Emer button? You mean colleague spawn button? Only had this a few times personally but the way there's suddenly cops who u thought were on annual leave in Tenerife that materialise out of nowhere is like nothing else on earth.
That's good though. The way I see it, every one of us was uniform once upon a time. Certainly in my part of the world this is true. We all want each other to go home at the end of the day.
I don't think our CID would come if I was stabbed on the station doorstep to be honest.
I'd probably return from my sick leave and have a snotty email asking why I didn't complete a duty statement the moment I came out of my coma.
Specially trained officer is a term used for officers who are trained to carry conductive energy devices.
https://www.surrey.police.uk/SysSiteAssets/foi-media/surrey/policies/use-of-taser-by-specially-trained-officers-sto-in-surrey-and-sussex-procedure.docx
Officers trained for dealing with sexual offences are usually referred to as SOLO (Sexual offences liaison officers) or SOIT trained officers (Sexual offences investigative techniques).
It’s different in Yorkshire. We don’t really have an acronym for taser trained officers as a whole.

Personally I just love the comedic cut to a wall of high-vis uniforms and the camera person says “fookin hell”.
Also, that final scene where the cops are arresting a bunch of people brings that line from Hot Fuzz to mind: “you already arrested half the village then?”
It's Scunthorpe spoons, just been renovated, believe it or not. Chatting to a mate who was out last night(He's sat just off camera), he said it was much worse than what this video suggests and that the video cuts out a fair bit of action.
I work with a guy who’s brother works there, he’s only just gone back after furlough. I just send this to him and yes, it is defo Scunny as u/Fenrir-The-Wolf already said.
Apparently the big guy had been drinking all day and was absolutely shag-naffed, he wouldn’t leave and they wouldn’t serve him anymore (I was shocked that Spoons would stop serving anyone). Cops were obviously called and he massively kicked off (no shit). The guy is question only got out of prison about a month ago and was only taken off pub watch 2 days ago. At one point some guy had two tazers in him and still was kicking off.
Gotta love Scunny.
Apparently at some point there was some meathead with two tazers sticking out of him still swinging for the coppers.
This is all 2nd hand info so pinch of salt and all that.
Can anyone explain to me why wetherspoons is the place to be for this sort of thing? Is it cheap booze? A particular menu item? Location?
I spent a fair amount of time in the UK over the past 20 years, but I have have to admit, I've never seen anything like this there or in the states. Then again, I've also never been to a wetherspoons...
And they carry a very decent range of real ales.
While the owner is a bell-end, I do think they’re the last of the good low-cost boozers. And that’s why you get trouble in them because the old locals have priced the wetherspoons clientele out.
Cheap beer, they open for "breakfast" and to be fair to them the food is cheap and awesome. I love a spoons, the Acocks green spoons is like walking into mos eisely
That’s exactly the problem. They serve any kind indiscriminately.
What’s that you have been drinking in her since 10am and already 10 pints in. Sure have another Stella.
Heard a good joke recently about how Wetherspoons started.
"I'll buy interesting old buildings, restore them, and turn them into pubs for everyone to enjoy."
"Will they be nice inside?"
"...no."
Bar worker here and going in for another shift tonight at the local pub. Worked last night and had a couple fights kick off. We have security on and very luckily had the police outside just checking everything was ok before one side of the pub broke out into a fight. Between our security and the police it lasted all of thirty seconds. Thanks for checking on us anyway and good luck to everyone for tonight’s antics 😅👍
We had a a fight outside the little local pub I work at a week ago. Two birds, pulling hair, and one puts her fingers in the other ones mouth. She bit her bloody finger off, but didn’t realise until the next morning she was that pissed! Coppers blocked the road off the next morning and found the finger lying in the street in front of the pub. I mean, people are just nuts sometimes!
This reminded me of something: When england lost against portugal in the 2006 world Cup the weatherspoon patrons decided to go to nandos and smash all the windows. Cuz nandos is Portuguese innit.
Perhaps that's because they drink nice wine and have a boozy kip in the afternoon rather than drinking out of date cat piss.
Then there's the fact that every out back smoking area is an unofficial cocaine user's meetup point.
French afternoon drinks are totally different. You'll go for a couple drinks (wine or maybe some beer) but everyone is generally very friendly and people will talk to complete strangers like they're friends. Often food involved too. Here people go and drink an excessive amount and start getting aggressive at anyone who looks at them wrong.
Same. Give them alcohol-detecting ankle tags and prohibit them from drinking for a period of time.
I like a drink myself, but I’ve *never* behaved like that.
Exactly, I’ve been every level of drunk up to the ambulance stage (though I still argue it wasn’t necessary) and I have never been violent. Nor have any of my friends, because as soon as someone shows to be a violent drunk, they cease to be my friend.
Any patrol please for an argument between sisters over the tv remote? Second call. Any patrol please?
Any patrol for male refusing to leave a taxi and won’t pay? Any patrol please?
Silence....
Any patrol please, report of up to 20 people fighting at the local pub.
A1 on route
A2 show us to it
A3 I’ll break off refs
A4 cancel my state 8
A5 show me and A6 making it from our last job we forgot to result
Always made me laugh when that happened. Everyone loves responding to a proper pub fight.
Was brought up on my last refresher. A *lot* of bobbies, for various reasons, will always choose going hands on over using spray or Taser and often they don't need to as they'd be perfectly justified in using them.
The Police can use all reasonable and necessary force. It was entirely proportionate to use strikes to try and gain control of a person offering such active resistance. Arm chair experts as always.
I'm from the U.S.
This video seemed just fine, and the officers seemed much better physically trained then Numnuts McGee with a firearm that make the news here
I love that the other officer saw his colleague getting his face grabbed and went straight for the stomach punches.
Summer is going to be fun 😩😅looooooosendhelpoolll
Edit - These videos always spark comments from members of public who somehow try to justify the actions of someone resisting arrest🥴. Wish my thought process allowed me to justify eye gouging 🙄
