Police Bashing

When the poor bloke gets to court and is convicted as he will be, the record will show him to be the thug, thats why the numbers don't add up. If by some stroke of luck he is found not guilty ( which shows the police to have acted violently and also lied ) nothing will come of it, nothing ever does.

I'm with Jac. I don't believe there are that many violent thugs in the police, though I'm quite willing to believe that individual officers occasionally - or even constantly - behave unacceptably. I'm curious, though; if you think the police force is full of violent liars given to criminal acts, does that mean you won't call them when you're broken into, assaulted, or someone mugs your granny?

I'd still call them. You never know, you might get one of the minority of decent ones.
I too don't believe there are that many violent thugs in the Police force. Most are like the pathetic ones that watched the violent thug that Jaybee witnessed.
In fact, the majority of police are dangerous because they're amazingly thick.
'We don't know the roads round here, we're all from Kent and Essex' said the officer at the desk in Borough High Street Police Station, when I explained to him that the dogs I saw attacking small children were in fact on Borough Road. I don't think any children were hospitalised that day. If they had and I'd come forward to say I reported it as it was happening, I doubt the officer would recall me saying 'they're doing it right now!'. Gaumless dick.

Wow. Maybe the Met ships in extra staff when needed, like any other organisation. Doesn't make someone a 'gaumless dick' (sic) if they don't know their way around new surroundings.

Still waiting to hear who 'silenced' Jaybee.

He was a gaumless dick for thinking it was ok to leave two dogs to attack toddlers, and they're not extra staff.

I agree, gormless is the kindest word under the circumstances!

I told someone about the dogs incident once and they shook they're head and said 'no'. It turned out they were rejecting my story. They basically were calling me a liar, though they wouldn't commit to that word. There seems to be some sort of infantile problem a lot of people have that prevents them from accepting the truth.

I have people like that in my family. Reality is often unpleasant and sweeping it under the carpet instead of facing it is endemic in our 2009 Society.

You only have to think of Bush and his 'in your face' incompetence', yet millions of American's believed that nut case was capable of making rational decisions!

In the same way, millions of Australian's chose not to become a Republic due to the scare tactics and propaganda programme set up by Prime Minister John Howard. Just to add salt to the wounds, he then organised a State visit for which we tax payers had to foot the bill. Never has anyone worked harder for a Knighthood that that sycophantic moron. He hasn't got it yet but watch this space.

I don't think all police are bad, but there is definitely something deeply disturbing about the increasing nonchalence or thuggery that many of us have witnessed first hand. In any case, they are public servants and we have every right to speak up and want answers when they appear to fail in their duty of care.

As like any other public service there are good and bad coppers. Good and bad doctors or good and bad dentists.

I know a couple of policemen at my local station who are thoroughly decent intelligent and helpful people but I'm also aware that there are some morons there too.

Problem is we can usually vote with our feet if we come across a bad doctor or dentist. When we have dealings with the police we're usually unable to disregard the policeman we're talking to and ask to deal with someone who hasn't had a labotomy.

Unfortunately it's just down to luck.

I'm starting to think there should be a Godwin's Law equivalent for Bush ...
