Bloody hell. First he fights off 3 terrorists, and then the local police officer attacks him.

[Rogero]

The man deserves a medal.

 

[MattBackHome]

He's a hero.

Hopefully the George Cross. His interview is very humbling.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

He's a hero.

Absolutely, legend. Apparently a member of the public dashed into a nearby Starbucks to get a bag of ice for his head and he told them to do one when they came back with it.

Read his story on the BBC website, and saw him interviewed, but nothing about being attacked by the police himself. Sauce, please.

Our Plod are, in my humble opinion, the best in the World.

As we run away from danger they run the other way, armed with a baton mainly.

Makes you proud it does.

I quoted my source.

I see my source has backtracked and edited their post though.

A moderator did it for him, but your quip was funny at the time.

The original thread title was ambiguous.

If you read 'attacks' as a noun it meant one thing, if you read 'attacks' as a verb the meaning was completely different.

Unfortunately, some other officer will Taser a granny next month, and they will all be bully boys again.

Praise indeed, thank you!

Plus a comma. See the quote in post 5.

Eats shoots and leaves.

 

[Da Man Clay]

He did exactly whatever any other police officer would do. Selfless to the last. Deserves the highest accolade (and will get it as wel I'm sure)

Did you see Where There's Blame, There's A Claim - Channel 5 last night?

Some black guy was first wrongly arrested in a shop, then two years later he was tasered at his home in a case of mistaken identity. He ended up £36k better off though.