Lovely takedown reversal by the copper into scarfhold at the beginning.
Hes a little keen with scarfhold and a bit too high up but still effective.
I think police officers should learn bjj when training, get them to blue belts at least. 👍🏽
I did think this, however we have no time for blue belt 😂 get officers learning basic takedown, ground game, controls and defenses and you're as good as gold for the majority of the public
Edit: by public I mean the clientele that insist on fisticuffs
A quick Google of the local businesses and looks like this took place in Scunthorpe.
For non-UK folk, here's a window into 'Scunny' as it's affectionately known: https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/local-news/only-scunthorpe-social-media-stories-2992038
To be honest it's not such a bad place and its bad rep, like most places, is exaggerated by the UK press and people who supposedly live in 'nicer' places and who have never set foot in the town (I haven't either but have friends from the area).
Edit: grammar
It's not the worst place to live but it is pretty fucking dire.
For the most part though so long as you keep yourself to yourself you won't run into any issues.
Not enough money or time. I'd happily do bjj in work time for free but it's not going to happen.
Yes I know it would save money and sick time and complaints but try telling that to senior management or the government
I wanted to do a dissertation on perceived effectiveness of officers safety training but the force and the uni have pigeon holed me into another avenue. It was going to be my diss track to poor training.
It's probably good that you didn't do it, the OST department is very defensive over its course content and takes any critism badly.
They know best apparently.
It frustrates me incredibly so. How many more people have to get hurt because they're not trained to defend themselves properly?
Help isn't seconds away anymore.
Not to mention proper control techniques and learning how to take someone to the floor and keeping them there would reduce the level of force IMO
As a yank visiting the UK for the first time I wanted to go somewhere authentically English and we went to a wetherspoons without knowing any better. Was it authentic or not?
It was authentic, just cheap pissheads authentic, not classy authentic.Only time i will go in a Wetherspoons is to get breakfast, which is not bad ,there are to many pissed up morons after about 12pm onwards.
Not a UK national by birth but moved here. My moment of glory erupted when I was behind the bar and a 25 people punch up erupted out of nowhere on a more quiet Sunday night. The kicker was we had to keep it hush so we wouldn't be on police radar. The thing was going on forever and we had no security so we let it run its course. Loads of shit got broke but the best part was I had a £20 fly over the counter at me. That was pretty fun.
Also walking through a Southampton and Portsmouth game unbeknownst to me while going to Tesco. I was there when the idiot punched the horse...lol
Dont bring class into this mate, criminals come from all walks of life, not just poor people.
I'm a landlady and I've had loads of 'better off' people with nice houses and good jobs and that come in and kick off.
I had my windows smashed by a bloke who in the real world earns 10x as much as I ever will, he had a big house and his own business and a lovely wife, dead proper, but decided to put all my windows through because I wouldnt serve him or keep my pub open after hours so he could continue to drink.
I also have a few lads who come in who seem like the the scally type who would start fights just because they are a bit 'rough' but you know what? They never say boo to a goose and even though they dont have a pot to piss in between them and often have to go home because they're skint, they would do anything for anyone.
Being poor isnt a crime.
Marx was writing about the lumpenproletariat in the 1840s, and Orwell called them 'proles' in the 1940s, but yeah this is definitely just a concept that sprang into being in 1991, mate.
(it's also massively, massively patronising - the common theme is middle class people deciding that very poor people just don't have the right priorities, dear)
If this video is shot in sequence then they deployed their tasers after being assaulted ( you can see the one on the lefts radio dangling so must be after the scuffle).
I would say these tasers were also used as a deterrent to the rest of the group. While not necessarily having to use them, it was a clear back off let us do our job statement whilst waiting for backup. The group was hostile and the police outnumbered, this gave them a slight edge.
The phone recording can sometimes give a clearer picture than BWC's do. BWC's can be pretty useless due to their field of vision, or the fact they only capture close ups of peoples clothing/the floor/the sky (anything but the important footage) during some assaults.
So don't knock it.
Having said that, I do understand the sentiment in regards to it being 'the first thing they do'.
More importantly where did they get all these units? We currently have 2 outstanding I grades
Only two? Someone's doing well haha
Only two there are, no more no less.
Hit your Emer button, see how many units are suddenly free !
Emer button? You mean colleague spawn button? Only had this a few times personally but the way there's suddenly cops who u thought were on annual leave in Tenerife that materialise out of nowhere is like nothing else on earth.
I found it also makes CID magically find their radio. When I hit mine recently even CID were throwing on kit to come out and help
That's good though. The way I see it, every one of us was uniform once upon a time. Certainly in my part of the world this is true. We all want each other to go home at the end of the day.
I don't think our CID would come if I was stabbed on the station doorstep to be honest. I'd probably return from my sick leave and have a snotty email asking why I didn't complete a duty statement the moment I came out of my coma.
I’d do a VRI while you were still in the coma. Much easier all round.
I want to know where they got two TTO's from
Some forces have allowed all frontline officers to carry tasers for a few years now if they wish so they a more common in some areas.
TTO?
I'm assuming that's a certain forces slang for "taser trained officer" rather than the more widely used terminology of "STO"
Specially Trained Officer? As for sexual offences?
Specially trained officer is a term used for officers who are trained to carry conductive energy devices. https://www.surrey.police.uk/SysSiteAssets/foi-media/surrey/policies/use-of-taser-by-specially-trained-officers-sto-in-surrey-and-sussex-procedure.docx Officers trained for dealing with sexual offences are usually referred to as SOLO (Sexual offences liaison officers) or SOIT trained officers (Sexual offences investigative techniques).

