recently I've had a bit of a negative image of the police, I believe they've got to messed up with political correctness, the reports I've made to them have involved race issues and they would not go near my complaints even insinuating that I was some sort of bigot.
I don't think that they should go back to the 80's police force as they became Margarets private army, they loved her with the 10% pay rise they got.
But I must say that when I really needed help as one of my kids went missing, the police behaved fantastically, efficient emphatic amazingly sharp, I felt safe in their hands.
I've had a couple of bad experiences in the past with obnoxious plastics, who just wanted to have a bit of power.
But the experience when they helped find my daughter completely6 puts thiings in perspective, it made me realise, what the hell would I have done if there were no police.

I'm staying out of this. In the same way that I left this forum on countless occasions, but something reels me back in...
Glad you got a good response when your daughter was missing mate. The vocal minority hate us but we do a lot more harm than good. I do anyway... | | | |

They re human beings and therefore feck it up from time to time.
What anti police posters should bear in mind is they are trusted infinitely more than solicitors, accountants, taxi drivers etc etc.
Problem is when they screw up, it's often life changing.
Uou re never going to get any police force in any country to be liked. It's not their job to be liked and sadly too many chief constables want to feel loved.
Police have to do the dirty work and it's a dirty world out there.
Me.. I've had plenty of run ins since retiring and being an ex police officer makes no difference trust me.
I was a very hard boss, a good thief taker relentless in pursuit of career criminals and at times fearless , which was daft really.
Without doubt police were used by thatcher but we all have to live with our past. This differs from scum like barristers and bent accountants.

So we scrap the police then.
Good idea.
We'll leave policing to the drug cartels then.
Don't know why they bother at all really.
Predictable thread so like shimmie, a fellow drud stealer, shuite house and thick, I'm out of here so spit away | |

Shame so many lose their heads and actually believe their own self importance. Its a job nothing more. Of course there are plenty of brilliant officers out there but feck me the amount of ignorant arrogant bullies there are in our police force is incredible. Always been bent look at the miscarriage of justice, Hillsborough etc. The institutionalised racism and internal bullying. Thankfully though they do on the whole far far more good than bad. | | | |

It all depends on what your dealings are with them.Commit a crime and they're bastards.Be on the end of one and they're great.In my younger days I hated them but as you get older and less troublesome you begin to understand and respect them more. |  | | |

Most know how to use a full stop though. And what your describing is basically what the riots were with single parent mothers having their houses torched in Croydon. The weak will always be set upon by some if there is no fear of consequence. And I'll happily race you over any distance you want. We can finish up with a few rounds sparring if you want. And you 100% hold me to that. I'm home Easter weekend. Oh and I got drug tested this week, my whole team did. | | | |

If you're whiter than white you're probably fairly naive. The saying it takes a crook to catch a crook certainly rings true. A sheltered idealist will have rings run round them by your average criminal. I see it regularly. Great behind a desk but as a street copper god awful. | | | |

Can't argue with any of that. I always work on the basis of "would I say this if I was on my own in a pub speaking to this person". Some coppers would be f**k all if it wasn't for what they do for a living. | | | |

A friend of mine was mugged of 10 pounds and 5 euros and tried to take his wallet, and threatened to hurt him if he didn't stop struggling. This was in 2006 outside the London Astoria, which had an alleyway the druggies loved. He phoned the Police and made no real effort to help him, trying to make him think he brought the situation on himself, when all along they're letting a thug go wild and free.
Depends on the crime really. | | | |

In my grandfathers day, a war ended and the Police would need you to be Cream of the Crop to be in their force. If you fought in the war, they'd have you for certain just like my Grandfather.
These days Policemen and Policewomen would cry if they had a General/Corporal/Sargent Major shouting insulting sentences in their faces, unlike officers in my Grandfather's day. [Post edited 7 Mar 2015 16:35]

Their job is a service for everyone,and should be liked,there is probably good police officers with a heart,but trust me ,not many,a nice policeman switches off after his or her shift,but most of the c unts are mentally in force 24/7,id trust a gypsys dog before any of them!!!! | |

Police at football are awful. They have no consideration for the fans.
Applying for banning orders etc because they know they do not have enough evidence to get a criminal conviction.
I have no faith in the police force. |  | | |

In my opinion to many police officers "like the power' and they think that are better than everyone else!
Having said that I know 2 police officers that great guys, getting their job didnt change them 1 bit. I also know some that were nice guys and totally changed when they got their job and are complete pricks now.
I once worked with a nice fella, he told me that he was a police officer before we worked together but quit because all his old friends treated him different, stop asking him to the pub and he lost touch.... He quit and things went back to normal.... Quite sad really!
One other thing and its just my opinion, I notice quite a lot of out of shape (fat) officers walking the street and picking up a kebab on the evening weekend street. I'm not against fat ppl at all but as police...?? Surely this is a problem when they have to chase the local car thief down the road?? | | | |

the force don't do themselves any favours, there are some right little hitlers in the force who have been bullied in life and want to take their revenge.
this comment was made to me recently
Mark is one of the good ones, he takes them down the back street in wind street and gives the bastards a good hiding. FFS
There are idiots in the force no doubt and I had an opinion like most of you guys unti l ireally needed them and as I said they were exceptional absolutely f in brilliant
So for you guys whos kids go missin, just like mine,g what would you do without the old bill, How would you find your kids??????
My opinion has changed, but I accept there are some losers in the force | | | |

Russy.
Serious post coming up.
I found it hard to switch off mainly as it was sharp end stuff and very tricky people involved many of them local politicians and ACPO officers who were often out for their own ends.
That said, I can redress the balance by saying Ive seen several acts of unbelievable bravery and public service which naturally wouldn't go on to a thread like this. PEOPLE ONLY COMMENT when its bad policing ;fact is majority really are fine people and still the most trusted profession, I mean would you seriously trust a Surveyor/Solicitor/ Accountant/ 100 %?
It s a job that sadly involves family. I ve had my kids watched at the school gates and been followed home many many times to such an extent I did a new route virtually every week and detoured miles out of my way. Fact I had a very fast motor bike helped when I got spotted at a Red Light and fecked off as a baseball bat was getting grabbed from a back seat passenger.
Do I miss it? Do I feck? would I have have rathered chosen to do something else for over 20 years . Indeed | |
