He’s good at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s good at that. hard to say as the video only starts with the policeman grabbing him , but it looks like Police got the wrong person and then let him go when witnesses pointed it out there is an element of who cares and tough shit , couldn't happen to a nicer bloke ... but the policeman involved appears to have acted on "because I can , I was convinced you had breached security " don't misconstrue this with sympathy for SYL , but I'd imagine if this happened to anyone else it would be in the Police state or the art of policing thread Edited April 4, 2022 by tonyh29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it happens all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it happens all the time. tbh i was going with the story as i reported in the Heil today , which seemed to be the only one really running it ( usual Heil caveat) When Robinson asks why the incident took place, the officer says: 'Because I was convinced you had breached security - that's why.' He then clarifies that he has since spoken with witnesses and when accused of assaulting Robinson, he replies: 'I've not assaulted you. I've acted within the law because I believed at the time that you committed a crime.' I wasn't there and can only go with the video clip but it did seem a tad excessive , I've been at airports when armed police have taken someone down in seconds and cuffed them on the basis of a perceived terrorism threat , no messing , no dancing up against the walls ..I haven't seen police act in that manner at an airport which is the part I was really referring to ... but there could be a whole heap more that I 'm not aware of , so I'm not going out on a limb and saying the police were 100% in the wrong , and as you say SYL does have a history of acting like prick and then switching to victim I just think if that wasn't SYL in that clip , people would be asking questions Edit - reading the the article again it doesn't actually say "because I can " ( from my original post) .. I'm pretty sure it did originally but it isn't in the article so I think I'm going mad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 It’s also a suspiciously short clip. I wonder if just before or after it was cropped SYL looks less innocent. Hopefully someone else shares a more complete version of events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
