Over-Policing at Football Matches 'Contributes to Fan Tension'

The WMP are awful- or certainly have been in the past- I have had problems there a few times (Had to hitch hike home once with a mate as they nicked everyone else on our mini bus including the driver!) They still seemed heavy handed on more recent visits, although maybe not as quite 'up for it' as a few years back. And yes I really do think some of them were genuinely 'up for it' and wanted trouble.

They`ve never forgiven us for the Walsall playoff game when things didn`t go their way.

We have a justified reputation for football violence.

Unfortunately that usually means that everywhere we go the said police force for the area whete 6the game is being policed, well let's just say, they seem to be somewhat "pumped up".

The real firm are dressed in black, have truncheons, cuffs and often have a premeditated lust for violence; especially when under pressure and often in situations where they have very little training and ZERO life experience, this is when they become thugs with battons hitting out at ANYONE in their way.

I like many of mates, have NO respect for these cowards, it's no wonder why the country has the problems it does, the kids have no respect for these thugs in uniform. If only the masses knew how the police acted on the streets of our city's, it's a joke!

I mean the individual, although of course a Commissioner falling on his/her sword like the CEO of a newspaper or an oil company might encourage a change in policing tactics.

It certainly would- but more realistically an individual.

Without wanting to get political, there are those who shall we say lack faith in IPCC.

It's fair to say there are as I said there are some solicitors who if not quite specialist, are very hot on police misconduct and the like.

This IMO, would be an excellent avenue to look at. If wrongly accused, especially if a perception in a football setting that the police are 'trying it on', the FSF Faircop are very good at this. Amanda Jacks I believe is quite high up.
