'Merika: Punch a woman in the face repeatedly when she fails to obey your command. Seize her medical records after a mental health assessment. No one is named, the incident is being investigated, nothing to see here, move along.

UK: Verbally threaten to punch a woman and knock her out: Suspended pending investigation.

Not often I feel proud to be British these days, even if it is for such a dire reason.

And actually gave his badge number - rather than arresting the person with the camera and ā€œlosingā€ the phone or deleting the footage.

Rule Britannia!

Police mannie realised heā€™d fucked up as soon as camera guy asks ā€œWhat did you just say, ā€˜mateā€™?ā€ but is such a power slinging copper he canā€™t even listen to the sense of his own brain.

You can almost see the gears grinding as he battles with himself.

He comes across as one of those semi-trained part-time police personnel that local forces sometimes avail themselves of.

Clearly he was attempting to enforce Staffordshireā€™s portrait-mode ordinance.
