Police just force you to resist arrest .
Last time it happened to me because a coppers wife chatted me up in a pub in front of him . He was a prick in school as well .
When the van stopped me walking to the next pub i just laughed and got in . Closing time anyway and a beds a bed to me so all very amiable and no handcuffs .
The desk sergeant was obviously the pricks mate so when on arrival I said would you mind if i pee before we do the booking in he went apoplectic , actually jumped over his desk slamming me into the wall twisting my arm up my back and trying to floor me .
Obviously i was none to pleased at this but trying not to escalate the situation i remained on my feet straightened my arm and brought pipsqueak who was still clinging to it like a child in front of me to tell him calmly that theres really no need for this .He starts screaming for help and the 4 or 5 young cops in the room until now stunned by his lunacy and wanting nothing to do with it felt duty bound to get involved , albeit with little heart .
If i went down in handcuffs pipsqueak is gonna stamp all over me (first time similar happened i was 15 or 16) so checkmate , im gonna have to fight and because i didn't want to at the top of my lungs "get your hands off me or i'm going to lose my temper" Loud enough for all the old cops who knew me to come running in shouting to police let him go let him go let him go , shayne calm down mate we got this .
Chief was gutted in the morning having watched the video which had no doubt already been erased , no charges if we can forget this ever happened was his hope .
No charges to answer says me so either lock pipsqueak in a cell with me for an hour or start writing my formal complaint .. My first option was his preference but alas he couldn't do that .
6 months later i got a letter confirming that the two amiable juniors who i was laughing and joking with in the van had been reprimanded in answer to my complaint . Sometime after that one of the older cops stopped me in the street to tell me i'd cost him a promotion (for being a good guy) but he'd like to thank me because somehow it had aided his transfer to Canada ?
Wall building is a brilliant idea , personally i have a vague notion that preventing coastal erosion perhaps by building walls would be an endless and miserable no win slog .
