Just watched a police response to a minor disturbance.

On this occasion, I wanted to say I think they did pretty well to de-escalate the situation. I think it’s often that they don’t get enough credit for what they do. I think they did handle this one well though. No unnecessary injuries or detentions: https://youtu.be/oaPgSdFxmok

Overall I’d rate the interaction B+.

What are your opinions on police responses to disturbances in general? Do you think there needs to be more public appreciation shown for police (eg such as in the media etc?). I think these days there can be a bit too much anti police sentiment in some areas...

Not really sure I understand where the disturbance is, just a couple of guys trying to be funny for youtube.

A "disturbance" is generally violence, threats of violence or damage being caused, couldn't even go for a classic breach of the peace there.. That wasn't a disturbance :P

In case anyone cares, policing as we know it was originally created not with the intention of law enforcement, but union-busting.

And knowing is half the battle.


Yeah sure it was ;) Tell me how Robert Peel was about busting unions please :)

It would be difficult to completely make up a story, considering it's well documented lol

The legal status of trade unions in the United Kingdom was established by a Royal Commission on Trade Unions in 1867, which agreed that the establishment of the organisations was to the advantage of both employers and employees. Unions were legalised in 1871 with the adoption of the Trade Union Act 1871.

The first professional policemen, in England, known as 'Peelers' or 'Bobbies', were set up in London in 1829 by Robert Peel, the then Home Secretary, after 'The Metropolitan Police Act' of 1829.

Since the fledgeling Police Force predated Trade Unions by some 40 years it's hard to believe that it was created with the intention of union busting :|

As for the Police Forces in other parts of the world .... I don't know nor do I particularly care.
