#13 Posted by KenV puts this into perspective - not the usual hype from the Press.
One was Tasered for refusing to put his hands behind his back - perhaps a less confrontational approach by law enforcement would have defused the situation. Main complaint is about the measly tipping. 6 arrests - sounds like a quiet Friday night in most British towns these days( or Malaga or Benidorm). I have seen worse behaviour from a "Ladies" darts team!
Anybody remember Bugis Street or the Gut in Malta in the 60s and 70s?? I was in the Gut in the 70s when a US Carrier called. That was an experience of an entirely different magnitude.
The American Shore Patrol, armed with pickaxe handles, were not very sympathetic!!
