I've Got A Simple Answer For Him....

...not sure he'd like it though:
Steve John, in mitigation, said his client was a "simple man who looked for simple answers" and was in a long-term acrimonious relationship. On the day in question the couple had broken up.

Mr John said: "He was running and kicking the door more out of protest than anything else."
And it's just pure misfortune that the police officer happened to be in the way of his foot, I suppose?

Yup, I suspect you're right!

These people's lives are like something out of Dickens.
