Security bubble

Shouldn't the question be 'Did the little scrote get a clip round the ear from his parents for being clever' or did he need to see his 'no win, no fee' solicitor followed by a therapist for the extreme trauma he's suffered?
Get over it, the kid was in the wrong and was dealt with, he'll think twice before being a smart arse again.

two young teenagers who tried to steal the torch in Coventry

Tried to steal ?? Now that comment i would expect from yourself cjhopper.Not a couple of 9year olds WALKED up to the bearer and touched it in an attempt to carry it along with the procession and thats what i saw happen there.

You guys got any courses in actually talking to people in a non violent manner ? Not screaming at them directly the get out clause 'CALM DOWN' before walloping them with a baton and forcing their hands into an extremely painful high stress position to get the cuffs on them.

I dont have to be qualified in anything chopper i just record with my eyes and judge from there.

PS
What was the kid going to do if he got close to the mythical torch bearer of all Britannia's hopes and future business contracts? Grab the torch whilst performing a trackstand

It rolls through my town this Friday. Already done a recce, and think my mates 2nd floor window should give me the perfect super-soaker angle.
Grassy knoll anyone??

i could understand the security if there was just 1 torch, but there's 8,000 of the blighters........BFON....

But only one person carrying it at a time and they have a right to be protected from some local scrote who thought it would be funny to interupt proceedings

Tough titty..he got what he deserved and will forever be known amongst his mates as ..'that daft twat"

No tears shed here

Now if we just can convince him and the tree huggers he has to accept the consequences of his actions...then all might be right with the world

this could go on for ages...

the security guy saw what he honestly believed to be a threat, he took appropriate action within the rules/laws he has to abide by, using what he believed to be the minimum force necessary to prevent that threat from potentially delivering harm to those he was protecting.
He made a split second decision which, rightly or wrongly, was nevertheless what he believed was the right course of action at that time.
Now in retrospect he may feel that perhaps it could have been handled slightly differently, but he would have the full backing of his bosses and the law in the way he handled that particular incident.

As I said earlier, it was firm, but fair.

You only have to look at the July 7th bombings in London, who would think a regular guy on the tube wearing a backpack would blow himself up? likewise, who would think a kid on a bike riding next to the Olympic torch procession might have similar intentions? it's not a risk those security guys were prepared to take.
