Bert’s an ex copper. He’ll likely know lots of police officers and have been told many tales of what has happened to officers all round the country.Sorry but I call bollocks. You said numerous examples. Now you either have a large number of friends who happen to be police officers or are in the police yourself. If it's the former then your friends must be the unluckiest police officers in the force as they all suffer this crime. If the latter then again your town or City must be the unluckiest in the country. The full weight of the law would come down on such a crime as it threatens democracy itself. As such instances of this happening would be big news, even if they happened in a rural hamlet. Most criminals play the game. They accept being nicked is part of it and bear no animosity. They also know to go down that route would mean a whole heap of shit following them around as every officer in that area would be permanently on their case.
Harassment and public order offences can apply in these circumstances already.You need to lobby Govt to make it illegal then if it's that much of a problem. Reacting the way officers do now is not helping.

How are these so called auditors who get arrested end up suing the police then?Harassment and public order offences can apply in these circumstances already.
and why can't officers react the same way to the kids in Chorley getting their heads stamped on?
No idea and I’m not especially interested.How are these so called auditors who get arrested end up suing the police then?

If so that adds more weight to the bones. I still don't believe it's as common as he makes out. Verbal threats from a drunk/drugged up morons being arrested that are rarely followed up I would agree plenty. Assaults while arresting such morons, again plenty. Actual vindictive targeting of individual officers as a grudge I would say is rare not common.
Thousands. But it’s more so from officers I have managed over the years that have been threatened/assaulted off duty simply because of the job they do. Of course it’s rare that somebody goes out of their way to have and undertake a personal vendetta against an officer, but it does happen.Bert’s an ex copper.

That's another job I wouldn't want. The police is the same. A lot of the time you're dealing with the dregs of society at their worse, full of drink and drugs and as a result violent and abusive.
