you seen to miss the common factor in the unsatisfactory nature of your interactions with the police ...

We already know, it's the police

^ Absolutely. 3 different people, plus Tescos, problems every time on a range of crimes - and only one police station. But of course no it couldn't be the police could it never ever ever in a million years.

Another sweeping generalisation.

An excellent example of the well known (and much loved on PH) 'Appeal to Ridicule' fallacy.

Followed by the old 'ridicule others and when they react flag up their ridiculing' routine.

Well, that's an answer of sorts...

Indeed, but occasionally it's worth illustrating to any new readers just how little insight the whinger has ...

institutional refusal to accept or understand that some areas of the country are wide open to criminals will have huge repercussions and doesn't show the police posters on here in a very good light either that's for sure

[Greendubber]

Surely the whole country is 'wide open for criminals' though? Crime happens everywhere regardless of how many police there are or how 'lawless' someone thinks an area is (nowhere as it goes)

[davemac250]

And it depends uopon the crime.

It's so much easier just to blame someone else. Victims, media, PCCs etc - they're all fair game it seems

Probably best to let these two ^^ continue to suffer their dreadful police forces while the rest of us enjoy our surprisingly good (all things considered) ones.

Yep

[anonymous-user]

Which "good" force would that be?

especially as they can;t even identify the the common factor in their respective interactions with different officers and forces ...

I have the highest of praise for Lancashire Constabulary, especially their Roads Policing Unit. Some of the stuff they deal with is heartbreaking.

hy? You seem to think because something's an opinion it's untouchable or automatically valid.

I think the topic has sustained because you V6 have consistently conclusions about things you don't really know anything about.

Just because you don't agree with an opinion doesn't mean to say it's valid or partially valid.

True, that's why I just disagree with the bits that evidence at least indicates are incorrect.

V6Pushfit said:

This is tiresome, you repeatedly only hit back at part of a post or part of someone's point.

Yes, the incorrect parts.

V6Pushfit said:

Personally if I were you I would take them on board, stop hammering back at things you don't know about, and accept there are (must be) some really ste police areas that aren't yours.

Where have I done this? I've not said the experiences you and others write on here are incorrect or didn't occur.

There's much national crime data, you and anyone else is welcome to provide some actual evidence as to where this may be. It'd be more valid than pure speculation.

I asked you which part of the country you're referring to. Unsurprisingly you don't want to say.
