Don't know whether the affray conviction was for a separate incident or not but that's how I read it as well.

I had another look to make sure and it sounds like it was definitley for that incident:

Following the incident in February 2008, Francis was charged with offences of false imprisonment, threats to kill and affray.

Wait up... He only got a suspended sentence for assaulting police officers, owning firearms, threatening police officers and attacking them with knifes?

Doesnt that mean he's basically serving no time etc?

It does.

And, that is retardedly pathetic. :/

So for threatening to kill four police officers, holding a female police officer hostage and threatening her life as well as lunging for the back-up with a six-inch knife he gets a one year prison sentence suspended for two years?

Steven Gerrard punched someone in the face and the clowns in SA were calling for a prison sentence because that's what any normal person would've got for affray

But you have to think of his Human Rights!! :rolleyes:

This bloke is a tool and deserved to be properly shot and not just zapped. However, the way the police have behaved over the last few years, a few test cases showing them up to be as moronic as the crims is not a bad thing. Checks and balances otherwise we are all in real serious trouble.

That said, taze the chavvy ****!

Skyfall you are a legend.

What were they arresting his girlfriend for? That's presumably the reason he got into a fight with them in the first place...

Von Smallhausen · 27 Jul 2009 at 22:18

It is only right that the sergeant was made to answer for his shocking and unprofessional behaviour.

NOT.

~J~ · 27 Jul 2009 at 22:31

Needs tazering in the nadgers by that scary policeman.

All the policemen should be sacked, and at least one million billion pounds awarded to the Mr Cleverton in that article.

In theory, he has gotten away with less punishment than someone doing 35 in a 30.

Something is seriously wrong with this country.

Think she was ordered to seal her lady-parts up to try and curb the spread of crime, and he had trouble dealing with it as it was his only option.

That guy in the article cannot be serious...

He is.

He is serious because he knows that in a criminal justice system that leans towards the perpetrator can be exploited purely out of spite and not because he is genuinely affected or hurt.

In a common sense world he would be shown the door with a polite foxtrot oscar ringing in his ears with his leeching brief turfed out as well. It is complete and utter farce and who picks up the tab for his legal aid ?

It makes me apopletic just thinking about it.

Is all I have to say on this.

Ross1234 · 28 Jul 2009 at 00:07

Its the daily mail though so the story is probably twisted to some degree.

Can some help me understand the joke?

Of course.

The joke is. Erm, wait. Got it here. No wait that's wrong. Ah, uhm.

Can I get back to you on that?
