The mace might have been a bit much, but man he became a lot more responsive after it. Wonder if he socked Neil when he got out of lockup.

I don't think the pepper spray was too much (doubt it was CS gas). I can't believe he basically maced the other cop.. usually everyone backs the hell up. How the heck was this scrawny kid overpowering two good-sized cops? It gets real dangerous for everyone once cops start wrestling with someone.

Are Neil and Chav famous, or is this just a version of Cops (tv-show)

Good Neil.

I just felt really sorry for his child. If i was his age, and a saw my dad being forced to the ground, manhandled and maced, i would be shocked/upset. I'm not saying the police did wrong in this, i just really felt for the kid.

Police need to stop using the aerosol spray in favor of the foam spray, or learn to use the aerosol ones right. Looks like the other cop took a nice blast that time...

chav is British slang for a certain subsect of society, and i think Neil is the dude standing off to the side watching it go down.

It's pretty hard work getting control of someones hands, Joe, if they really don't want you to get a hold of them. They're also trying not to hurt the guy too bad, which'll makes it a bit trickier.

It won't be pepper spray joedirt, it is illegal

I'd use a roll on.

If it is illegal for citizens, does that mean the cops can't have it. Like assualt weapons, etc. So if not pepper spray, what is it?

Section 5(1) (b) of the firearms act 1968 prohibits any weapon of whatever description designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid, gas or other thing. Bouncer Spray does not contain any substance deemed to be noxious in a court of law within the UK and the tin itself is not designed to discharge a noxious substance.
It is not prohibited by this law and does not fall within the control of firearms legislation making it legal.

So Chav =~ "Ganstah", eh?

Basically yeah, chav means wigger gangsta idiot, it's not the name of the guy arrested (well, maybe it is). It's nice to see some justified police brutality on here, that guy got what he deserved. I think Neil (assume that is the other guy) did the right thing not getting involved, the only thing is that he should have got the child out of there. What's with the camera? Is this a TV show, or was there someone near by hoping to get some valuable footage? The quality is a bit too good for a video phone.

I think the bald copper will be having words with his partner on spray usage

it IS CS gas. CS spray is the only spray UK police officers are allowed to carry. Pepper spray, mace is not legal (for police or public) in the UK

@Quboid: If I didn't know better, I would suspect it's a Brit version of "COPS", esp. with the blurring of the kid's face, but that's just speculation since I don't even know if such a show exists there...

There are some similar versions but this doesn't look like one of them. It would have had comentary on what the spray was etc.
