You'll be dialling 999 and whining to those people you're dissing when somebody robs you. All the PCs I've ever known have been decent, hard-working people.

That said, the member of public is a cocky lippy idiot and I'm not surprised the PC was short-tempered with him. We get plenty of his ilk in the mill towns who have no respect for society.

My dad was a very old-fashioned "The government know what they are doing, the police can do no wrong, the youth of today don't know how lucky they are..." type of man. It was a bit of a shock to overhear a conversation between him and my mum in the mid-1970s. He had been doing some maintenance work down at the central police station. He told my mum that he had been repairing something in one cell when he heard loud thuds and screams coming from another cell down the corridor. He rushed upstairs to report it to the station sergeant. The officer looked stern, leaned forwards, stabbed a finger towards him, and growled "You heard NOTHING, okay?!"

It destroyed his blind faith in the police force. No, he didn't report it. Yes, he should have done!

I probably made the correct decision then! My experience was early 80s.

I don't know. I remember in the 80s the police threatened to take me outside and beat me up if I didn't tell them what they wanted to know. Didn't think anything of it in those days. Just told them what they wanted to know rather than be beat up. I hadn't done anything wrong by the way.

Aye a lot of suspects used to fall down stairs back then.

We don't know what was said or done before filming started. Accrington and its surrounding towns have far too many of these chav types flouting the law. I've just seen 6 or 7 of that type on mountain bikes in a group,which isn't allowed. The chav says the copper should be sacked. He can't even say 'i don't want him sacked,i just want an apology'. No,he wants him to lose his job. He's making a whole lotta trouble for himself!

Irrespective of what was said before the video started, there is no excuse for threatening to 'fit someone up'. Rightly or wrongly the actions of this one police officer will reflect on all the other other officers in the country. Policing is by consent, when things like this occur then the public lose confidence and that consent is eroded. The officer needs to be whiter than white no matter the provocation, especially when on camera.

I agree with the "especially when on camera bit!"

No we should be able to expect them to be all of the time, that's what we pay them for

That's irrelevant.

Disgraceful! Calling for the copper's dismissal i mean,not his actions! These chavs are a major problem around here. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co....ficer-filmed-making-arrest-threat-accrington/

I hope he doesn't lose his job and the chav doesn't get a compo payout!

Compo would have probably bashed him with his wellie

Wrong area.
Compo was Sowerby bridge- Hebden Bridge area.
Thought I would add a bit of pedantacisim.
And I don't care if the word is spelt wrong or doesn't even exist?

I'm not psyched up or anything like that. I just think a lot of people demanding he be sacked are using it as an excuse to attack the police and maybe law and order in general.

The stairs in the back of those old Ford Escort pandas were very, very slippery
