbh.

The only reason he got any type of "punishment" is because of George Floyd, so don't get too ahead of yourself.

Oh, unsure what that has to do with what happened here but sure, no they shouldn’t be fired because they didn’t directly cause any injuries, they should be order to do more training however as they clearly didn't fully understand what techniques should have been used.

They were sent in with no protective gear, that was a decision taken by their supervising officer, if they had protective gear its unlikely they would have been injured? it was a mistake that was quickly corrected, when they had to attend one the following night they were all geared up so someone made a mistake that got officers injured but they kept their job because they were able to reflect on how badly they handled it and corrected it when the situation arose again

Omg exactly

I don't get why people expect police to be more 'perfect' than anybody else

Well, in a job that can deal with life and death, "mistakes" are more costly.

If a badly trained doctor causes serious harm to a patient would your response be "I don't get why people expect doctors to be more 'perfect' than anybody else"?

No, it would be "This doctor either ignored his training and procedures or was poorly trained to start with". The police are no different.

Exactly, the person in charge made a mistake and it was rectified, they didn’t directly injure anyone, they should be put on an intensive training course to make sure it didn’t happen again

There’s a mistake and then there’s using techniques that aren’t allowed or even taught to restrain people

It felt to me like a very stressful situation that one of them didn’t handle very well, they were surrounded by a mob, the week before policemen were attacked while trying to tackle a mugger, no he didn’t cover himself in glory, but he may not be given an opportunity to correct his mistake like his superior has..be interesting to see what the outcome is for him

My god... EXACTLY!!!

Nobody here is in the police force so I don't know why they claim to act as if they know everything about it lol

And btw, my job is to make sure my mum is kept in good health and takes all of her medication that’ll help keep her comfortable and help prolong her life, so yes, I do my very best to not make any mistakes because if I did, something bad could happen, I don’t think it’s unfair that people that are paid by us, to protect and serve us and uphold the law, are held to higher standards because of their job tbh, idk that might just be me

[Ammi]

‘The police have both extraordinary responsibilities and powers. These include powers that can impact on people’s liberty and even their right to life.‘

...this is why it’s so completely important that any ‘mistake’ in the police force holds accountability always, which is exactly what’s happening for the safety and trust of both the police and the public...

She is lucky to have you

[caprimint]

Ehhhh Liam... I think we could all look back on our jobs and think... wow there is something I should have done better there...

I don't think the police should be excused or taken away from that

[Liam-]

Would people have the same empathy for a surgeon who decided to do an operation a completely different way to what they were taught because they were ‘stressed’? No they wouldn’t, because that could have grave consequences, just like an officer handling people a completely different way than their taught could have, high standard professions that are there to protect us rightfully have to held to higher standards and different levels of scrutiny.

A secretary sending an email to the wrong recipient is a mistake, a police officer choosing to disregard training and kneel on someone’s head/neck is a choice

Sorry but a surgeon doesn’t run into theatre ..they will have time to prepare and they won’t be surrounded by members of the public filming and barking orders, it won’t be long before beat bobbies start looking the other way, retreating like they did in Brixton rather than dealing with the situation

You think surgeons have time to prepare for a trauma accident? If someone is shot, run over, stabbed, they don’t have time to prepare they have to go straight to it, if they strayed from their training and make things worse or killed them, would they be expected to be held to account? Of course they would be

If they can’t stick to their training and they take things into their own hands, they either shouldn’t be in the job at all, or should be shelved until they’ve received the right amount of training necessary

The patient has to be put under for starters they don’t start operating in the waiting room on a wide awake patient in their jeans and T-shirt

And unless their colleagues attack them they are perfectly safe

But is it not an incredibly stressful job? What if they panicked and killed a patient because they did something they didn’t do, would it be chalked up to a mistake or with they be held responsible and punished?
