Can't stand coppers in real life, they are evil , sly and spend their whole existence just trying to fuck up people's lives. The only time you see them round here is when they are squatting in a bush pointing a speed gun at you  |

Always wanted to do it but there's no jobs in my area currently  a woman who was a teaching assistant when I was in primary school is a PCSO.
Quite funny actually because every time I walk into town she's always on the other side of the road and we wave to each other  |

I love that. Maybe, just maybe, if you tried not breaking the law, or speeding you'd never have to cross paths with them. Just a thought. |

I drove through a local village tonight at 21.45 and there was 4 of them all hiding up and one with a speed gun . One why does it take four of them and two why are they speed trapping at quarter to ten it's hardly the height of children's playtime on the streets surely there is something more worthwhile they could be doing |

Yeah coz stopping people from speeding and killing someone or themselves/ getting into an accident isn't worthwhile enough!   |

Maybe if they did something worthwhile like getting things back from a pikey site when you have told them
Damn well it's where you stuff went but they won't because they are scared of them . They don't demand any respect anymore . They are just revenue making tools who we have to pay for "
Well why should they get your stuff back???? Get it yourself! |

I'm not a fan personally, too many bad apples and cover up's for my liking. Although being from Liverpool and understanding what they did at Hillsborough may give me a slightly warped view.... |

"So if all of you have said negative things about the police where being attacked or your house was burgled you wouldnt call the police i presume"
In a word....no
The only reason you need them if you house gets robbed is for a crime number for insurance purposes otherwise they don't do anything... |

I think some people have unrealistic expectations perhaps from watching too many TV shows. They're not miracle workers and can't just pluck evidence out of thin air. Suspecting and proving are two very different things |

This was the episode about the dog handlers right, what a lovely job driving around all day in your own van catching scrotes and letting the dog bite them.
That's job satisfaction |

I don't dispute that, however I feel they are more about income generation than public protection these days just my opinion
As I said in my original post I may have a warped view from my Dad being at Hillsborough.....the biggest police cover up in British History! |

I'd love to do the job purely so I could hang out with a dog all day, doesn't matter if I don't catch any baddies |

"Always wanted to do it but there's no jobs in my area currently"
As I understand it they prefer you to live in one area and work in another. It might be worth you looking at availability in neighbouring areas if your really interested.

You generally find criminals hate the police. People that have had no dealings with them respect what they do. Then there are victims of crime that needed them but were no help find them useless.
I am the latter and put in a complaint about one female officer for not listening to me or taking me seriously and told me she had better things to do then deal with a domestic between my neighbour and myself. Baring in mind this neighbour made my life miserable for years and I now finally have a court ordered injunction on her.

Not a ludicrous claim at all Northern Ireland was a 'war' over a long period of time with numerous incidents. Slightly different than one incident of people going to a football match dying then being denegrated as robbers and d*unks for the next 20 years!!
Both terrible things but extremely differnt..... |

Yeah! I teared up when the guy mentioned about his past dogs and I liked the fact that at work they were a colleague and at home they were apart of the family, not just a pet but also a best friend.
Damn it I wish my Sheba was here now  |

Especially the one that left his dogs in the back of his van with no air con on for the dog to die, not once but twice...
Probably not in the program though.
Too many police are corrupt, too many of their colleagues cover up for them when they are brought to light.

Do you think Ian Thomlinson was deserving of his treatment? Do you think it was right that the police officer got away with killing an innocent man going about his lawful business? Cover ups, pleb gate. The PC's on the ground at Hillsborough if still in the force are now the high ranking officers, honest as the day is long... |

There are good people and bad people in all jobs.
Ive heard if doctors and nurses that have killed people
Celebrities that have habitually abused children
Airline pilots that have been d*unks
Soldiers that have beaten and killed prisoners.
Why should it be a surprise that some coppers are bad.
I've known a few coppers in my time, an they have been good blokes. |

"Like in every profession, some good some bad. Its the way of the world"
It's the way the so called good cover up for though bad though. Being a police officer is not just a job or profession. They need to be whiter than white to have credibility. Their decisions in the workplace can have a huge impact on peoples lives, and the bad apples should be rooted out mercilessly, not covered up. |

The biggest problem with the police is that their job is largely about protecting people's property...not people themselves. I think someone here said that the only people who have problems with the police are criminals...unfortunately that's not really true. The minute you start to join protests you quickly see another side of the police, a side with is deeply unjust and brutal.
You also need to remember that a lot of us were criminalised in the 90's when it became illegal to go to parties. I remember going to one party at a private house. The police were driving around all over the place acting like they were in a war game in their big jeeps. We started walking in when there was a scream and a mass of people came running towards us. The idiots had thrown tear gas into the party to disperse it. That was when parties were illegal. They still are now...only nobody does them any more...so the 'no fun here' police won out with that one
I was also unfortunate enough to decide to show my face at an Anti-capitalist demo one time when I lived in London...big mistake! The police kettled us in for 9 hours...even tourists and pregnant women were trapped in there because the only way the police would let anyone out was if they gave them all their personal details to put on their 'suspects list' and no fool was gonna do that.
On the outside they seem respectable...but if you ever wander across that invisible line you'll suddenly discover how unjust they can be when the justice they're holding up is a crooked justice. That's my 2p |

