I'd like to think i'm a reasonable person, not prone to violence but if someone spat in my face they would get hit. Repeatedly.

But while not very physical it is far more disgusting than a punch in the mouth!
I'm in agreement with those who say the world has gone mad. :evil:
If two innocent men were walking down the street and one spat in the others mouth, the spitter would deserve a punch in the mouth from the spittee. No question.
This situation is not as open as that one. The policeman is trying to do his job and gets a mouth of gob for his trouble. While the guy being arrested has rights he broke the contract by gobbing at the arresting officer. I cannot stand police brutality, but no-one in any profession should have to tolerate being gobbed on. :x

But didn't a certain John Prescot punch an egg thrower and get away with it. Spitting is much worse than egg throwing.
Who knows what germs he could given the policeman?
The policeman should have just got a written warning on his police record.

...I think the pertinent point is his colleague giving evidence against him; easiest thing in the world to 'not see' the incident.
I miss the good old days when retribution was swift and effective; don't bother castigating me for it either, I grew up in a better world than I live in today!

If someone spat in your mouth, what would your reaction be?
You would have to be a bigger man than me to 'rise above it'.
