Police were called to Glasvey Drive in Twinbrook on 22 May where they passed a group of about 15 youths who began throwing bottles at their vehicle.
A spokesperson for the Police Service of Northern Ireland said: "An officer used the vehicle's tannoy system to play music to the youths in an effort to use humour to defuse the situation.
"The youths stopped throwing the bottles. However, police accept that this was not an appropriate action.
Sinn Fein councillor Angela Nelson told the Andersonstown News that the officer's actions "beggared belief".
"The PSNI are put on the streets to do a serious job and that is to keep order on the streets and face down anti-social elements. This is like a sick joke."

You're right, Angela. They should have used billy clubs and rubber bullets instead. Stupid bitch. :whatever:

Kudos to the cop for fast thinking, dismounting to face off against 7-1 odds doesn't seem like a truly viable alternative, under the circumstances.
