It's not just the police that get on like this. I was in a and e all night in Belfast over a month ago and there were a couple homeless people in. One guy fell asleep on the chair and then fell onto the floor so the nurses kept checking on him after several hours of the guy going back to sleep on the floor, two security staff came over and started giving him abuse and psychically moving him about so another homeless guy tried to intervene telling them not to manhandle the guy on the floor. The two jobs worth security guys didn't like that so then they got nasty with the guy that intervened. The two homeless guys ended up walking out about 6 in the morning. I was sitting beside a couple who were disgusted with the actions of the security guys which was nice to see.
