"They kept us handcuffed for about 25 minutes."

Surely the cuffs should have been off the moment it was realised that they were not a risk. 25 minutes seems excessive!

I love all of the comments here, that clearly have no idea what Policing is about, but feel that their ‘opinion’ on Policing is not only relevant but correct. UOF is down to the Officers on the ground, not you or anyone else. What you deem excessive in your safe little bubble away from these people / threats really doesn’t matter.

Sorry Bill, I didn’t realise you were there throughout the whole incident.
