Ah now Bern... Your winding us up arent you!?
What we had was a guy pushed over for sure and the policeman owned up straight away...but we do not know the full circumstances re provocation etc as yet and once again they have carried out yet another post mortem yesterday , a third one, so somthing is looking odd...Of course incidents like this are unfortunate and we all Im sure wish they wouldnt happen but in the extreme heat of the kitchen you can sometimes get burnt. Oh no...I sound like Marco Pierre White.
Officers get hit with bricks, officers get hit with bottles, officers get assaulted, and so on etc etc..and yes maybe even while protecting your, or indeed my, property...so its not quite a black and white issue . Your painting a bit of a black picture.
Interestingly as an aside. I have written to a number of organisations to send me their press releases as and when, as I need as much info as I can get to do front page features. Sometimes press releases come in unsolicted too, which is good...but the only organisation so far who have refused to send me Press Releases are the Police and Jonathan Green their press officer. I am interested in giving the Police a fair press on the frontpage where there are very good viewing figures, but the upshot was that they said NO, .."we dont acknowledge Forums" or words close to that. I explained Im not just a forum but an overall magazine..but the answer stayed a resounding NO!! So there you are..I was only trying to serve the community by giving people out there the information I thought they should get.
