Re: PSP Brutality - 2.5 years later
... But then again, when I saw PSP in the thread I remembered the parking thing I had a couple of months back when I (accidentally) parked in spaces that were apparently Police reserved, & a guy in civvies very politely told me on my return, while two uniforms wearing shades eyed me over from nearby. At the time I thought the sign at the end row was PPS or something like that..... maybe it was PSP..... 
I suppose that's the diffference, it doesn't strike Brits that the UK is nearly unique in having a civilian force.

Re: PSP Brutality - 2.5 years later
Finally 3 years after this disgusting attack, PSP Officer Filipe Silva is going to be present in court today in Guimarães
The charges against him have grown , not only is he being charged for the brutal attack , he is also now being accused off "Falsifying Documents & Denial off Fact's"
This link provides full info on the incident which took place
https://www.algarvedailynews.com/new...-years-in-jail
The general opinion amongst my PT friends ,is that the "higher up's" in the PSP have done there level best to kill this case off before it got this far, but public opinion happily prevailed

OMG , In todays Correio da Manha (national paper)
It's reported that this officer is to appear in another court on the 7th off this month , the charges relate to a incident that took place years ago
when somebody else got "hammered"
Seems his friends in "high places" are distancing them selves from him !

Re: PSP Brutality - 2.5 years later
Oh well it's over , more or less ?
He was sentenced to 3 years in Prison , but suspended , & ordered to pay 7.000 €'s in compensation to the two adult victims.
They are Father & Son , the 2 grandchildren who witnessed there dad & grandfather get a hammering where not brought into the equation.
Obviously the Defence Attorney stated that his client will appeal the sentence , but one off the Judges in his summing up stated
" A picture is worth a thousand words " so the appeal could be kicked into touch before it even get's off the ground.
No indication at all as what the PSP higher authorities intend to do in regard to the "officer" found guilty !

Sentence now :- 3.5 years suspended - Any public servant who is sentenced to over 3 years, automatically has they contact terminated .
The compensation stands , this recourse was requested by the Public Ministry ,as they where unhappy with the original verdict
