1. Gah. I’m torn.

   On the one hand, police officer gets punished for assaulting a child, that’s amazing, that’s good news, that’s reassuring.

   On the other hand, this kid sounds like a little shit. You know you’re not supposed to spark up in the back of a van, you little fuck, stop being a knob.

2. He assumed the kid was on fire and batted out the flames.

3. I’ve seen someone get fuckin sparta kicked by a police officer so this seems pretty tame

4. [removed]

5. In America you get an Oscar after slapping the shit out of someone

6. As time goes on, people have less and less faith in kids because of a complete lack of discipline In their upbringing.

   My father slapped me once across the face because I swore at his face. I told him to fuck off.

   I never did It again, a hour after he slapped me we were cuddling on the sofa.

   If the police don’t want to deal with cases where kids are literally being beaten by their parents. The answer isnt to make a slapped bottom illegal.

   These kids in public are absolutely outrageous. I’ve had female colleagues on the buses been called “fat cunts” and spat at for not giving free rides.

   Imagine a world where everytime a kid spoke to someone like that they would receive a slap. Wouldn’t happen that often right? Perhaps people would grow up like many elderly people who were raised to respect people.

7. Seems like a very stupid way to throw away your career.

8. In England only parents are aloud to slap their children while it’s illegal completely in Scotland, not sure about wales or Northern Ireland. 

   I had a course on it in my work where we looked into if we could interfere if parents hit their kids, answer was no unless it looked like abuse and there were other signs that this was a regular occurrence but anyone else, we could interfere and it would be illegal. 

   Not even uncles or grandparents are aloud.,

9. “Kids have no discipline these days” – adults who are completely incapable of following the rules (including this police officer)

10. Isn’t it violence on a minor? Was the boy holding anything that could arm the officer?

11. When this kid grows up with resentment towards the Police and other authority figures, and goes on to do much worse than smoking in a van, and gets thrown in jail or worse, no one will wonder what caused such aberrant behaviour, he will just be branded as a bad apple and crushed by society.

    I hope he manages to overcome this, but odds are he won’t.

12. On one hand, there’s so many little shits out there I wish I could slap, but I also detest the scum.

13. It’s absolutely mental nowadays I hate this culture of ‘the police never do anything anyway!’ Then when the police need the public’s help… ‘I’m not telling you nothing!’
    Half of these chav kids are on their way to getting locked an being in an out jail all their lives because their parents are absolute whoppers.

14. Can’t count the amount of conversations I’ve been in wishing the local plod would drag these little rats down an alley and beat some sense into them.

15. Let the police slap kids maybe out the fear back into the population because sure as he’ll its a joke out there

16. Sort of sounds like the little scrote deserved it to be fair. 

17. as a 30 year old bloke, some of these youths need a good slap. i dont doubt he deserved it

18. > Gonen said the boy’s smoking made her “panic” as there were “huge safety risks”, adding that she has asthma and smoking in the vehicle was “criminal damage”.

    She panicked because someone was smoking?

    “Pathetic” doesn’t begin to cover it.

19. Guilty ? Wow ! Was his victim an MP’s son or something ??
