There are a lot of police officers that do a very hard job incredibly well. There will be the bad apples, as with any profession but to let the 0.1% influence your decision on all of them is absurd. On the whole i am very grateful for them and i appreciate all they do, as with all emergency services
It would be good if the decent ones made life that awkward for the bad apples that they left by their own volition.Neither the police service nor the public benefit from allowing bad apples to continue in post.

Some people hold the opinion that a police force should solely consist of uniformed bobbies on the beat and that if we have enough of them, every crime will be committed in their line of sight. And we shouldn't assist this with CCTV, that's oppressive, (as is a copper using any force in the arrest process), or question anyone for the mere suspicion of committing an offence.
A lot of my friends are anti police and not even because they've been on the wrong side of the law. Just some weird left-wing anti-establishment ethos but I was amazed to hear one such friend equally deride the police and those who claim police discrimination on the basis that he himself as a white kid had been pulled over on several occasions.
Not that I agree with the methods employed in this case. Strange that post 9/11 tree huggers were such a threat.

There is no change in the low level sad to say.
I assume this refers to your quality of debate. I asked you ages ago how you’re concluding senior officers were involved based on the source material (because it makes no mention of them).
Your (lack of) response is to ignore it and wibble on some more. The same can be said of other reasonable questions put to you.
There are two general types of people. Those who address problems and those who just complain (and make solely anti-police topics on a car forum like a Jason Plato-handshake level weirdo).
I’m sure you can figure out which people think you can fall into.

I think it is better that wrongdoing is investigated and bad apples are disciplined or prosecuted. Letting such people resign when the going gets too hot is too easy. Neither the police service nor the public benefit from allowing bad apples to continue in post.
eta Can going get hot? Is that a bad mixed metaphor? s
t hitting fans is much easier to grasp.Edited by XCP on Thursday 18th October 19:42
