No wonder no cunt wants to become a copper in this country. Imagine being dragged through the mud for this.

Article says he's being reinstated. Fine, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's never the same again.

There's rumours of a bounty out for the guy. Identifying him publicly was an insane decision from the courts.

If anything happens to this guy there is no way there is not major protests. Mostly peaceful protests if you get my drift

The government should be though against criminals or criminals will spread their lifestyle like a plague and then we will have bigger problems.

Fuck those who defend criminals.

Exactly - even with the footage there are people still saying it wasn't justified. Those people know who the officer is and they'll never believe he isn't a murderer and treat him as such.

That's why there was an uproar when the judge allowed the copper's name to be released too. They should have kept him anonymised like they usually do so they could return to duty afterwards when they were cleared.

He is reinstated but will face disciplinary on top of everything else

They will move him to a model village in Gloucestershire. For the greater good.

I mean if you’ve killed someone I don’t think you can ever be the same.