You also need to remember that a lot of us were criminalised in the 90's when it became illegal to go to parties. I remember going to one party at a private house. The police were driving around all over the place acting like they were in a war game in their big jeeps. We started walking in when there was a scream and a mass of people came running towards us. The idiots had thrown tear gas into the party to disperse it. That was when parties were illegal. They still are now...only nobody does them any more...so the 'no fun here' police won out with that one
I was also unfortunate enough to decide to show my face at an Anti-capitalist demo one time when I lived in London...big mistake! The police kettled us in for 9 hours...even tourists and pregnant women were trapped in there because the only way the police would let anyone out was if they gave them all their personal details to put on their 'suspects list' and no fool was gonna do that.
On the outside they seem respectable...but if you ever wander across that invisible line you'll suddenly discover how unjust they can be when the justice they're holding up is a crooked justice. That's my 2p "

"I guess it's a bit like when you get an incompetent doctor and his collegues close ranks.
Or when a priest abuses a child and the church hushes it up.
"
I very much doubt an incompetent doctor would be covered for very long.
As for priests well if you had a child who was alleging to have been abused by a priest would you report it to the church or the police?
Still doesn't excuse the police though.
Two wrongs don't make a right as my old dad used to say... |

An easy target for the public and media to have a whinge at.... Sometimes it's as if the police can do no right!
Yes over the years there has been scandal, from cover-ups to institutionalised racism and it was said here the
"the police need to be whiter than white".
Presuming you mean that there has to be no scandal as the police keep control of law and order, but I think the scandal starts at government level.
A police officer gets paid less than a train driver, a store manager or a bin man etc. and the difference is no one ever stops and thinks about what that cop has seen or dealt with that day.
Sadly a 29yo female police officer took her life in Scotland this week due to these excess stresses so all I'll say is all the police haters out there, just take one moment to stop and realise that these men and women are just doing a job. The vast majority of them doing it to a high standard and actually care and try to help. |

The police actually get paid more than theose professions stated because overtime is such a massive part of the job. Over 35 quid an hour !!
If you want to talk about underpaid and thankless jobs....look at the Prison Service |

I was talking to a female officer at a football match who was complaining that she was always doing overtime to make ends meet. When I said there are always ways to make extra money, she looked at me as if I was asking her to be a hooker. It was at this point I was told my coach had the correct number onboard and I got in and closed the door. |

Without the police we would have anarchy and viligantes roaming the streets like packs of feral dogs demanding retribution against people were there is only hearsay evidence from some boke down the pub named dave.
On a professional level i deal with the police as well as all the emergency services and they are very professional and decent human beings |

"This was the episode about the dog handlers right, what a lovely job driving around all day in your own van catching scrotes and letting the dog bite them.
That's job satisfaction"
I think they got alot of satisfaction from that, according to what they said. I was a bit suprised how unfit they mostly were, but the dogs could do all the running. There are some great cops, though it does attract some people with questionable psychology for the role. Some good fucks out there - guess there are some on fab too |

"So if all of you have said negative things about the police where being attacked or your house was burgled you wouldnt call the police i presume
In a word....no
The only reason you need them if you house gets robbed is for a crime number for insurance purposes otherwise they don't do anything...so you wont be calling them for anything?
No the one time I did they were usless so I wouldn't waste my time or tax payers (me) money."
Funny!
I was burgled a few years back. The police arrived, along with a forensics team - took statements, waited til the glazing company made the house secure and left promising regular updates.
Two days later they called to say some of my goods had been located at the local cash converters and CCTV in store had given them a lead.
Two more days later they kicked the door in of a local scumbag at 6am on a Sunday - found more of my stuff along with goods from other victims - and a month later he got 5 years.
Yeah. The police never do anything!

