scothunter 12,609 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 It is a serious crime assaulting an officer. That's why most sane people don't do it. Same reason why most sane people don't kill people, And keep hand grenades in thier home. Although there some that would think that's perfectly within thier rights lol we have sentences for the unlawfull killing of another person, no need to confuse that or piss people off by judging the length of sentence, by your standing in the community.

PlasticJock 539 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 In my book assaulting a nurse/firefighter/paramedic should carry a higher sentence. Police like the attention when they carry all the gear, but moan when it doesn't go their way (Plus it's never their fault). Should assaulting a soldier not carry higher penalties? Like, I don't know, when the guy returned from Iraq and had is head kicked in by 3 coppers? Can't have it both ways I'm afraid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticJock 539 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Lol I meant they're happy to spray someone with what is technically a firearm, because said person raised their voice slightly, but now need extra protection in case someone goes for them? Not to mention if someone defended themself I'm sure the police would have no objection to fabricating statements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alimac 882 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 What there trying to get at is that if folk think they can get off lightly with killing a copper then the general respect for the uniform will disappear which would slowly but surely lead to decline in society. There there to do a job to protect me & you. At a guess all the police haters have lets say a few pages on there record, is that the laws fault, hmm, no its yours for being stupid enough to get caught.. I'm sure that if there house got screwed or your motor got nicked you'd be onto them quick sharp.. Do I think it's worse killing a copper than a average joe, yes I do, do I think they should receive a greater sentence, no.. Am I bothered that il get good old Internet abuse for this post, hmmm, no 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticJock 539 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Alimac I can hold my hands up and admit my own stupidity however every day the police break their own rules and constantly get away with it. The amount of bullshit evidence drummed up and miscarriages of justice, not to mention armed police's appealing record of murder (sorry, unlawful killing), is obviously going to piss people off! What if a copper grabbed me, I pushed him, and he died after hitting his head on the ground? Does that make me a 'cop killer' in need of raping by the courts? My point is, you can't have it both ways. If you want to be involved with the heavy stuff as a career then you take the rough with the smooth. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe 90% then There is a culture of bullying within the training college that's currently being investigated, there's also a culture of sticking up for each other no matter what. One of my mates was told upon reaching his station "The only friends you have are within the force now, so forget your civvy ones...". Says it all to me really.
