I appreciate that wasn’t a football-related incident but bystanders are reluctant to get involved...they can end up in trouble... Never ever get involved in a domestic. She's in that relationship because she likes bad lads and all the drama that goes with it; she doesn't want a white knight to rescue her so just leave them to it.

reddogkev Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 All depends on the psychology of the individuals and whether there first response is fight or flight. Of course, it may have been hard for the passers by to make sense of what was happening, even with just pushing and shoving it isn't always clear what is happening.

At the risk of going off topic on a football forum, I politely suggest you do your research into domestic abuse/abusive relationships before you go making sweeping generalisations about a situation you know the bare minimum about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erin Pizzey was brutally honest about the dynamics of these relationships and was mercilessly hounded for it. It happens time and time again that through noble intention a stranger steps in to defend the woman and then finds the man and the woman turning upon him. It is not worth the risk; I would always just leave them to it and would always advise any other bloke to do just that. I have tackled a mugger and was slashed with a knife for my pains so am not afraid to get involved but when it's a domestic I will just walk on by every time.

Sadly most days someone will die from domestic violence (usually a woman at the hands of a male partner). If you witness a woman being assaulted then call the police, you may just save their life.

Bar BS3 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 1 hour ago, JulieH said: Nope double time only on bank holidays I am afraid Why should police officers get paid double time on Bank Holidays..? Seems utterly bizarre to me! Is your job not to ensure the safety of supporters/the public..? Why should you be paid more for this on a bank holiday than you are on any other day..? Especially as cutbacks have led to huge issues, should this be the first place to be making some much needed savings..? I know many people get paid extra on bank holidays, but surely the career choice of being an officer doesn’t justify being paid double time to keep people safe. Many job roles don't pay additional bank holiday rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club and Country Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 11 hours ago, JulieH said: Not quite right normal pay on sundays each game is assessed in consultation with Bristol city and an assessment sent from the visiting team. Numbers of police , if any, are agreed at this consultation . It is also correct thee were 2 local pcsos who were on duty in the area also as part of their normal duty it is very normal for this level of policing at Ashton gate. We work alongside the club to accurately get the policing at the correct level. It is a reflection of good fan behaviour at home games that enables us to do this . Obvioulsy if there is a risk identified with regards to the fixture then if requested by bcfc the policing levels will increase. Saw these officers walking around the concourse before the game, utterly pointless surely they are better served outside the ground before the game..

NOTBLUE Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Walking back to Bower Ashton to get the bus after games,it has nearly kicked off a couple of times,but although we’re a bit long in tooth now,we stand our ground and it seems to fizzle out,but mainly we have a good chat with most away fans.

If the idiots were just giving it large there is not much to say . If they attacked you then that's a completely different scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many job roles don't pay additional bank holiday rates. I don't know if it's the same everywhere, but the force that a relative of mine works for (not A&S) will not have a full rota of staff working on a Bank Holiday unless they have a specific need eg a big event, often only half of the staff who would normally be on duty on that day are actually working and getting the extra pay.

That also sounds like nonsense though. Surely crime doesn’t stop/half for bank holidays..! In fact there are usually more events on, that will need policing.

RedRock Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Personally, I think the police on the street earn every penny dealing with the ***** of society and I wouldn’t begrudge them extra on Bank Holidays. Think, though, Bank Holiday payments should be funded from savings from abolishing the elected political roles of Mayor and Police Commisioners both a total and utter waste of public money.