"You generally find criminals hate the police. People that have had no dealings with them respect what they do. Then there are victims of crime that needed them but were no help find them useless.
I am the latter and put in a complaint about one female officer for not listening to me or taking me seriously and told me she had better things to do then deal with a domestic between my neighbour and myself. Baring in mind this neighbour made my life miserable for years and I now finally have a court ordered injunction on her.
People who have had no dealings with the police respect what they do, probably because they haven't got a clue what they do...
Do you think Ian Thomlinson was deserving of his treatment? Do you think it was right that the police officer got away with killing an innocent man going about his lawful business? Cover ups, pleb gate. The PC's on the ground at Hillsborough if still in the force are now the high ranking officers, honest as the day is long...
Don't believe I mentioned any specifics except my experience so your comment is pointless. I didn't say anything about treatment of people or cover ups and bent coppers
Sorry, the second paragraph wasn't aimed at you, just got a bit carried away with a rant. "
Haha we all have are moments 
Apology excepted  |

I used to have a healthy dis-respect for the police. Largely in part to the area I grew up in. Large scale poverty, high unemployment, for a lot of people the only way to make a living was being the wrong side of the law.
Recently I started working for the probation service. My view of local, beat level policing has changed. They are, for the most part people that want to help others in the best way they can. Our local police contact is great for helping my residents with questions, trouble they report, and doesn't care that they are criminals, he treats them like humans. He's just helped one get supervised contact with his kids.
However, I have also come to see that the local bobby is under huge pressure from the suits who haven't been on the ground for so long, they've forgotten what policing is about. They are the people we don't need, that are causing the majority of problems. |

Possibly to do with where you are. I go to Suffolk a lot and the police dont have much to do there.
Not the same in bigger cities. |

"Can't stand coppers in real life, they are evil , sly and spend their whole existence just trying to fuck up people's lives. The only time you see them round here is when they are squatting in a bush pointing a speed gun at you
They're only doing their job's
Maybe if they did something worthwhile like getting things back from a pikey site when you have told them
Damn well it's where you stuff went but they won't because they are scared of them . They don't demand any respect anymore . They are just revenue making tools who we have to pay for
Well why should they get your stuff back???? Get it yourself!"
You would make an excellent copper that's the sort of stupid thing I would expect one of them to say!
If I went to get my stuff back from a " travellers" site I would probably be the one that ended up being arrested!
Oh and racist really!?!! Whatever |

"Without the police we would have anarchy and viligantes roaming the streets like packs of feral dogs demanding retribution against people were there is only hearsay evidence from some boke down the pub named dave."
Being something of an anarchist, in the true sense of the word, I'm not so certain. We are told that if the government or the police weren't here everything would descend into chaos and thugs would roam the streets. But we have to ask ourselves a couple of questions. Firstly...is the apparatus of control better than the chaos it has replaced. Or, as I put it to a woman I once knew "If you've got nothing to hide why would you have a problem with me stalking you" lol Just a joke obviously...but the point is the 'nothing to hide' vs 'totalitarian police state' argument is not a good one imo.
Secondly we have to ask where the evidence of this underlying criminal element is. Surely the vast majority of us are quite happy living modest lives without pissing people off? Yes there is a rogue element in society. But the idea that they would swamp us is probably wrong. We may be able to manage them differently. For example if our society was more interconnected and less isolated pockets of nuclear families we'd be able to phone their mums and shame them into giving back their loot. (lol  not kidding this actually happened to me and I got it all back) Not saying everyone would be that easy...but there might be a better way than our current system of prisons etc. Some criminals are just people in need...others are obviously tossers...but some aren't...they've just got problems that need some attention.
Obviously my anarchism is based upon the notion that human nature is basically good. This is something I'm sticking to for now...even though my time on these forums has eroded it considerably lol Actually...on that note...you'll never guess what I heard from this bloke down the pub named dave |

i knew it bloody dave again i have had bad experiences with the police when i was younger however without them the place would decend into anarchy just look at the amount of looters that took advantage of an incident in tottenham in my home city of birmingham it was a joke.
I always think the best of people however human nature is to survive by whatever means and if fred (daves mate is looting and robbing the haves) the dave rob and loot as well.
We are not japan were there was no looting or robbing after the tsuanmi compare that to what happened in the land of the free USA after hurricane katrina, thats another daveism |

I love that. Maybe, just maybe, if you tried not breaking the law, or speeding you'd never have to cross paths with them. Just a thought. "
A side from when you're a victim or trying to prevent a crime....
They're equally useless then tbh |

Correct.....twice I've needed them....once was in fact when I was burgled and yes all the use they were was for a crime number....nobbidy was caught and as far as I could tell very little action was taken bar attempting to lift some prints and secondly when I was in Sheffield a long time ago and my car was broken into....they wouldn't even attend that one...I was told over the phone there was nothing they could do and was given a crime number and left to it.
I was hovever at glastonbudget festival the other week and there was a dog locked in a car...the police were in attendane....neither of the officers could get into the car to let the dog out while they tried to trace the owner so I managed to get in for them....therefore I have been more use to the police than they have to me.....I don't know how youb become an officer these days....I'm pretty sure you just have to collect tokens from frosties or something and send them off. |
