Spitting at someone is disgusting and I am surprised at the verdict. Hopefully he does appeal and it gets revoked.

Surely they can argue that's self defence.
Why can't whatever that police union thing is get him off, they are quite happy to back up officers who have done worse, like murder.

So has the other officer told on him? Or just said what he had to under oath?

Aye, let's give policemen authority to punch people in the face when they see fit. That's just what they need.
I'm not a fuck da police guy, also not a sympathiser with scumbag spitting cunts but the officer needed charged. It's a bit Daily Mail to argue otherwise.

Fucking dirty crims.
Lock him up and give policeman medal, then award damages of £100,000 for bruised knuckles.
Cunts.

The police are all bampots but if you spit in someone's face, especially the law, you not only deserve a punch in the face, you should expect it.

I hate the way society is removing responsibility for your actions as a matter of course.

There is only one way to deal with simple minded criminals. Pain related learning. Do something wrong = it hurts. They aren't intelligent enough to be taught any other way.
Good on the lad for giving him a few slaps.

A Police officer shouldn't lash out, like his colleague said. However I would of done the same. We have so much trouble in this country, because people like that don't give a fuck, and they can get away with it, the Police should be able to deal out, a bit of corporal punishment. But the dick head that got bullied at school would take it too far, to make up for their childhood.
I'd like to know what the bloke was getting arrested for.

Agreed if it was you or me, police officers have certain rules and regulations to follow though. Your average Joe shop worker would be charged the same way if a customer was to spit at them - if anything the police should be less inclined to react, no matter how much the guy deserved to be knocked the fuck out.

If I've read this right, most of the comments above are siding with the police officer that punched him 
The police officer should def face punishment. I would assume being spat on is fairly common place on a Friday night in some of this countries worst towns and cities.
Can't condone the criminals behavior, but at the same time the officer has clearly assaulted him. If a woman had spat in his face and he done the same would you still side with him?

Should have kicked him round the van while his colleagues covered for him.
I don't buy the assault is wrong flood gate of Police brutality argument. If it was actual Police brutality then I'd feel differently.
Criminals need to be afraid of the justice system, not the other way around.
