No, thank YOU! I've never been thanked for not getting arrested before - very nice.

I would suggest that the proportion of sexual abuse is probably the same in the Police force as in the general public.
I hope not, that's frightening if it is.

It's ok just to say you were wrong you know.
No issue with saying I am wrong when I am like the maths being wrong.

However, I am not wrong when you either deliberately misrepresent a comment that is self-explanatory and clear in context. If that's the best you're able to conjure up then so-be-it.

I actually don't mind generalisations/criticisms of the army - a lot of them I see on here are correct - it just seems a little childish in the way it's often done. Why not just start a thread criticising it/them and we can discuss on there rather than using it to insult?
The point was about the army comment is it contained an emoticon. I was trying to use it to reinforce an obvious generalisation and that I wasn't being serious to draw a parallel with... Never mind, too subtle once more.

I see. I interpreted it as an attempt to insult or be derogatory. Maybe I should use smilies more. So I could say "most coppers are sex offenders licklicklick" and when questioned just say it is obviously not serious.

I do find your rant in the third person very amusing by the way. thumbup

I also quite enjoy our exchanges - I find they reinforce my views quite well.

No,I'm suggesting by the very nature of their job, a police officer will be subject to more false allegations than say, a bin man.

Surely the ration of those dismissed to those accused shows how many are meritless.

As for your last question I would suggest to you it's an unanswerable question, and you know it.
That is where the problem lies.

The general public do not trust the Police disciplinary system.
I agree, I don't think there's a huge amount of confidence in it.

My view is that serious points aren't generally made with emoticons, but that may just be my interpretation.

Well there's the thing see, we all think differently and are free to express those views - despite the police state doing their utmost to stop it. ( smile )

Don't you think the police should be sacked? Don't you think that the discipline procedure should be used against officers and the ultimate punishment be used?

I'd be outraged if the police did not deal with its aberrant officers.

Police force finds bad apple in its ranks. Police force sacks bad apple for gross misconduct. Bad apple is also prosecuted.

Why is it outrageous?

The court sentence does seem unduly lenient, although the Police Service have imposed the strongest sanction available i.e. Sacking.

Always a pleasure to see you highlighting when the Police have been effective at removing the scum from their ranks in the same way they Police the general public. Personally I think sex offenders, violent criminals and drug dealers are often given far too lenient treatment by the courts. They deserve much worse.

Still more than I've seen given to 'normal' members of the public.

They should all be locked up IMO though.

I wonder why so many officers commit these crimes? Maybe they see lots of officer committing offences without any repercussions and they think they'll get away with their crime as well? Gang mentality?

Cant wait for tomorrows post.


Could you provide any evidence to suggest police officers are at it more than say for example a teacher?

Police discipline procedures do not have incarceration as an option.

In this case it is specific to the crime.

I'm shocked that you aren't shocked, especially as it is such a shocking offence.

Not a rugby player then? Mind you I'd be shocked if you were.

I should point out that the offence has not been proved and the suspect denies the offence.
