But wasn't that because he didn't want to press charges?

Outrage as teenager spared jail after 'violent attack on defenceless police officer'

Except that.....wasn't it only last year we had that copper sat in his car in Lancing when a member of the public reported shoplifting and the assault on a female at a local co-op (about 40 seconds drive away) and the copper refused to go because he "wasn't response" and if he went to the incident he "would have to deal with it".
Never saw any follow-up to say that the copper had been kicked out (a constable's priority is "the preservation of life") so I assume he wasn't. Not a good look is it? Report on Today this morning echoing OOM's comments that despite paying all his dues, the police do nothing when he has cause to contact them.
Get the PCSOs out of cars and get them walking the beat, working in local communities, like they are supposed to be doing.

I was chatting with a Crown Court judge about 20 years ago and he said “If someone comes before you for assaulting a police officer, they should expect to go to jail.”
That would be for Common Assault, the lowest of the three categories. This scumbag was done for Grevious Bodily Harm, the highest, and I am at a loss to see how immediate custody wasn’t imposed “pour encourager les autres”.
He was 19 years old….. adult?

Yes it is, as a recently retired cop I can say there is little real experience left on frontline policing, mostly young kids with minimum experience burning out in matter of a couple of years. A consequence of only recruiting a very small demographic of graduates or those willing to study for a policing 'degree ' meant many people not fitting into that narrow category were put off joining. Meanwhile conditions on the frontline got so bad anyone with experience moved on or got promoted out of there. They cocked up the recruiting for about the last 10-15yrs and here we are left with kids in uniform.

While there are some disturbing parts and also some appalling behaviour, I still find this one of the best comedies on the TV. There was the great line last night about the guy at the bottom of St James' Street being 'balls out half naked'. I also probably shouldn't have laughed when they were trying to arrest the woman and the young copper yelped "she bit me and then headbutted me".

They do all the things you mentioned and more.
Many places don’t have police stations anymore. Such as lancing.
PCSO’s, like many of us on here, use cars to get to their place of work.
