@KirstiMiller30 We called it British bulldog, but it got a bit competitive at school (aka violent) and was banned

I grew up in Wagga Wagga where the kids growing up used to play a game called "Red Rover Cross Over". It was mainly a boys game where all the boys would gather in a group at the end of the playground with one boy standing in the middle of the playground. He'd yell "Red Rover Cross Over” and all the other kids had to run to the other end of the playground without being caught. The kid in the middle had to catch and hold one of them while yelling "caught 123" The kid caught would then join the kid in the middle for the next call of "Red Rover Cross Over" during which both kids in the middle would catch another kid who would stay in the middle and so on. The last kid caught would win the game and he'd be the one to stay in the middle for next round. It was good fun (my three daughters used to play it most afternoons with me) while giving the kids exercise and training for future rugby teams or other sports. Can anyone else recall playing the same game?

@BettyBoochichi2 Seems a lot like fvck around and find out. Loss of life is always tragic, but the teen carries responsibly for his actions

An Avon and Somerset Police officer who tasered a teenager on a motorway shortly before he was hit and killed by a car is being investigated by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) over their use of force.  Logan Smith was in an ambulance, heading to hospital just after 11pm, on 30 November 2025 when it pulled over on the hard shoulder of the M5, northbound, due to concerns the paramedics had about Logan’s welfare.    The 18-year-old got out of the ambulance close to the junction for Weston-super-Mare and ran on to the motorway. Ambulance crew called police for assistance and an officer arrived soon after. The officer tried to interact with Logan on the motorway and a short time later discharged their Taser. Logan fell into a live lane of the motorway and was struck by a car, heading southbound. He was given medical treatment, but sadly died at the scene.   We are looking at whether the tactical options, including the use of Taser by the officer, was proportionate and reasonable and if relevant training and policies were followed. At this stage and having considered the evidence currently available, we believe there is an indication the officer may have breached the police standards of professional behaviour at the level of misconduct. An allegation of misconduct relates to behaviour that, if proven, may lead to disciplinary action such as a final written warning. It would not result in a sanction of dismissal. The potential misconduct we have identified is in relation to the officer’s decision to use their Taser. It is also alleged the officer failed to carry out a pre-discharge check of their Taser, as required under Avon and Somerset Police protocol. So far, our enquiries show the Taser functioned normally when discharged. The misconduct notice will be kept under review and does not necessarily mean that any disciplinary proceedings will follow.   IOPC Director Derrick Campbell said: “Our thoughts and sympathies remain with Logan’s family and friends. We understand the profound impact losing Logan has had on his loved ones and we want to reassure everyone that we are carrying out a thorough and independent investigation into the circumstances leading to his death.” “As part of our investigation we have commissioned a report from an independent Taser expert. We have shared that report with Logan’s family and Avon and Somerset Police and we are considering its findings as part of our final determinations.” “We continue to update Logan’s family, the force and the coroner on the progress of our investigation.” Link to the statement: policeconduct.gov.uk/news/avon-and-…

@owenjonesjourno @GazzaFox1980 Taser doesn't deliver constant never ending stimulation

@GazzaFox1980 That isn't what the police officer said. If you taser someone their muscles lock up in any case

Hold on - what? If police officers think someone might be carrying explosives, protocol is to kick them in the head repeatedly like this? Is that actual police protocol? If so, how is it a wise police protocol? Can someone explain the reasoning?

@owenjonesjourno Not to you, would need more crayons than actually exist

@ZoeJardiniere They need a commendation and a good pat on the back. Job well done. They will be performing an after action report to review it

You cannot tell me you watch this video and think the police behaviour needs no explanation.

@DmodosCutter Please describe in detail the tactics and equipment you would use against this man? The police did the right thing.

They should be suspended straight away. No violence was necessary!’

