Thanks, but I genuinely think there are numerous intelligent and thoughtful people on here who have offered very wise and insightful posts-Fuck me. Somebody who knows what they are talking about. A rarity on here (apart from @bert38 , of course .....).
In the job I did make it a priority to always learn, often when the proverbial hits the fan and you need to think on your feet it’s too late then! I also recognise that soon I’ll have retired 4 years so my knowledge and it’s worth erode as things inevitably change-which can irritate when ex cops who retired decades ago pontificate on tv.
Amongst this awful awful crime it offers a tiny bit of comfort to hear of the first responders and members of the public who did so much in the face of evil.
