Things like this remind you how strong the community was in pit villages...

I remember  story of the black panther Donald Nielson...and how the miner's helped the two cops who were struggling with him...he'd already tried shooting the cops with a sawn off...they helped as they were coming off shift at Rainworth pit...down by the chip shop...beat the f**k out of him they did cos he'd kidnapped that young lass and she'd been found dead..

I'm sure on his mug shots he's battered and bruised 

Not sure miners would have been so willing to weigh in after ‘84, and Orgreave etc.

As for nowadays, people are more likely to stand by filming with their phones. Who’d be a copper now? Public have zero respect for them. You rarely see them compared to when I was young, and when you do it’s two 5 foot nothing, slightly overweight young women getting out a van at McD’s, and who look like they’re weighed down by the uniform (PPE) and all the shit they have to carry. Doubt they could run the length of themselves and as for nicking someone who didn’t want to come quietly, you’d need about two dozen of them just to take down an average sized fit and determined man.
