Why the delay? I doubt it. Cases can take an awfully long time to get to court, particularly if there is a backlog and the current covid situation has meant that the number of cases seen per day has dropped even further. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Covid might be a reason but known plenty to be charged on the day, then sorted out in court within a few weeks. But I'll give you that.

Paul.. Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 4 minutes ago, S36 OWL said: Could you paste the article on here mate, as the stir website is unreadable. Quote The Independent Office for Police Conduct launched an investigation after South Yorkshire police bosses referred the incident to the police watchdog. A 16-year-old Sheffield Wednesday fan was left bleeding when he was struck over his head with a baton after The Owls played Barnsley at Oakwell last season. A South Yorkshire police officer has been accused of striking a teenage Sheffield Wednesday fan over his head with a baton after a game Mobile phone footage of the incident was shared online and showed a police officer striking the boy over his head, leaving him covered in blood. Police officers were monitoring away fans as they made their way from Barnsley’s ground towards the transport interchange in the town. The officer involved is still working for South Yorkshire Police but has been placed on restricted duties pending the outcome of the IOPC’s criminal and misconduct investigations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From someone who has wielded batons in riot situations hitting in a Red Area is only ever justified if you feel there is a direct threat to life. Your's or someone elses. Tell me where the threat to life was and I might say there are 2 sides to the story 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that's more effective than just whacking someone? A proper eye ramming would disable the enemy for a good twenty minutes as they fall to the floor clutching their eye with both hands, shouting 'AGGHHHHH..... MY EYE.....' 4 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