@TheGriftReport Boycott the store where she was sacked. FUCK Morrisons

Morrisons SACKS another worker for tackling teenage shoplifter, 62-year-old grandmother and acting team leader Jane Pilborough with 30 years service at the Newark store grabbed a 14 or 15-year-old thief's rucksack as he tried to run off with stolen chicken bites, she walked backwards in front of him asking him to pay first and called for security via her headset but got no response, Pilborough said it was pure instinct in a fight or flight moment and CCTV showed her falling to the ground when he spun around, A clearly shaken Ms Pilborough was helped to her feet and taken to the store's staff canteen after suffering minor injuries to her hand and knee. Morrisons has a strict "deter not detain" policy introduced in 2023 that forbids any physical intervention to protect staff safety with only police allowed to act, bosses sacked her for gross misconduct saying she put herself colleagues and customers in danger and risked the company's reputation if it had been filmed, her appeal was rejected in October 2024 with the firm acknowledging her care for the store but insisting she worsened the situation by not just letting him leave, A spokesperson for the supermarket said: 'We recognise that difficult situations like this can cause real challenges for colleagues in store. That's why, when dealing with a shoplifter, a colleague's safety is always the number one priority and why we have clear procedures in place to de-escalate incidents, to prevent any of our colleagues being put at risk in a physical struggle and coming to harm. 'We believe colleague safety always outweighs the protection of stock. We cannot ignore the potential for violence, and it is essential to remember that only the police are authorised to intervene in these situations. 'Unfortunately, the former colleague's actions and the evidence to the disciplinary hearing showed that, although she had been trained on how to respond to a theft situation safely just a few weeks before the incident, she did not follow that procedure and that led to a physical altercation with a juvenile shoplifter What do you think of the sacking?

@finneyzair @Padiga47 @snowleopardess @CounsellingSam @metpoliceuk Remember, you have about a minute (if that to choose and implement a plan of action before someone else gets stabbed)

@finneyzair @Padiga47 @snowleopardess @CounsellingSam @metpoliceuk Show me where the officers had access to a shield? Pava at that range would effect the officers too, don't want their vision reduced with a sharp blade in play. Taser had already been deployed, he was still combative. Any other clever ideas?

Are these "brave" officers being suspended pending an investigation into their brutality @metpoliceuk? I am pretty sure there must be a rule against kicking a man, already incapacitated by taser, repeatedly in the front and back of the head?

@finneyzair @Padiga47 @snowleopardess @CounsellingSam @metpoliceuk 100% I'd be kicking him in the head until he stops fighting

@Padiga47 @ShutterShimmy @snowleopardess @CounsellingSam @metpoliceuk Well I wouldn’t be kicking him repeatedly in the head.

@history99917180 You're welcome at our local stables Plenty of horses needs a good muck out. Can pay in mini rolls (well the singular mini roll) You're welcome. PS, not my stables, you might have to be discrete when raiding the fridge for payment

Request for help* The boss won’t let me eat mini rolls at home. Hence why my mum let me scoff them when I visited her on Tuesdays. So, I’m looking for anyone who will accommodate me on a Tuesday so I can devour mini rolls. I’m house trained. And we can talk tachographs.

@nickbailey317 Hes stabbed two people. Still combative Still holding a knife. Could he have another knife? Could he have a gun concealed? Could he be carrying explosives? Basically he's still a clear and present threat to everyone around. Officers went hard and fast to remove the threat.

The police are allowed to kick you in the head when you are on the floor now?

@finneyzair @snowleopardess @CounsellingSam @metpoliceuk What would you do?

@ShutterShimmy @snowleopardess @CounsellingSam @metpoliceuk So he could’ve had explosive and you think kicking someone would still be a good idea, what a melt.

@msjenniferjames He was the very definition of an imminent threat

@ShutterShimmy He didn’t pose an imminent threat.

The officers did amazing work up until they chose to treat his head like a football. You can’t kick someone repeatedly in the head when they don’t pose any threat. Disproportionate use of force which could have killed him. He’d been tasered and he was face down on the ground. This cannot be allowed to stand. Police cannot act as judge, jury and executioner.

@PhxraohMindsxt He was combative! He still had a weapon! Could he have had another knife or a perhaps a gun concealed? Could he have been carrying explosives? The officers went in hard to stop the threat immediately, Do you want to wrestle a torso that might be wired to explode?

I'm sorry there's NO WAY kicking someone in the head is part of detaining protocol, even for a dangerous criminal

@snowleopardess He was combative! He still had a weapon! Could he have had another knife or a perhaps a gun concealed? Could he have been carrying explosives? The officers went in hard to stop the threat immediately, Do you want to wrestle a torso that might be wired to explode?

Is this footage genuine? What the hell Is the kicking in the head of the suspect by two officers once he has been brought down? Is that the way the Met Police arrest people now?

@BladeoftheS He was combative! He still had a weapon! Could he have had another knife or a perhaps a gun concealed? Could he have been carrying explosives? The officers went in hard to stop the threat immediately, Do you want to wrestle a torso that might be wired to explode?

A reminder kicking prone suspects in the head seems to be standard police procedure.
