Not what I expect from the police.....

The Police is like anything else in society - you get a range of characters and personalities, including the not-so-nice ones.

I've had the dubious honour of meeting one or two of the not-so-nice police officers (thankfully not on the wrong end of a baton) in my life, and yes, it's like anywhere else in society, you get the ones who possibly shouldn't be there and you wouldn't really want to associate with out of choice.

Don't tar them all with the same brush, as is the same with everything. That's like saying 'All teenagers are violent drunken thugs', when I am a living breathing example of the falsity of that statement.



PS, I might be opening a can of worms here but I'd much prefer a force that annoys the odd member of the public or gets a little rough sometimes, to a force that is too scared to do anything about anything for fear of being sued.

Best just to assume all coppers are sadistic, bent thugs who get high on power and love uniforms

Rumour has it Goldilocks has moved in with Daddy bear, and kicked Mummy bear and baby bear out.

Best not to believe 100% of what you read.

He's been jailed for 6 months, according to the BBC.

Because I just told you I did, why would I lie??

Plus I am not and idiot, first off I wouldn't call a policeman a pig, and I definately would not say it in a police station surrounded be police thus getting myself into even more trouble.

I gotta say tomski, Tactcom is a saint. Considering his luck and some of the blatent bull **** he endured while trying to turn a proffit on breaking a bike. He still remained calm and resonable throughout a situation that I dare say would have turned you or I into an axe weilding nutter!
If he says he politely said "pardon" then I'd wager he said pardon.

I don't think Tomski was necessarily trying to discredit tactcom, I think he was trying to make the point that in general, you only ever hear one side of the story in a lot of these kinda things.

As for the guy getting 6 months, well, I think it was the least he could expect.
