This happened......
First off - a bit of background...... we live on a new estate a little bit out in the sticks and there is a group of lads about 16 ish who generally make a nuisance of themselves in the park areas or in the orchard behind our house getting pissed and smoking a bit of weed, now its not this that I have a problem with as I used to do it when I was younger - well not the weed smoking. What I do have a problem with is the state they leave the place in, smashing fuck out of the summer houses that have been built for public use, smashed glass bottles everywhere, beer cans, takeaway containers, the plastic that holds your 6-pack together, remnants of a bonfire, let off fire extinguishers, stolen nail guns from the builders compound and lots of other stuff littering the place and making it somewhere you can't walk yourself, your kids or dogs.
So last Saturday afternoon my Mrs was walking our dogs in the woods/orchard behind our house, this group of little shithouses were in their usual corner and one of our dogs went over to see what they were up to and was promptly punched in the head and had two bottles thrown at him, my Mrs was about 20 feet away, told them to leave him alone and clipped him back on his lead and walked away. The lads then followed her through the woods and into a field for about 200-300 yards throwing sticks and stones near/at her trying to intimidate her and wind the dogs up, one of them even dared his mate to 'kick the puppy like a football'.
We rang the police at 16.30 ish on Saturday, as soon as she got home....bless them they sent out a PSCO at approx 20.00 on the Monday evening - over 48 hours later!! Oddly enough she couldn't do anything so told us to ring back if they are there again up generally up to no good.
Shock horror yesterday late afternoon they were in same spot doing the same as usual, she had dogs on the lead as she spotted them and turned to walk the other way only to have a load of abuse hurled at her from pissed and stoned little cnuts. The police were rang again and turned up about 40 mins later and his attitude was appalling.
In his words......
'What makes you think they were drinking and smoking illegal substances'
Well, they were drinking from Stella bottles and it stunk of weed in the area'
'How do you know what that smells like'
Because we do
'Ah, well I shouldn't really say this but if its just a bit of alcohol we are not that bothered'
Well its not just a bit of alcohol, its the shithole state they are turning the place into and the fact one of them twatted my dog and they all threw things at and intimidated my Mrs
'Mmm, well we don't really have many calls from round here'
Oh, I know of 3 people who have reported stuff in the last 2 weeks including the building company coz these kids keep nicking their stuff.
'Oh right, I'm not a local officer. Anyway I had a walk round there and couldn't see anything'
You must not have been in the right place as you cannot miss the place they loiter, do you want me to show you?
'No thanks, I'll have another look myself'
Cue copper walking to his van and driving off. What a complete waste of space and money, a truly useless **** who clearly couldn't give a fuck. If my dog had bitten the little shite who punched him I am sure he would have been a whole lot keener to do something. I thought that 'Anti Social Behaviour' was something they wanted to clamp down on! Used to stick up for them a bit saying must be a tough job - clearly it isn't, if you don't like sound of it then just get in your van and drive off!
This has happened at work today....
About 3 weeks ago our local on duty Plod rang us up to say that a piece of signage had fallen of our old premises and 'nearly hit an old lady' and that we best go and sort it out as it was laying on the floor. My Gen Manager enquired as to whether the lady was fine and he said she was and had carried on her way.
This morning in the post we have a letter from a No Win No Fee ambulance chaser with a claim that HE was making against us. He claimes he was hit by the sign, that it broadsided him, causing him to be knocked over, grazing his ankle. He is still apparently suffereing from whiplash, back injury and constant headaches!
Abosolute BULLSHIT - his telephone call categorically stated that it nearly hit an elderly lady. If it hit him and caused him such injury that he was still suffering from it now, surely he would have been on scene waiting for us???
I think this is a case of ' I am a copper so they won't argue and the courts will take my side'
We were all flabbergasted at work when reading the letter!
