    The main protagonist was a Special Constable. More training or careful selection required?

      What is a Special Constable? Some sort of vigilante?

        Some might think that. They are part time volunteers.

        Although a very good friend of mine was one for a while. He did it for all the right reasons.

          Is that an excuse for GBH? I think not, and the less-than-special constables did not try to stop him.

            Of course not! But the reduced training and lower accountability might go some way to explaining how a guy with that attitude was in that position.
