VIDEO: Fan left bloodied by police after getting baton to the head with full force - Fan Banter
Footage on social media shows a fan left bloodied by police after getting baton to the head with full force following the Championship South Yorkshire derby against Sheffield Wednesday. The incident, which is said to have taken place outside Barnsley bus station, started off with two lads...fanbanter.co.uk
Turns out that lad is 16 and judging by the image above - very lucky to be alive.
I think that was the day I put an official complaint into the IPC about the policing.
Would you believe it the cameras on that side of the ground where broken, the police commander picked that day for no radio conversations to be recorded. These where amongst many other coicendences. 😉
For a force which polices one of the biggest clubs in the world they really make a right mess of policing North End at Wigan.
I wont go their by train anymore as the policing is stuck in the dark ages.
If you’re on about pne police, I’m not sure what he has to do with the assault by a South Yorkshire police officer?“but they make funny jokes on twitter” all grasses, one twitter account in particular.

happened at Barnsley too. 16 year old given a severe head injury
A police officer employed by the force which has spent 30 years covering up Hillsborough. It is institutionally corrupt and hates football supporters.Didnt see previous post about the Barnsley lad before posting, but the apparent step-wise increase in extreme violence by the police is a concern. The severe skull trauma dished out by the police was unnecessary and could have killed the lad. Police are trained to disarm and subdue and if that was necessary in this instance then so be it; I wasn’t there to see the context. But this degree of violence is surprising to see in a trained and professional police officer.
I have no idea what happened. I parked in the visitor car park and left without any problems. There were a lot of police, Including the tactical support group. But it was safe and calm.
If you feel you were treated badly make an official complaint. . If children were kettled their parents must complain.
Otherwise. Nothing will change.
