A police officer who beat a 16 year old football fan with a baton has been found dead before his trial, according to reports. Many will remember the shocking footage of a fan left bloodied after getting a whack to the head with full force following the Championship fixture against Sheffield Wednesday a few years back. The incident, which was said to have taken place outside Barnsley bus station, started off with two lads scrapping, only for an officer to run in and hits one in the head.
Mobile phone footage showed PC William Sampson, 27, running at the fan and striking him over the head. The footage, taken in February 2020, and shared online, sparked outrage and prompted an investigation by the police watchdog. PC Sampson, known as ‘Billy’, was due to face trial in March after pleading not guilty to unlawful and malicious wounding at a previous court hearing. But South Yorkshire Police have confirmed he was found dead at his home on Friday afternoon.

Maybe so OHL but back in the day we didn't all carry video cameras. Any time you deal with kids today there's always one with their phone out filming you.
it's a harsh lesson for everybody, you always have to think before you act. I'm sure that thinking time will be condemned at some point too, when a police officer hesitates and something bad happens.
27 years old, it's no time to die. Even if he ended up doing some time there was still more to live for. | |

Very sad affair, a young man has lost his life.
Seems like the thought of serving up to five years if found guilty pushed him over the edge. |  |

Perhaps you should start a poll on posters experiences, one individual's experience, positive or bad doesn't always reflect the reality of the situation | |
