I can just imagine the radio call to control...
"Back up required for an escalating public disorder, make it quick and bring the Mr Whippy machine."
To be frank, most younger police that I have met in the last few years have been downright thick ,badly spoken and seemingly undereducated ……..I think there is quite a low common denominator at rank and file level.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youSome Police officers astound me with their ability to de-escalate and keep calm. Others are arses, but bear in mind that they are all human and have good days and bad days. The hope is that on their bad days they don't get it too wrong, and if they do there are processes in place to address the problems.
That aside, a lot of kids do need to learn some respect it seems, but I'm not sure fear is the best method of teaching it.
I know what you're saying, but having blind faith that just because someone is in a position of authority they are automatically beyond reproach is ridiculous.
Offset "(Emp) - a little heavy on the hyperbole."
When the camera starts rolling here the Bobby is surrounded and being intimidated by a large group - albeit youngsters. It's already gone beyond the sit down and talk stage.
Thousands of police officers across the UK have not had up-to-date background checks to ensure they are suitable to serve.
Figures reveal 90% of officers employed by one force have not been vetted in line with current policy.
Vetting aims to help prevent corruption in the police by checking an officer or potential officer's background.
Her Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary Mike Cunningham said forces "need to address this matter urgently".
Responding to a request from the BBC under the Freedom of Information (FoI) Act, Northumbria Police admitted almost 3,000 or nine out of ten of its officers still had not been vetted in line with the most recent policy.

The kids I work with would probably make most people cross the road or lock their doors. If you get to know them though, you realise that behind every one of them is a heartbreaking story that doesn't excuse their behavior, but it certainly makes it more understandable. Some of mine would rather spend the nights on the street being anti social with their mates, than go home to a coked up mum or older sibling and get beaten up just for looking at them the wrong way.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youThis same group of officers have probably had to deal with a group of drunks on a Friday night and talked them down without pushing them and yelling at them.
Men like him perhaps could come back as civilians and teach these crackerjacks a few simple lessons in how to police.
Viable tools you can use include, but are not limited to:
Taking a step back and not showing aggressive body language
Talking calmly and requesting that they do the same
Using humour
Asking open, non accusatory questions
If all of these fail, things can go one of two ways. First I would change the dynamic by tagging in someone else (We do this all the time, you'd be amazed at the difference a change of face makes. The person they've had a problem with us no longer involved)
If that doesn't work, and there really is no other alternative because people or property are in danger, we might restrain for as short a time as possible and get the young person somewhere safe and away from others. Usually within 5 minutes of this happening they have calmed down. You can combine tks with a tag. The person or people doing the restraint immediately tag out and someone who hasn't been involved comes in to the room to take over and talk when they're ready.
These are a mixture of taught skills and soft skills. In my view it should be mandatory for all community police to be trained and assessed in these skills.
Never, and I can't believe I'm having to say this, should you threaten or swear. You should always be the one on control and demonstrating that you are.
Showing kids like this that you think the problem can be solved with violence, intimidation and confrontation is not a good idea.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youi worked as a teaching assistant with 14+ students for ten years before becoming a teacher myself. I have seen a lot of brilliant teachers have very bad days and I have been there myself.
i don't do it now. In all honesty, I knew I was only ever one bad day away from a situation like this

Of one thing, I am certain. Strike or kick one law enforcement officer and, somewhere between your arrest and the police station, the compliment will be returned several times over. (No cameras in the van.)
I'm not saying that I agree with this but it is what happens.
EDIT: One surprising aspect of the video recording is that the full-time law enforcement officers did not "neutralise" the person with the camera at the earliest opportunity.
