Lex - you are the outrageous one here - you are condemning him without full knowledge of the facts. Do you think the police will ever admit they are wrong here?

The police can easily provoke people. Police brutality in this country is common. Look at the protests in London, for example. McGowan may have been daft, he may have had a few drinks too many, but he may also have been provoked. We don't know, but those of us who know him know he is not a bad lad. Those calling for jail sentences and bans should be ashamed of yourselves.

Biscuits1972 - I do not believe you are a serving police officer, otherwise you would not be commenting on an ongoing case.
