Police Called to Their Own Christmas Party

-

Police in northeast England were called to sort out a disturbance at their own Christmas party.

Three patrol cars and police dogs were dispatched to a disagreement at Cleveland Police's celebrations at the Staincliffe Hotel in Seaton Carew, near Hartlepool, the Northern Echo reported Monday.

Jennifer Taylor, a manager at the hotel, said staff had not called the police.

"I wasn't the duty manager that night but I know it wasn't us who actually called the police," she said.

The incident was a "misunderstanding" and a "verbal disagreement" between partygoers, sources told the newspaper, and there had been no violence or arrests.

Taylor added, "What I do know, which was really quite annoying, is that we had a problem with eight men who smashed up the toilet the week before and we did call the police and they sent one officer on his own. On Thursday night, there's some disagreement and no ructions but they send three cars including the dog section."

A spokeswoman for Cleveland Police said, "Police were called but were unable to substantiate any complaint and there is no ongoing investigation."

From there, the attack got worse. “They surrounded him, kicking him in the stomach,” Hammond said. “ We're not sure which kids threw rocks and hit him in the back.  And then there was two other kids in the background acting like they were runnin' little video cameras goin' 'look at the gay dude.'” “Enough is enough,” Hammond said. “It's time for it to stop.” It appears the attack on Caleb is not an isolated incident. Other parents and kids are coming forward, saying the school isn't doing enough to stop student racial slurs. Student Gillian Brockman said she was called “nig...
