Are the cops unfit for the job
Jump to: Newest in thread
In the last few years theire have been several things happen that show the cops are no longer fit for purpose.
Recruiting terrorist into the force and not checking refrences
Tazering multipal times then kicking to death.
Ilegaly detaining and asulting women but refusing to admit murder
There are many more instances but would folks agree its time for a serious change in the cops and how they are run.it seems the cops are more corupt than the criminals.
Do you agree and what would you sugest to change things |

I think 99.9% of police interactions turn out great. And you’ve cherry picked a few bad example to suggest the police in general aren’t good.
Are there improvements to be made? Yes. Are the entire police force as a collective useless? Obviously not |

Police.
Not cops we live in Great Britain.
I think for they do a great job and considering the restrictions placed on resources they actually do a fantastic job.
There's always going to be people who are crap at their job's and abuse their positions.
Unfortunately if the police do this it's going to have a far more serious impact than say the local manager at Asda fucking up.
Don't be sucked into the anti establishment propaganda that's rife at the moment and don't confuse our police with those across the pond. |

And replace with what OP?
Every organisation has its bad apples I am pretty sure that whatever was to replace it would be the same. It not the people that need to change it the regulation, recruitment, training and oversight that need improving. |

Yeah there’s a few bellends but I’d probably say it’s better than 20-30 years back. We hear about more stuff now through social media. Yeah there’s improvements to be made but it’s not panic stations to me. |

Perhaps we should put some of these moron's marching in London today in charge and police us, that's obviously going to end well. |

If anyone has watched or cares to watch the riots in Swansea the other night, search YouTube Swansea may hill riots and see that the police did fuck all to help the residents. They should have gone there with armed response and just battered the little cunts. |

The members of the police force are recruited from society, they will therefore be a cross sectional representation of that society. If you want to change the police you will have to start with society. |

I would agree with others on the whole our police force in the UK do a brilliant job, you can't tar the whole force with the same brush as a few bad apples, I dare say if you looked at the figures for incidents they get called to verses reported issues with them it would show it is still a very tiny percentage of issues |

It is a fact that there are SOME "cops" are not fit for purpose. This is the same for most jobs, I've even been served burgers at McDonalds by people who weren't fit for their job.
99.99% of police officers are very much fit for the job.

I don’t think anyone would have said that they were too heavy handed with these scum bags of society. They should have come out full force. Watch the videos on YouTube.
There’s other videos on my Facebook (cos I’m close to that area) what wasn’t shown was further up towards where I am, all those shuts trying coming into our area and all the older hard nuts (men and women) came out of their houses and marched them out of the street threatening to kill them all and had the riot police hiding behind them  |

This. And alot of the time they are equally as frustrated as they don't have the staff and they don't get the results despite of all their hard work. |

You are lucky your not in Africa.
Because we had the right to hit beat and pistol whip anyone protesting or causing trouble. And often these hard locals would be beaten back at the station for days.
Even women got the rifle butt in the face if she was mouthing off.
India is the same, use to club people breaking the law, whip them in the street and slap women in the face.
You are very lucky here.
Be thankful. |

It is illegal to be a member of anything like that when you are a serving police officer.
You should have reported him to the ombudsman or police commissioner |

It's a culture thing. Policing is done differently abroad.
There is no interview just a slap and a few more.
Italy can be like that as well |

But they're all just people and there are good ones & bad ones (and every thing between). To suggest that the whole of the UK's police are not fit for purpose because a few people are wankers is like saying that we should ban driving because some people crash.

I dont think it is a case of a few bad apples
..there have been several cases where the problem has been institutional.
I've no doubt the police are doing a difficult job but they do seem to have a culture where they protect each other at all cost.
Look how many people have died in custody and how many have been held accountable. |

1000s of police interactions daily
Show me the list of things you mentioned?
And it better be a long list to match up with literally 1000s per day of good interactions |

How many arrests and incidents have been dealt with across the UK by Police staff? Now how many incidents have you loosely referred to? You've highlighted the fact that actions aren't always completed to the desired result, for a number of reasons. Like in any job. Shall we also bring up every mistake made by checkout operators or doctors?
Try doing that job for a day and tell me you'd do it better. |

Yes I do think they’re unfit for purpose and I’d start change by defunding the police and correctly funding the appropriate social service(s) that should be doing most of the work the police are meant to be dealing with |

Those who complain about the police are usually those who've broken the law and are upset they've been caught. If they can undermine the police with accusations (which will be investigated because that's what we do in a publicly accountable society) to weaken law enforcement then that plays into their hands. So malicious complaints are to be expected. |

Totally correct. As society descends into the abyss the pool of decent candidates grows ever smaller, so the arsehole percentage grows ever larger. Reap what you sow. |

Unfortunately we live in a society where no-one wants to take responsibility for their own actions and blame everyone else. The Police are damned if they do and damned if they don't. I agree with a lot of the posts, that there are some bad apples, but that's life. |

I have sympathy for anybody in policing. They are up against people breaking the law who are either hardened criminals or at best piss taking twats who think that by bleating about civil liberties and victimisation that they'll get off a relatively minor charge. So it's natural to expect a certain level of pre-emptive aggression from people doing a bloody difficult job.
That said, their remit is a difficult one, often led by politics and optics. Cracking down hard on ER protesters isn't a good look, and it must be difficult to know where to draw the line on cracking heads when you're up against the sort of bloaty pale-tinted gammon that attends antivax or anti BLM protests, lager cans and arsehole attitude in hand.
It's damned if you do, damned if you don't. Am I pissed at getting £100 and 3 points for doing 55 through an automated 40 trap on the M6 when I haven't even been clocked by an actual officer, when I regularly see people driving ridiculously dangerously
like utter arseholes in Brum centre with impunity? Yes, that aspect of policing, the easy low-hanging and not really criminal fruit pisses me off royally. |

They’re doing a difficult job in difficult circumstances, underfunded and undermanned. As has been said there are a few bad apples as there are in every job or profession, doesn’t mean the majority are working hard and are doing as good a job as possible.
One thing I will say. I work near London Bridge, there have been two terrorist attacks in recent times. Particularly with the one in Borough Market, when the public were running away as fast as possible, the Police were running in the other direction. They deserve some respect just for that.
I’ve known a few Coppers over the years, all been decent people. |

"Why don't you become a cop OP tell us how you get on over the next 12 months "
OP reminds me of those who speak about the NHS. I know alot of people in NHS who REALLY try under difficult circumstances. Mistakes and bad eggs will still occur. Doesn't mean the system is corrupt. |

Why just pick on the Police ? What about GP’s ( Harry Shipman for one ) nurses that deliberately killed patients, so does that make everyone in the NHS murderers? |

I agree that there are certainly some bad eggs in the police force, but that shouldn't get all police tarred with same brush.
Maybe better vetting, constant training throughout career to handle difficult situations better. Regular psychological testing also? Who knows. But defunding and reforming seem not so great ideas in my opinion. |

That’s a bit like saying all humans should be hung, just because a few of them have a propensity to kill one another.

So lobby your MP for the IOPC to do it all. Forces asked to investigate other forces would be delighted as they have enough on investigating the public. |
