Honestly beyond parodyÂ

That is a confusing read, why the hell would the thief go back to the bus?
Would have thought he would have legged it once the necklace was retrieved.
Sucks for the driver but I get why he got fired for the punch and restraining the guy, leaving the bus unattended with the engine running could have got him fired any itself as well.

we should have given this man a medal. The police themselves said he acted proportionately. Horrible country where the good people suffer consequences

I sort of get the point about leaving the bus unattended with the engine running, but a warning would surely be sufficient.
Utterly ridiculous other than that.

The fact that the driver s actions were even questioned says more than anything.
We lost any bearing to common sense.

Oh for goodness sake, really?! The police said the driver acted proportionately, and the public are behind him. What a ridiculous outcome

Hopefully he’s now got another job at a bus company that isn’t run by idiots.

The UK is going down the path of: The surveillance of China, but none of the safety.
People keep losing more freedoms but it gets unsafer and more lawless

Punish the people who try to intervene. Eventually noone is going to want to intervene on anything and crime will be rampant, especially with the little resources the police have. What a sad state of affairs. Maybe the operations manager should shake some criminal’s hands.
