Where have all the police gone?

[KS55]

I'm sorry, but I am struggling to understand that comment. First of all I read your bit about 'exaggerating for effect' I got that. But on the grooming gang issue: well I have never considered the failure to deal with that as an example of racism, quite the reverse. It has been alleged that the perpetrators of this abuse considered the girls as 'white trash' and treated them as such. But surely that is racism from the men towards the girls.

That it wasn't investigated with the vigour it should have been, nor prosecuted through the legal system as well, are examples of 'political correctness gone mad' or as you put it 'better not upset this minority and cause racial tension' or have I misunderstood you?

Police these days have almost all gone through University - I would suggest that to have done so whilst holding 'neanderthal views' would be very difficult indeed. Although as in all walks of life there will be some bad eggs. However, as I said earlier, to suggest that the police are on the one hand like the blokes from 'Life on Mars' whilst simultaneously 'woke', to coin a mis-used phrase, doesn't make sense to me.

I would suggest the majority of Police are right-thinking (as in modern, not political right) but are under-manned and over-worked especially in relation to documenting everything that has happened.
Because of the opportunity to sue and claim compensation, things have to be oh so correct. I work with troubled young people and very occasionally we have to use the techniques of restraint that we have been trained in. It's a bloody nightmare though if we do, because of all the follow-up paperwork that has to then be done and even then, we have a few days of worry in case an unfounded allegation is made. It must be 100x worse for the Police.

I'm not saying Gene Hunt had it right by the way, back in 1973, beating up suspects and patting the bottoms of WPCs ain't right either, but there must be a middle-way.

Finally, I would say this though - if I was in the police and two calls came in - one a complaint about some facebook issue or a twitter thing and the other call was a knife fight or a riot. Well I'd be putting my hand up to deal with the online thing! And that was never a choice, back in the past.

Let me give you an example. The MP for Keighley where this sexual assault behaviour was rife campaigned for 4 years to get it stopped and investigated without success until channel4 took it up.. The police said it wasn’t happening and her own agent said she was a racist. The reason for this attitude was that the police and others thought it was standard behaviour amongst Asians. That is the racism in the police but the motivation is also driven by the woke assumption that it was ok and normal for Asians to behave like that (presumably because they were uncivilised!) and that calling it out would cause undesirable racial tension. It was a major battle hereabouts.
It is quite common for people to imagine themselves as morally superior (woke) while actually indulging in reprehensible behaviour. Noble cause corruption….the end I’m trying to reach justifies the means.

As its all on social media, TV and you have actual witnesses one needn't be fucking sherlock Holmes. How much help do they need to arrest someone?

Unless of course Mourinho has brought his dog over to the UK again. That's half the sodding force round his house.

Those Portuguese dogs are ones for the watching. Happy go lucky Cunts, would perish here in no time. Or sooner.,

I get coppers being busy. I get underfunding But I would like to know how many other crimes are more important not just in an immediate response but even bothering at all than a young kid having her head stamped on.

Its just plain fucking wrong and whatever shithead said sorry unless they have brain damage nowt we can do needs fucking off.

Preferably in a none public role as someone might be mean to them.

There’s busy and there’s completely overwhelmed by the volume of jobs-many of which are equally important. As I already said the public deserve better but your ire needs directing at those responsible for this crisis in policing, not the poor sods chasing their tales day in day out.

Had several experiences of burglary recently on our estate.

Up until the last time the police have been the most disinterested, incompetent service, I think I’ve ever seen.

Weren’t arsed at all at finding anyone, wouldn’t come out to try and arrest the guilty parties, despite them still being on my road, just totally useless.

The last time they managed to arrest four people within 24 hours and the shock nearly finished me off.

I'm curious,for those slagging the Police......Why haven't you ever joined up yourself?

Even better you can even go on his channel and tell him personally if you want. To be fair that sergeant was psychotic and I'd dread to think how he acts when no cameras or witnesses are around.

He wasn’t psychotic he sounded stressed and struggling to think of any powers. We have no idea what he was already going through but he will likely be getting it in the neck from his under pressure DI and having to deal with his stressed out DC’s.

And then he has to deal with that tit who was doing everything to provoke a response.

A) Because when I was at an age where they’d have had me they were good and I wasn’t slagging them off. I’m far too old now.

B) You now have to have a degree to join, which is fucking ridiculous.

That doesnt answer why you didnt want to join....surely,there would have been even more reason if 'they were good'.

Criticising then,not slagging.

Yes,it really is.....fucking backwards in fact.

So you are saying when these incidents happened and in the following weeks there were more important cases to be dealt with. Tell me which cases were more important that they took up the whole resources of that police force and how someone saying nowt gets done without brain damage is correct.

Also note I haven't blamed individual coppers and we can go with plenty of examples of the police not doing their jobs if you like.

As someone who did the job your bias is understandable it happens with every profession on here. I have no reason to attack the police unless I hear something I find unacceptable.

I have grandkids and strangely enough I don't want them assaulted while coppers seem to think it's not quite a high enough priority.

When stories like this occur it's amazing how eventually some high ranking copper eventually accepts mistakes have been made and they must do better.

Until next time.

I mean the police don't have form for this do they?

Slightly unrelated (I really do hope!) is that there is wholesale "cheating" going on in the NHS with doctors surgeries.

For example, at my local surgery, there are around 15 GPs. None of them - and I mean that literally - none of them, work more than 3 days per week. You can check it on the publicly viewable roster. It might 3 full days, or maybe 2 full and 2 half days. You get the picture. 3 days total, max. And yet they receive full GPs pay.

When questioned about this, the response is that they do their full 40 hours on the 3 days. This is a lie. If you go past the surgery at 07:00 there are no cars in the staff car park. Ditto 8pm at night. No-one is doing 13 hour days.

I seriously hope this is not a pattern in the police force where officers are basically turning up and doing bugger all, or off on some other training course about how to remove fluff from your naval.

i asked for my repeat prescription last friday went to the chemist today they havnt recieved it from the docs.i rang up and they said the docters are busy.i said doing what as they arnt seeing patients.she got a bit arsy then.i said before covid i would send it in and it would be done same day.

Bookmarked for the next time you say anything negative about anyone or any institution on here on here:-)
