Looks like it'll be good. Same producers as 24 hours in A+E?
cheers, would of missed it otherwise
bit heavy handed! I'm surprised the police allowed it to be broadcast.
Definately coppers playing up for the camera.
Jesus wept
Snafu.
Always good to learn a new acronym.
loving the fat family fight - the snafu mong woman - "just want to get me keys"! Copper - "you can **** off with ya keys!!"
Pushing over that drunk in the town centre could easily have turned out like Ian Tomlinson! I'm not impressed, although Nottingham town centre is a dump so c'est la vie.
TV bod: "Would you do anything differently?"
Chav mum: "Yes, enjoy the birthday party....without booze.....

And one so absolutely correct...
I don't think the female Sarge expected her to fall that badly however they needed to gain control of the situation asap didn't they.
Shoving the drunk toothless bloke on his own tho. That was taken personal by the officer. He could have avoided the need to arrest and the ensuing swearing!
It looks a bit heavy handed but then, if you were in the same situation could you honestly say you could deal with that level of aggression and quite honestly, repulsive type of human being with a gentle demeanor? The people being dealt with are vile and behaving in the most pathetic way possible. I think the police do no more or less than is needed.
There really are some scummy people in the world, what was with all those fat people at the birthday party for 14 year olds??!!!!
Now we have a "shit on shit crime" 🙂
Shit on shit incident 😀
😆

It dates back to WWII doesn't it?
Think I first came across it back in my Shadowrun days.
Must be a bit of a buzz though being a rioter, that rush you must feel when you throw your first petrol bomb,or brick, and then every body starts
Ace
I do hope that's a joke 😆
Great episode. Agree with the everything the police are doing!
must resist referring to any of our students as snafu...

Means Situation normal all f'ed up to military types
'kin Jessies! It's only a door!! 😆
Emma82 what about a surly gang of mountain bikers? It'd be like a Yorkshire remake of 300 😉
😯 at the treatment of the drunk in the town centre... Not saying it wasn't understandable, just surprised that; a) the copper was so agressive/assertive with him with cameras present, and b) that the police PR machine let through footage with such obvious parallels with the Ian Tomlinson debacle.
Nothing but respect for the bobbies though, always amazed at the restraint displayed in the face of such persistent provocation from such vile human beings.
Just watching it on ch4+1
I live in Nottingham 😯 😳
Wouldn't have said it was anything unusual. Zero tolerance and tbh, I can understand why.. Give em an inch and all that. Was watching with my wife at the bit where the handicapped lad had been assaulted and his dad was giving folk grief.. She thought that the "9 cops for this is a waste" comment was spot on. From the oneand only time I was just about assaulted in a wagon we radioed our control and asked for the police- I was glad they sent two cars and a vans worth to us (with lights and sirens on).. Admittedly we weren't far from a station but seeing them run up to the wagon mob handed like that was a relief at that point.
Plus, it did look like most of them were buggering off in the background once the film crew was there..
Nottingham is one of those places that does need policing robustly. I've lived all around the North of England, and was born and bred in Barnsley, but no other place has the edgy and dangerous feel that Nottingham has on a night out.
One thing I should point out about this episode is that nearly all if the 'coppers' were from the Firearms Support Group and usually only get called to incidents of the nature shown when either 'the wheel has come off' or fairly serious violence has been used.
Now I may be sticking my head a little too far above the parapet here when I say that most of these bobbys I know well, at least 3 are close personal friends; it may sound like I'm defending actions here but I can guarantee that you will never meet a more chilled out set of blokes than this lot. to put their (our) job into context, we are also the dept that have to attend and deal with fatal RTCs, and far too regularly we'll be at an incident such as you saw here tonight, and then have to travel to a family home and pass the worst possible news to someones nearest and dearest. Then, due to our 'other' job, immediately after this, we may be looking down the barrel of a gun at an armed robber, followed yet again by another incident involving some idiot who can't play nice once he or she has had a drink.
I watched this and was actually quite proud.
Well said Mildred. I rarely watch reality Police shows but recognised a lot of what I have to deal with at work on a daily basis on that show tonight. I was half expecting you to appear TBH.
Ha ha, I was lurking in there somewhere.
Watch out for episode 4!!!
pity we didn't see any road side set ups handing out seatbelt fines? 😆
good program, some quality quotes from the bizzies
Where is the pepper spraying cop?
Agree with Mildred.
If you can catch it I thoroughly recommend their other show: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/24-hours-in-ae
Its sometimes repeated on Freeview.
I grew up in Huddersfield next to Sheepridge/Fartown/Deighton - some lovely lovely areas full of lovely characters. Funnily, as a kid I was never scared of them 😆
I can usually see things from both sides of the fence (excepting perhaps the fat snafu family.. 😯 )
There were a couple of things which made the cops look a bit sketchy IMO.. shoving the toofless drunk.. and the hard faced senior looking copper..
who stated he honestly couldn't care less what 'these people' think.. taken out of context perhaps but no doubt he'll be a bit of a heart-throb for mail readers..
SNAFU
What did the S and the N stand for?
One of the best telly programmes for a while.
Well done C4.
Yunki watch 24hrs in A&E- some of the comments by the short-haired female senior Nurse were quite blunt, forthright and very honest. At first I 😯 but then agreed with her.

Thanks IHN
Situation Normal surely?
Not for the coppers clubber.
[i]Situation Normal surely?[/i]
Normally, yes, but not in this situation 🙂
Interesting... you learn something every day...
Sub Normal and Funking Useless was the full wotsit, by the way.
I don't know about what it says about the police, but i think Fat Fight Club provided a robust argument for eugenics/culling
Imagine living anywhere near that lot 😯

I laughed when they were pushing the woman away for the umpteenth time pastthe house with the For Sale sign 🙂
You used to Binners. I [i][b]still[/b][/i] do. Don't forget around the Cricket ground, Gorse Hill and Stretford there are still some really lovely loveable types 😆
