If they are not capable of doing police duties when armed then they shouldn't be coppers IMO. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 46,962 Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 The balance ALWAYS has to be between the individual and the state.......a copper will always say “we want more power to snoop” but we have seen that government can not be trusted with this power.......they will in almost every case abuse it and you are back to the situation the UK finds itself in at the moment whereby it’s all about the easy target and stealth tax and the real bits of shit just carry on regardless.

WILF 46,962 Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Most of the street coppers I have seen the last few years will be shooting people dead for a bald tyre and out of date road tax..........it really is a very, very bad idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 It's bad news, especially as already said, he'd only been married for 4 weeks. As for the wider conversation about the police being less capable nowadays and the scrotes having no fear of being caught - I lay most of the blame for that on those at the top and their quota filling and pandering to so called human rights. Long gone are the days when the police had height restrictions and they understood that they needed big capable fellas to do the dirty work - now they're more interested in how many women, foreigners and trannies they've got in their ranks. ........ I wouldn't want that job knowing that my back up was someone that had been employed just to tick one of those boxes. The prisons and young offender places are a soft touch, more concerned with counselling than punishment. Personally, I think the police need to be able to deal out a bit of instant justice to some of the scumbags but, they know that their own won't look after them - they'll vilify them and make and example of them. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

micky 3,325 Posted August 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 A friends wife had a high up job on the council and she used to take part in training exercises to cope with disasters like aPlane Crash or a Bomb exploding she done this for a few years and then the Bell went off, five lads walking home from a Pub had hit by a car and Killed they had been brought to the LRI and my Daughter said it was complete Bedlam with all the Parents and Friends trying to find out who was dead and who was not , the woman who had all the training came up to my Daughter and " sorry Tam I cannot do this" and left in tears . No amount of training can prepare you for the real thing . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is if illegal immigrants are the 1s stabbing innocent folk or coppers then the news should report that it was an illegal immigrant who was responsible etc. Then the government sold have to be shown to stop the illegal immigrants entering the country. But that ain't going to happen. It's a never ending circle of debate I think.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