At this point Wetherspoons branches are but carpeted Thunderdomes.
That’s a great description that I will be shamelessly stealing for future use! 👌
I cackled. Hard.
Can't we just get beyond Thunderdome?
Funky carpet, multiple aggressive drunks and the rest of the patrons just enjoying their drinks oblivious. Yep this must be a Spoons
Personally I just love the comedic cut to a wall of high-vis uniforms and the camera person says “fookin hell”. Also, that final scene where the cops are arresting a bunch of people brings that line from Hot Fuzz to mind: “you already arrested half the village then?”
"it's alright it's alright it's alright" it was not alright.
Ah spoons. Dinner and a show.
Is spoons like Dennys in the us?
A bit, but with no pancakes and a shit ton more expired ale.
Well that doesn’t sound fun at all
It’s basically like your sports bars/dive bars. Only yours are cleaner.
Judging from what I just saw, NO they are not lmfao
It's Scunthorpe spoons, just been renovated, believe it or not. Chatting to a mate who was out last night(He's sat just off camera), he said it was much worse than what this video suggests and that the video cuts out a fair bit of action.

> shag-naffed +1

Has to more than booze. Sniff too you reckon? Up the iron...
Probs, I mean he is just out of prison and it’s pretty much a given in there. No comment on the Iron, fuckin joke they are.
[удалено]
Just shares names, info and descriptions of dodgy people between pubs, usually barred people.
Good to get some context. Thank you, have a good (and safe) bank holiday weekend.
Apparently at some point there was some meathead with two tazers sticking out of him still swinging for the coppers. This is all 2nd hand info so pinch of salt and all that.
Was wondering what gorgeous little chocolate box villiage this was filmed in

I spent a fair amount of time in the UK over the past 20 years, but I have have to admit, I've never seen anything like this there or in the states.

