Copper jailed for punching thug

[stosstruppe]

A policeman, who punched a 12-year-old boy so hard a colleague thought he had broken the youth's nose, has been jailed.

The court heard that Gaffney "had a sudden and momentary loss of temper" after the boy "tried his patience", claiming to have a gun in his pants.

The boy, described as "vulnerable" by the district judge, had been brought into custody along with a young girl on November 10 last year after threatening staff at his children's home with a fence post.

The pair had also been drinking vodka on the site.

the boy - who has several convictions for assaulting adults...

Ms Baxter (prosecuting) described the incident as a "profound tragedy when one weighs it against the positive good character and contribution this young man has made to society".

Fucking lawyers Ya, this kid was a real role model citizen sympathies with the police officer, saw plenty of kids as described above where I lived that had a slap coming to them for their behaviour.

he punched him in the nose for just saying he had a gun?

the report is vague, but I don't think a cop should punch a kid just for mouthing off.

Go defend yourself in the other thread! I'm not through with you!

which thread? everyone is on my case today...lol.

The kid deserved to be cracked. Let's see, drunk and threatening people with a blunt object, then you tell a cop you have a lethal weapon in a threatening tone... Probably should have given him a lolly and a welfare check.

If you would just spill the beans on your date all would be well lol.

On subject, i can see the little punk kid breaking my patience acting that way. I don't think i would have actually closed fist punched him though. That's kind of extreme.

This isn't some innocent kid that's been a victim of unprovoked police brutality after being a little cheeky, he said to a police officer that he had a fire arm in his possession, has a criminal history of repeatedly assaulting adults physically, underage drinking & generally being a neighbourhood hoodlum.

 

[puddlemonkey]

kill the kid

I blame Bush. And the jooz. Can't forget those jooz.

kill the kid

We're totally on the same wavelength here.

The kid deserved to go to jail, or whatever. Kiddie jail...lol. However, punching him when if he didn't need to for safety reasons wasn't needed. I agree.

PS -- I can't talk about the date, because it may be someone who lurks on ef...lol. ;-)

The kid sounds like a real little punk. I just don't think 2 wrongs make a right.

Don't forget that because he has no parents, it is his moral right to act like a little savage!11 He is a victim!11

Ya, in the sense that it was wrong to give the officer prison time after punching the wee thug.

The kid deserved to go to jail. The officer deserved to arrest him and be free of harm to himself in doing so. Sounds like he punched the kid because he can't control his anger when people mouth off. Kid deserves to go to jail. Cop probably shouldn't be a cop if he can't control his temper and beats people, even if the people generally deserve an ass whoopin.

100% deserved a slap. i would like to buy the copper a drink. people say violence doesnt solve anything, which i dont agree with. the majority of these little chavs dont respond to logic and reason, they respond to a punch in the mouth.
there wouldnt be so much of a problem here in the uk if coppers could still give cheeky little bastards a slap.

 

[the_alcatraz]

The kid deserved it. That's bullshit.

 

[canadianhitman]

The cop went about it the wrong way. He shoulda tackled him to the ground hard, making sure to smash his face into the pavement, under the guise of 'taking him down so he couldn't go for the gun in his shorts that he claimed to have'. Had he done that, there'd be no problem.

These little punks need to get knocked out. A little dose of reality might wake 'em up.

 

[SpyWizard]

you are correct, the parents needs the slapping raising a hell child on society..

 

[binö]

i feel for the cop, losing his career...def blew his top and overracted.
hopefully junior gets a good lesson outta this

 

[the_alcatraz]

I don't think the cop overreacted. The kid is a thug. Two years from now he'll be in juvi for kiling someone because people didn't take him seriously when the cop punshed him in the face. Instead, these dumb asses send the cop to prison for doing a good deed to society. They should reward him and throw the kid's parents in the pen!

while i agree, it's not professional for a cop to punch anybody in the face, ever.

I overheard a hoodlum ask me if I wanted to get a taste of his right hand... I asked if he was talking to me and he didn't respond... I was about to tell him that if he did, I'd pick him up and drop him on his head. Silly thugs.
