Guest pelmetman Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 8-) (lol) (lol) Police use CS spray in playground fight Police used CS spray to break up a fight between parents in the playground of an infants school. The fight broke out at Penryn Infants School in Cornwall as children waited to be collected. Devon and Cornwall Police said some people began "behaving in a disorderly way". Officers were forced to use captor spray, a pepper-based CS spray, on a man who was allegedly assaulting a pupil's mother. A man was arrested and has been released on bail until July, pending further inquiries. The spray is believed to have been deployed in front of children in the school playground during the incident last Thursday. A force spokesman confirmed that the spray was used in the playground. He said: "The use of CS spray is an effective tool for officers, particularly in public order and violent incidents, in order to prevent escalation of an incident, to bring it to a swift conclusion and prevent injury to victims and innocent members of the public." No-one from the school was immediately available for comment, but it is understood the head teacher has written to parents about the incident. "It is a matter for the school because it happened on the school premises," said education authority Cornwall Council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Must be all that rain in Cornwall softening the brains! We used to help run a boy's football club when we lived in Redruth in the 80s and there was always more aggro from offended parents who thought their son should either be in the first team, play in a different position, should not be substituted, than ever there was from the lads themselves who often showed more common sense than their parents and were very often embarrassed by the antics on the touchline! Parents eh - who'd 'ave 'em!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
