Seems to be some skills lacking in some of the police force, too many incidences like this happening. It seems that a bunch of police officers against one is not enough eh?

So in your vast experience dealing with these types of people and the vast amount of training you have had what would you have done to stop this out of control person without anymore people getting hurt?

C'mon Nero, you really expect an answer from the critics ?

You have already got 2 police injured. How many more need to be before they are allowed to tackle the offender ?

Or does his girlfriend need to be severely beaten up for you to OK the use of them ?

Aps the op doesnt care how many people got hurt as long as the out of control KNOWN drug addict wasnt hurt, the op doesnt seem to care that he had already jumped the counter at MacDonald’s and threatened the young staff there and who knows what he may have done to them if the police hadnt arrived..... 

The op doesn’t seem to care that most of the staff at MacDonald’s are your people, 

Wonder what the ops attitude would be like if it was one of her kids working Macdonalds and an out of control KNOWN drug addict jumped the counter and threatened her kids.....

I don't have any experience nero, I'm a mother and an eBay seller, I try to do that job well if you have any questions in this regard.

Was this out of control person carrying a weapon? Were the police feeling physically threatened? Maybe they should learn some kung fu LOL

It doesn't matter if he was carrying a weapon. He had already assaulted his missus, was "having a go" at the staff at McDONALDs,

was obviously fired up, it is the Police's job to enforce the law, preferably without getting hurt themselves although with Ice people, that can be hard.

"Maybe they should learn some kung fu LOL"

That beggars belief.

I recall about 40 years ago, having a "mechanical threshing machine" of a baby not wanting to have a nappy put on him.  He wanted his freedom.  He thought it was fun.  He was testing the boundaries.

 I was 5 times heavier than him, and I struggled, trying not to hurt him.  (Nothing like those docile babies on the adverts, smiling and cooing at mummy!)

No I didn't straddle his legs, nor did I pin his chest with my knee.  I got kicked in the eye.  But I persisted, and inadvertently pricked him with the safety pin.  Ouch.  I cried.  I had hurt my precious baby. But I got that nappy on him. And he ran off to play.

He kept still thereafter when the time came for me to adjust his clothing.  And I love him to bits.

Had it been me or the war department (lefties both)  he wouldn't have had the opportunity to do it a second time.  Your willingness to permit it speaks volumes.

Excuse me?   What a disgusting remark.

What do you think I should have done?

---

No answer yet?

Perhaps the kudos givers of similar character will answer?

---

Nothing?

All cowards?

fgs  Donna:

"Two police were injured and had to be taken to hospital for treatment as a result of trying to arrest this man."

He had been on 3-day ice binge

abusive toward his girlfriend and tried to kill her

Jumped the counter at McDonald's and threatened staff

injured two policemen as they tried to arrest him

capsicum spry didn't subdue him

had to be tasered

and you can joke about police need more training or need training jiu jitsu?
