GUEST,Concerned BS: Police Brutality (169* d) RE: BS: Police Brutality 22 May 12


I have only had one close dealing with the Police, my son was arrested late at night, early the following morning two officers came to my door with one of their big red keys, fortunately I managed to answer the door before they caved it in. They came into my house with a search warrant, they were extremely abrupt with both myself and my wife, one in particular was rude to the point where I was tempted to thump him (I am not normally a violent man). I asked if they could just hold off for a few minutes while I made arrangements for my eighty six (86)year old Mother to be "fostered" out to a friend for a time, again they were extremely aggressive not allowing me to go into the room with the phone in. Eventually I managed to make arrangements for my Mother, the two Police Officers were joined by another 6 officers who searched the house, jumped to several conclusions and eventually arrested by my wife and I. We spent the remainder of the day in the cells. Eventually we were released, without charge, without apology. Needless to say I was not and remain unendeared to the Police officers in this instance, my son was later released, again without charge (his crime, a small amount of cannibis). I should point out that my wife and I are in our 50's, neither of us has ever been in any trouble with the Police, except in my wife's case a speeding ticket. Their behaviour was to my mind totally unacceptable, I realise we may have been visited by bad apples but they left a very bad taste and my respect for the Police has evaporated entirely.
