Violent man attacks police officer, gets filled in and then his family moan about it.

If I punched a copper, I’d expect to get some back.
I wouldn’t cry to the press about it.
The police have a pretty shitty job and sometimes fuck it up. But in this case, well played plod.
I would quite like to see the body cam footage of this.
What’s with this ITV misleading headlines, does Piers Morgan work for them or something?
So, Errol Dixon hit the police officer FIRST, then the police office punched him AFTER.
And now, it’s news? Surely the police officer was defending himself.
Honestly, the media has gone to the gutter.. he assaulted the officer
‘No case to answer for police officer who defended himself against attacker’
Fixed.
What a dick ! Why get violent over a simple traffic stop ?
There will be many who will refuse to accent the verdict, e.g the daughter who ran with a malicious account of what went down.
But at least the officer has been cleared.
It’s like what they say in Detroit, if you can’t get the punch don’t do the punching.
Imagine how differently people would be talking about this if some random guy hospitalised a 70-year-old rather than a police officer even if the old guy threw the first punch.
The man punched a police officer and was hit back in self defense. The police officer was cleared by an independent investigation.
It’s unfortunate that the man ended up in hospital but with punches it can go from one extreme to the other.
If you still feel the need to lambast the police maybe r/GreenandPleasant is the right place for you.
Fuck around and find out. Fuck ITV for their manipulation. He has quite the audacity to say he’s wondering why this happened when he threw the first punch.
So this guy had a broken brake light, all he had to do was listen and he probably would have been let off with a warning to get it fixed within a couple weeks.

I’ve got the college of policing’s guide to detention and custody [in front of me](https://www.college.police.uk/app/detention-and-custody/control-restraint-and-searches). It is very thorough and seems to have sensible advice throughout. At no point does it say “punch them in the face”.