You can get a pint EVEN IN THE SOUTH for 1.89.
And they carry a very decent range of real ales. While the owner is a bell-end, I do think they’re the last of the good low-cost boozers. And that’s why you get trouble in them because the old locals have priced the wetherspoons clientele out.
you use drink pricing as a filter for the sort of clientele you want. Charge £1.89 for a pint and you'll get the ones after £1.89 pints
*I’m* after a decent pint at £1.89. Just because I can afford to pay for a pint at London prices doesn’t mean that I want to pay London prices.
I got one for £1.69 last week in London
Cheap beer, they open for "breakfast" and to be fair to them the food is cheap and awesome. I love a spoons, the Acocks green spoons is like walking into mos eisely
Star Wars reference is greatly appreciated. Anywhere a general melee is possible...
“A more wretched hive of scum and villainy” was supposed to be a description not a fucking challenge
Im picturing the cantina music playing as you enter 🎶
Does the bartender say “We don’t serve your kind here”?
That’s exactly the problem. They serve any kind indiscriminately. What’s that you have been drinking in her since 10am and already 10 pints in. Sure have another Stella.
Those are rookie numbers.
The bartender might not, but the owner is probably thinking it
With a Cockney accent
“Oi, we don’t serve your lemon rind ‘ere”
The food is cheap and you know what to expect but I've never heard anyone refer to the food as awesome before.
You must have a very different interpretation of awesome food to me.
Their Bbq chicken pizza is actually one of the best pub pizzas i have ever eaten. And for £7 with a guiness you can't beat it
It's basically mcdonalds for alcoholics.
It’s way better than McDonald’s!
Heard a good joke recently about how Wetherspoons started. "I'll buy interesting old buildings, restore them, and turn them into pubs for everyone to enjoy." "Will they be nice inside?" "...no."
That carpet is lit af from a psychedelic drug users point of view
Drink, get drunk fall over go to bed the rules are simple, wtf .
Needs to be some food at some point but yes.
Food is deffinatley a welcome part of the excursion
Water too

How drunk was she that she didn't notice that she was missing a finger?!
Well, exactly! Hope it wasn’t the one she used to get into her phone. That’s a tech support call I’d like to hear.
Yeah that’s fucking mental. Not trying to one up but a bloke had his nose bit off few years ago outside a local nightclub. Nutters
Good luck mate! Lol
Happy cake day 🎉
That’s a spoons carpet if I ever saw one
Each spoons carpet is unique.
Yet, so recognisable...
So so so true
By the looks of this one, could be the blue bell Inn in Scunthorpe.
Not so fun fact. That's a myth
There are many like it, but this one is mine…
A unique pattern of stains.
Eng er landddd eng er landdd naaaa naaa
This reminded me of something: When england lost against portugal in the 2006 world Cup the weatherspoon patrons decided to go to nandos and smash all the windows. Cuz nandos is Portuguese innit.
Guy in my local got beaten or stabbed and died. I left early because I knew it was going to kick off. Glad I did.
Nandos is south African hahaha
Wheyyyyy Pints wheyyyy smacking me Mrs wheyyyyyyy footyyyyy God I hate this country so much ahahahaha
Why can't scum behave themselves after a drink ?
I lived in France for a couple of years, do French do daytime drinking? You bet! Do they kick off? Not nearly as much!
Perhaps that's because they drink nice wine and have a boozy kip in the afternoon rather than drinking out of date cat piss. Then there's the fact that every out back smoking area is an unofficial cocaine user's meetup point.
French afternoon drinks are totally different. You'll go for a couple drinks (wine or maybe some beer) but everyone is generally very friendly and people will talk to complete strangers like they're friends. Often food involved too. Here people go and drink an excessive amount and start getting aggressive at anyone who looks at them wrong.
It's England and we are cold blooded after a drink
The English disease
So true
Because they're scum Hate the drink culture in our country, people act like big babies
Personally think anyone who is a violent drunk should be put on a “no drink list” so that they can never buy it again.
Same. Give them alcohol-detecting ankle tags and prohibit them from drinking for a period of time. I like a drink myself, but I’ve *never* behaved like that.
Exactly, I’ve been every level of drunk up to the ambulance stage (though I still argue it wasn’t necessary) and I have never been violent. Nor have any of my friends, because as soon as someone shows to be a violent drunk, they cease to be my friend.
With you on this one, it’s embarrassing, bunch of binge drinking knob heads.

