Police too busy!

[anonymous-user]

The inept officers I've dealt with weren't new trainees though as they knew the tactics to avoid progressing anything, unless of course they get taught that Mind you if training time is cut down so much it would be a vital part of the course...

You stated some time back that you have only based your opinions on your own personal experience. You have then used words which many, including me, have taken to be a criticism of all police.

Opinions are based on the several daily reports concerning police officers in the news, and also the stupid attitudes on here - in conjunction with my experiences (one of which happened this evening)!

You shouldn't have taken my words that way

anecdata = the plural of anecdote in the mind of someone who doesn't understand statistics; and I think your stunning leaps of logic put you in that category.

But was he a Chief Inspector or Superintendent? the article isn't clear.?

The last paragraph about the police not being able to say no is very, very true. The police also get the blame for things that are beyond their control. For example i have just returned home from a shift where it was apparently my fault that a train company had not provided enough trains to deal with passenger numbers at a time of high demand. How can that be the polices fault?

Surely people just letting off steam - not seriously blaming you - all part of the job isnt it? Its always been the way - whoevers most convenient gets the blame.

Forget the shootings, stabbings and robberies, the most shocking part of that story is that a Chief Inspector has, apparently, escaped from the confines of his office, commandeered a panda and has been "seen in the wild".

That's like finding Elvis is alive and well and living in a caravan in Abergele - frankly, I just don't believe it.

Not really though, she had a right go at me.

Its the equivalent of me going into see my bank manager to complain when my fridge breaks, its not necessary.

I think dismissing people's opinions as nonsensical is at best ignorant and at worst arrogant.

Why? 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.

This is tiresome, you repeatedly only hit back at part of a post or part of someone's point. I know a lot (everything in fact) about my experiences over a 3 year period at the hands of inept officers in the area. This has been every time (3) that I have been directly involved, and then there's 3 that close friends have.
I have no axe to grind with the police, I used to respect them immensely and back in the day we hosted an annual piss up for the Essex Crime Squad but that's pre history now. I have given factual accounts and spoken as I have found and I'm sorry if you don't like them but that's just life.
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.

Isn't the reverse therefore possible?

Oh, no.

Sorry, all police are inept. I remember that now.

If the four people including me had been abducted by aliens and been implanted with the opposite of what has happened to us then yes, but to my knowledge this can't happen, so the reverse is impossible.

And if you say they are all inept then that's a worry, but I doubt all police areas are that bad.

Once again, nobody has said they all are.

the plural of Anecdote is NOT data ...

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