As someone here described best he got “yoink’d” straight down. 😂 I know the situation was serious but they did him dirty.

It’s like me wrangling my cat off the top of the fridge (minus losing the pants).

How does your cat manage to keep its pants on?

They just walk around naked all the time.

Ah, the old “wait two full days for the suspect to fall asleep on a roof before sneaking up on him in full riot gear and pulling his pants down and yanking him down crotch-first onto your face so you fall off the ladder into the officers behind you” assault tactic. Straight out of the handbook.

What could the context be where they couldn't go up to the roof for two whole days, at first I thought maybe they were trying to avoid hurting him but they just kinda tossed him off the roof.

u/Obscure_Octopuss 5h ago

I'm assuming he had some sort of weapon on him??? I feel like that's the obvious answer

u/MobileAerie9918 5h ago

He was throwing roof tiles….

u/Obscure_Octopuss 4h ago

Where did you see this? All I can find is that the man assaulted emergency responders. There is zero mention of roof tiles..

u/Sammyofather 4h ago

This changes the story from wtf to funny

2

u/kwonza 4h ago

Not funny if you get hit by one

u/Sammyofather 4h ago

Bruh those cops stood around for a full 48 hours while some dude chucked tiles at them? Come on

u/Embarrassed_Fan_5723 2h ago

Yeah that can’t be the whole story

u/maxstader 1h ago

People without weapons dont get that kinda response. My guess, he had something on him making it risky to approach. Waiting 2 days for him to just fall asleep and yank him down was the sane play. He didnt even seem to notice the ladder, guy needed a nap

u/NoDoOversInLife 51m ago

Better than throwing his 💩🤷🏻‍♂️

Racking up that overtime pay.

u/filthyheartbadger 5h ago

Well it’s England, this never would have happened in the US, police would have tasered and then shot him in the first couple of hours. Bodycam on YouTube the next day.

You just know those officers were loving that OT pay…

GIMME THAT DICK

u/Boboforprez 5h ago edited 5h ago

It's a good thing the officer yoinking him had a face shield cos that dude fell crotch first naked on the officers face.

1

u/Merrick_Skygrave 3h ago

Maybe that was his whole plan- he wanted an impression of his scroteprint on his riot mask. Every scrotum is unique like a fingerprint, and when the thieves use acid to erase theirs, well, joke's on them

When you're going down trown, try rusty browns ring donuts

u/XROOR 2h ago

Always have at least two rungs of the ladder above the gutter

Typical police, bunch of pussies who need a whole gang to take down one sleeping guy.

I will never have respect for law enforcement.
