He has not been disciplined as of yet. We’re sure they’ll find a way to justify it.

What ever happened with situation? Was officer Cadwell reprimanded and was the young man given an apology and did the police department admit his ignorance?

In this country (the UK) it is illegal to hunt live quarry with hounds(drag hunting is permitted on a laid trail) but the hunting people are corrupt and have money and the Police instead of ensuring the hunters do not break the law in most cases try to prevent the anti hunt groups from documenting illegal activity although the ant hunt have had some successes like the peaceful streets but not enough. The most violent in this activity are the terrier men or hunt supporters who are hired as thugs by the hunters. There are a number of anti hunt associations now across the country despite the problems they face. The anti hunt people known as sabs (short for hunt saboteurs). Due to the actions of the hunts the sabs all cover their faces to avoid identification by the cameras of the hunt , this is for their protection as the hunt have been known to single out individuals whos face or identity they have got. The sabs have not got around to using drones but it would be a good idea. And why cannot Peaceful Streets activists adopt some disguise to hide their faces ?? of course I mean those not yet known, and have they devised a shortened term for the activists like the anti hunt have ??? just a thought.

We love ideas. The problem is we have way more ideas than volunteers.

I do not mean the UK Police to chat to the U.S. Police or for them to get involved in the Peaceful Streets activity on the streets . The British Cops would give talk or whatever and maybe answer questions but not meet up with American cops . They could for example comment on a handful of incidents , and say how they would handle the same situation. For example the British Police do not carry guns , they do carry truncheons (what you call billy clubs), tazers and pepper spray but I do not know if that is widespread as I don’t see that many. As for guns we have what are called Tactical Police they are the ones with guns called up if needed. Anyway my idea was just an attempt at something new or a new direction to go in and needs working out more if ever considered.

Interesting idea. We do not work with police but I think it would be worth the effort for some of them to try.

I am a British citizen but I am both shocked and interested in such sites as Peaceful Streets and Copwatch etc .Most of the time I cannot believe what i’m seeing with regards to Police behaviour, accountability, seeing overweight and unfit cops , aggressive and totally unsuited to the job, sloppy uniforms, lack of knowledge how to handle or interact with the public, half trained etc. . To be honest most of them should be sacked on the spot as a liability to the tax payer as they are not an asset. But I was also thinking over an idea where a group/delegation of British Police could be invited to America to give a talk or advice or a better way of Policing . I mean such groups as yours or others could invite them for a short stay to do talks, to observe but not get involved with interactions with American Police. I realise my idea is sketchy and needs more thought but it may be beneficial in some way???.
