A stunned British man was set upon by police in broad daylight in Manchester city centre after simply walking along with a baseball bat he’d just bought – still sealed in its factory packaging.
Shocking footage that has gone viral shows the scene unfolding near a Barclays branch, with a lone officer first grabbing the man before the confrontation spirals into a chaotic scuffle involving multiple officers, motorcycle units and a police van.
The bat is clearly brand new, plastic intact. Owning one is perfectly legal. Buying one from a shop is perfectly legal. Walking home with your own newly purchased sporting goods is not a crime. The man had broken no laws.
Yet Greater Manchester Police treated him like a public menace. One officer moves in aggressively. The man resists the over-the-top intervention. What follows is a prolonged, clumsy struggle that lays bare the state of modern British policing.
The initial officer struggles visibly to control a single average bloke who isn’t even swinging the bat or attacking anyone. He can’t take him down cleanly. He can’t get the cuffs on. Backup is called. More officers pile in. The man is eventually forced to the ground amid a growing crowd of onlookers. Pepper spray is reportedly used. A van arrives to cart him away.

Remember how your Little League Coach taught you how towering the bat with your whole body, including your hips?
Imagine all that twisting force applied at the square inch of your elbow on his jaw.
Devastating.
Towering = to swing
UK Two-Tier Policing ping!
Occasional pings follow developments in UK's oppression of its native citizenry in favor of its foreign-born and recent immigrants.

Good for them.
I don’t blame you.
No, because I was never a sportsball person; but the prior thought was about an elbow, and I follow the principle.
If you like a martial example go lookup one or a couple examples of “Naihanshi Shodan” (woo there are a bunch of different ideas on the vid streaming sites) but all of them employ this idea. Japanese words irrelevant; you’ll get the idea.
Yeah, but what was his batting avg?
“Like the Keystone Kops. The bobbies mess up nonstop.”
Nope. They know exactly what they’re doing.
Wow, British chicks sure are fat and homely.
Guy should have flipped that little dork cop and walked away.
They could have been told the bat was kitchen equipment for tederizing meat, They would have understood. Meat in the U.K. is like shoe⅔ leather.
What was her reaction to that?
Even TOUSI left the UK.
what’s the destination?
Police work for the government-state, in general they are not your friends. My uncle, a state trooper for 37 years said Never talk to the police, I have always taken his common sense advice.
Those cops over there are going to become targets of some pretty severe repercussions. A growing number of Brits...real Brits just ain’t having it.
Those cops will have earned it.
Until at the end when a citizen helped the cop by putting the citizens arm across his back. I was thinking - wth are you doing?
Forced islam.
When in the course of human events, something, something, a whole lot of dead kingsmen.
