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.
To be fair being a police officer would be exactly that, their contact would be mainly with law breakers and consistent law breakers at that.
Are they expecting to be pulling up the vicar of Dibley every day?

Mate, the abuse they take in A&E is shocking. If you've not been there you actually wouldn't believe the amount of shite they take, especially from little scrotes.That's another job I wouldn't want.

I suppose some will say they sign up for it.

There is a broader issue there with respect in society.............times have changed. Not for the best.Mate, the abuse they take in A&E is shocking. If you've not been there you actually wouldn't believe the amount of shite they take, especially from little scrotes.

Scrotes don't give a fuck because there are no consquences that they're arsed about or have parents that care.

Unfortunately I have a few times lately. One pompous young bloke was in there accompanied by two police stating he had mental health issues and if they touched him he would sue them. It's the pits in there.

What an annoying twat. At least I can tell people what I think of them nowadays.

Ha ha I get that that's why I couldn't do it it would drive me mad. I had enough grief dealing with gangs of violent fag runners and gamblers on the bandits in my time working on the ferries, not to mention the shoplifters.

And what are they doing exactly?
My Mrs told me this morning about horrific situation in Chorley (I think) where kids are routinely being several beaten up - like jumping up and down on heads and kids potentially losing eyes or getting brain damage - and the police being "too busy" to do anything about it.
I know police numbers are down, but I wondered by how much, so I did a bit of Googling. Turns out there were roughly 120,000 police officers in England and Wales in the 1970's and although that number rose in between and has fallen back, there are today about 120,000 officers.
But back in the 70's we saw bobbies on the beat, routinely. Burglaries were followed up on, always. Fingerprints taken etc. Patrol cars visibly patrolling often. Local police stations existed, and were not closed due to "cuts". And they had no technology back then to help them either.
And yet nowadays, the police have all sorts of tech to help them fight crime. And they have the same numbers of police as before. So it made me think, what are they all actually doing? Is there lack of action to combat the sort of criminality described above actually more political by them, sending out a message saying "we need more resources", rather than an actual lack of resources, perhaps? The police say they are overstretched and can't cope. Overstretched on what?
I have seen two news stories this week on top of the usual stuff that has been depressing for weeks and months now. One was the consistent dumping of actual excrement into the sea and rivers and this report on those kids getting battered filmed and ignored by the coppers. Mothers crying for their kids.
I said to the wife last night it's the final straw. Fuck people in this country and fuck those paid to protect us and make peoples lives better. I have finally given up hope its the same fucking crap year in year out and not enough people give a flying fuck.
