@Jamie-Z "Police would help resolve disputes" They did. You can't resolve a dispute with someone who is assaulting officers and trying to run away. More importantly, police are not, nor have they ever been, mediation service. Nor are they adjudicators. If you don't expect police to act like police when an elderly member of the public, accuses another member of the public of stealing their phone, then you don't have reasonable expectation.

0:24 Why can you manage to play the radio call of a dog on the lose, but you can not play the radio call of the beat cops reply? Instead we just have to take your word for it that it's what they said? Given how frequently CH4 lie, I'm not about to just trust you. Let's summarise the two narratives here and you can be the judge of which situation sounds more realistic. The MET say --------------------- Two people were arguing in the street, an older lady and a young male. The older lady was accusing the young male of stealing her phone. The older lady saw police and flagged them down, she then repeated her allegation of the young male stealing her phone. Police attempted to detain the young male to question him and search his person for the accused stolen property. The young male then physically assaulted both officers and attempted to flee the scene. At this point a K9 officer was deployed to assist in the apprehension of the now suspect. Police subsequently subdued and detained the suspect. Appropriate medical aid was rendered. At this stage the older lady withdrew her complaint and refused to press charges. Without a complaint, officers were unable to complete an arrest. The version given in this video --------------------------------------------------- An older lady and a younger male were having a civil discussion in the street about a funny, innocent mix up regarding their phones. The older lady inexplicably flagged down a police car, presumably because she thought they might enjoy the humerous story of how she thought he took her phone but really it was his phone and she was mistaken. Before she had a chance to communicate this story to them, and without any words exchanged a police officer suddenly appeared next to the young male and grabbed him by the top of his arm. Still without any words exchanged a dog randomly appeared attached to the young mans arm within seconds of the officer grabbing him. With a dog biting him, this caused the young man to fear for his life, so he started wiggling around like a worm in an attempt to innocently get away from being attacked. When asked if he ever punched an officer he replied, I never punched or kicked them, even though no one asked if he kicked anyone. He only wiggled like a worm, whilst in the middle of what he claims was flight or fight. After subduing the young man, the police said whoops, we shouldn't have done that and shuffled off like a benny hill skit without arresting the young man. 🤷 I dunno, I can't tell you which story to believe. I wasn't there and I have no skin in the game. It's up to you to decide for yourself which version sounds more realistic...
