Why has he been sent to prison for 8 months then?
He wasn't found guilty of fixing the story with two other officers in an attempt to falsely prove his innocence. This is a travesty of Justice.

Dangerous Idiot
The OB foam at the mouth at the thought of it kicking off at these types of events. From killing newspaper sellers to knocking out students teeth its about time they started getting locked up.
British police are the best police force in the world bar none - and by a long way too. I've worked alongside police officers in some fairly trying circumstances on countless occasions and believe me when the shit hits the fan you wouldn't want anybody else in your corner. Always happy to do my job but I would never want to do theirs.

On the basis of this conviction how many police officers should have been imprisioned due to the violence in the miners strike.

I'd consider myself a supporter of the police in general, I've known plenty and they've all been thoroughly decent and completely lacking in the 'power trip' mentality that people seem to expect from them.
That said, this plank is rightfully being sent down for a spell, as should any officer that acts in a similar way.

I've met a few and my brothers friend is one. But, if the public are to have/maintain respect for the plod then idiots like this one need to be rooted out. If I knocked a coppers tooth out I know where I'd be spending my time. It's no different the other way round.

The majority of police forces in this country are decent, but the Met think they're a law unto themselves.

I'm with the student all the way. While I respect the job police officers have to do and it must be hard at times, police officers are not the most intelligent of people. They get pointed at a group of people, told they are the bad guys and I don't think they can think much beyond that. Especially in these situations. Most of the time if the police backed off these things would dissipate naturally. That's not the officers fault obviously, orders and that but a situation like that combined with low intelligence and ego and the police never come off looking well.

The problem is there's too many idiots like this in the force. Finished watching the three part documentary Dectives last night, which was a brilliant look into the work of the Manchester sexual offences unit. Have the utmost respect for the hard work and professionalism of those police officers. They're completely let down by the truncheon happy knobheads too often seen in riot gear.
True. The fact they train at a separate facility away from all the other forces doesn't help. A friend said they have an elitist mentality to other forces.

Brighton coppers, about 20 years ago had a very bad reputation for heavy handedness. A family member of mine used to be in the Met and even internally Brighton police had a worse rep for all sorts. Note, I wrote reputation, I'm not making accusations. On the occasions I have dealt with them professionally they have been nothing but kind , courteous and utterly professional. On the times I have dealt with them as a member of the public they have been short, brash and unnecessarily rude. The average bobby on the beat in Brighton seems to be either dense, brutish or a combination of the two. I avoid them as much as possible.

Team cop. If protestors stood there peacefully and didnt act like complete entitled ***** of human beings nothing would happen to them.
Police are only human like the rest of us, dealing with the trash of society makes peoples outlooks and attitudes change over time.
My other half is a Paramedic. Even though she's always saving lives her outlook on society has become a negative one from dealing with scumbags all the time.

No its the "I don't act like a **** in public and nobody has ever done anything to me" thing.
Works a treat for people of all persuasions.

Newspaper vendors in London are human trash? Do they deserve to be pushed over?

Only if they are told to do something and don't do it.

You obviously don't know the story, so please don't comment on it. You are making yourself look stupid.
