I have been on the recieving end of the Police in Rochdale...and I haven't been arrested for any crime in all my Years on this Earth.

What did they do to investigate the incident?....they had an internal investigation which came to nothing although they have admitted liability that an injury was caused during my stay at their convenience and I could apply for compensation which they would admit the liability.

I don't want money, I wanted justice.

Some Police officers are thugs and if the organisation that supports them doesn't clean house I am afraid they are to be tarred with the same brush.

   I've seen this officer remain unbelievably calm in very threatening circumstances. It is a sad state of affairs when police cannot even use minimal or no force without a known thug looking to seek compensation by being dishonest, and tarnishing the name of a well respected and good police officer as a result.

How far will it have to go before Police officers can be true police officers.

Most young criminals will commit crime now just to see their mates in prison because of the luxuries that even some law abiding citizens do not have.

In a society where you can claim compensation for tripping over your own foot, or get a police officer the sack for acting like a complete thug, then lying about your own and the officer's behaviour... it's no wonder the respect for the police is low even from normal civvies and the moral at GMP is virually rock bottom.

What next? Batons and cuffs replaced with feather dusters and a bus pass for criminals to make their own voluntary way to the station??

Its time we went back to basics, zero tolerance and respectable policing.

remember when you'd get a clip round the ear off your dad if a copper gave you a clip round the ear for being a little bugger?

Bring that back before the police service becomes a complete joke.

   Sroate sues for compensation. Police officer loses job and livelyhood. This makes me sick.

Our police are HEROES yet they have to put up with this.

   ok I get it...I live in a asylum and the yobs are ruling the society wse live in today...muast be true when Allan Brett is finally leaving the council and Dale Mulgrew has given up the fight!!

   What a joke ...one of our Police officers threatened with the sack for a leg sweep on a drunk arrested on the street..... and you wonder why moral in GMP is at a all time low, crime figures soar and the underclasses pay for nothing. If we have a police service afraid to use the mildest of force on these idiots then we have lost as who else is there out there to sort them out ?? teachers have no bottle threaten strike and call the police if any unruly kids are in school, firemen if not also threateneing to go on strike call out the cops if someone throws a stone at them and the ambulance who are always threateneing to go on strike call the cops every time they get a call than involves a drunk/fight before they get there. I tell you officers like PC Lang doing his job and threatened with the sack its a joke and a waste of a good cop never mind "bully" i wonder what the true story is ?? you dont get locked up for nothing...now its pound signs and compo this fool is after