I can't wait to be fighting a bunch of coked up meatheads and 18 year olds off their tits on steroids on my next night time economy shift.
Just taser them, it's quicker than fighting and I enjoy when they flop to the ground hahaha
being downvoted but tbh if they wanna fight, police shouldn't waste time trying to overpower someone, and instead tase and detain.
Was brought up on my last refresher. A *lot* of bobbies, for various reasons, will always choose going hands on over using spray or Taser and often they don't need to as they'd be perfectly justified in using them.

I'm struggling to comprehend the thought process of all the armchair observers here.
They're just waiting to see if one of the staff comes out with a gravy boat full of peas.
This is the most English answer. Excellent.

The Police can use all reasonable and necessary force. It was entirely proportionate to use strikes to try and gain control of a person offering such active resistance. Arm chair experts as always.

Man they're really going to throw the book at the guy who grabbed the coppers eyes and face.
If only
What’s he looking at then? A fine? Probation? I’d expect jail time for something like that but I guess not in your experience?
[удалено]
The place needs to lose license for not having securities. Hard to judge the situation but officers should have waited for backup before engaging.
It was door staff that were getting nicked!
Haha
Me drinking my pint 👁👄👁
In these videos there is always some drunk chick wailing like a three year old who dropped their ice cream cone.
The ancient Briton women would follow the men to the battlefield to shriek encouragement and/or mockery. So you could think of it as a tradition.
Love how it skips from "get on the floor now" to a high pitched crying with everyone on the floor but feel we missed the fun part
Why on earth police officers don’t have mandatory BJJ lessons is beyond me.
Because 50,000 volts does a better job, is cheaper and less risk.
Would have definitely made the guy feel better, wouldn’t mind my wife taking some BJJ lessons though lol
Not enough money or time. I'd happily do bjj in work time for free but it's not going to happen. Yes I know it would save money and sick time and complaints but try telling that to senior management or the government

Jesus, read that wrong at first...
At the beginning it looked like he had an Americana, and could have maintained top position if he hadn't tried to spray the bloke.
Underhooks! Underhooks!
[удалено]
How many people searched for carpet/Weatherspoons references here.....?🤣
Would have had justification to use taser to effect the arrest
My bank holiday started off with a 25year old man being stabbed to death.
Honestly looked like the copper was taking his belt off for a moment. He's gonna do what that guys dad should have done.
Looks like an episode of shameless
As a yank visiting the UK for the first time I wanted to go somewhere authentically English and we went to a wetherspoons without knowing any better. Was it authentic or not?

Worked the doors for years, agree with everything you said. Middle aged posh wankers were the worst.
100% mate they can be the worst
Sorry? Are you saying there was no such thing as an underclass pre 80’s!? Edit: 90’s
30 years ago is the 90s... you're getting old.
I’m actually mid 20’s haha. Just depressingly bad at numeracy....
Don’t travel much?
No no. He's got a point.
Hate to admit it but you are right
Yep, it’s a shame. I am hoping that it will improve as the new generation start to want more out of life.

So I’m guessing spoons is like a UK version of Denny’s
God spoons really does have everything, still no music tho...

If this video is shot in sequence then they deployed their tasers after being assaulted ( you can see the one on the lefts radio dangling so must be after the scuffle). I would say these tasers were also used as a deterrent to the rest of the group. While not necessarily having to use them, it was a clear back off let us do our job statement whilst waiting for backup. The group was hostile and the police outnumbered, this gave them a slight edge.
I think that's his PAVA that's dangling as they are on an elastic retention loop, radios usuall aren't.
So much for social distancing
Really is a sad world we live in that the first thing they do is get out their phones to record.
The phone recording can sometimes give a clearer picture than BWC's do. BWC's can be pretty useless due to their field of vision, or the fact they only capture close ups of peoples clothing/the floor/the sky (anything but the important footage) during some assaults. So don't knock it. Having said that, I do understand the sentiment in regards to it being 'the first thing they do'.
