I used to have yobs congregating in my garden.
I found a few well chosen words of advice did the trick.
I certainly did not tell them what I do for a living by the way.

Sounds like a normal bloke fed up with untouchable kids hanging around his street.
Wouldn't you do the same?

Yes, quite probably.
Whether I would boast about it to the media is another issue.

Be fair though.
I expect he spends 99.9% of his time in meetings and paperwork.
It's hardly 'people like him' dealing with the yobs of this world.

He told the neighbourhood watch meeting why he was moving, and the media reported it. He wasn't boasting at all.
It's a sad state of affairs when even a high ranking Police officer feels he can't do anything about the situation. I'm sure he'd love to go outside and give them a good hiding - but like you and me, he can't for fear of being arrested and in his case, loosing his job.

far from it he should not resign

What he should do is try and focus whatever little powers he and his force have upon dealing with these yobs

Sadly it only indicates no failing on himself but an indication of how utterly powerless the police are in these days and he realizes that outside his role of being a police officer he can do even less. At least we as ordinary comrades have an option of going out with a baseball bat and hoping that we do not get reported to the police as a high serving police officer he does not have that option due to the current political climate and the media feeding frenzy that would surround such actions.

WTF did he mention a 'terrorist attack'? Did he think the youths were terrorists? Or was he just trying to:

a) Scrabble some credibility?

b) Divert attention from his (force's) failure?

c) Toe the party line?

Hmmm, a very poorly judged comment.

Perhaps 'boasting' was a poor choice of verb, however he must have known this comment of his would make headlines.
If it was me I would keep my private life, more private.

This is fastrack undergraduate policing for you.

The depressing thing is that he knew he could do sod all about it except give in.

Two chaps who made a citizens arrest after overhearing yobs planning to attack someone have been arrested when the police came.

Thanks for doing your civic duty..you're nicked.

What a country.

Thank god when I wrestled with a car thief for nearly an hour before the police arrived that it was in the days of common sense and I was asked if I wanted to be put forward for an award..

today...is it worth it?

I was out in my underpants last year when three drunken yobs with a couple of tarts in tow were attempting to kick down my newly installed wooden gates at 11pm on there way back from the pub.

Maybe these police supers aren't 'real' men...

There's a place for that super though... filling in the forms for his proper frontline officers...
