There appears to be an increase in attacks on Police officers. No details about the authenticity of the videos below, but it's shocking footage.

That there are people in this country who consider these attitudes & behaviours acceptable is thoroughly depressing.
Where will it end, I wonder?

Hopefully when they go back to being a Police FORCE.

Disgusting but hardly surprising. We have an excess of scum in the U.K. and the police have found themselves neutered by ‘progressives’. The recent protests have shown the police are scared to hit back and will kneel before the mob. I feel for those serving and having to put up with it frown

Are those clips real? Only ever seen police officers in pairs for as long as I can remember, where's the other officer? Are there any independent reports on these attacks? Both of them in the same type of housing estate streets, both in similar 'uniform' which could just consist of dark clothes and a hi-viz, rolling on the floor with no apparent effort to defend themselves, the first one getting up and then rolling back on the floor like Ronaldhino in a penalty box? Something doesn't smell right.

Sickening to watch, nobody stepped in to help when the kids/scum had dispersed either.
Our police service has put years into becoming ‘hearts and minds’ oriented and if you see what cops have to put up with now it would turn your stomach. Surprise surprise the scum still don’t like them and now they can barely defend themselves. The sentencing for assaulting officers is also woeful. I don’t know why anybody would want to do it.

Throughout most of England and Wales single crewing is the norm and has been for a considerable time. London being the exception although it is far more common there now

But even in the toughest parts of other cities officers are expected to patrol and work alone


Scotland is different

The first clip is fake.

The second clip is why police should not have to deal with dangerous situations by themselves.

This reminded me, my cousin assaulted a police officer in the 80s but never got charged for it. Instead, the police officer and a few of his colleagues enacted their own justice by taking him into a room and battering him. Shame that can’t happen for the scum in that 2nd clip.

First one looks like a PCSO, second one is definatley real.

Sadly it's quite common.

Jesus, who would be a copper these days, the world is full of turds who contribute nothing but know their rights, but not their "wrongs", minute the copper gets the upper hand its sad/compo face in the press.

What is with people talking like some plastic gangster "Man like", "Innit", "Bruv", "Fam", tragic.

There is a social underclass that think the police are there to be targeted but as mentioned, as soon as it slightly goes the other way...

Maybe an instant custodial sentence for anyone who assaults a police office might make people think twice.

It’s not just the police, my partner is a nurse and along with colleagues has been assaulted and verbally abused not to mention the most common being told to go home (Polish National) and this is by people and family/friends of people she is helping.

Definitely need to be harsher sentences for physical violence. Doubled for members of the emergency services.

I resist calls for more tax on most things, but prisons are something I'd support if it meant seeing the people who do that sort of thing go away for very long time (beyond breeding age).

If you scroll down on the second one there's a tweet from the officer involved. Male arrested and charged with assault.

Bring back the good old days..... please!
Gene Hunt

to a handful of kids, staring at his car] "Anything happens to this motor, I'll come 'round your houses and stamp on all your toys. Got it?"
  • [referencing Annie] "Fanny in the flat. Nice work!"
  • "Good work Raymondo, I'm bumping you back to DS, only this time, make sure it stands for Detective Sergeant and not Dog st!"
  • "Warren is a bum bandit. Do you understand?! A poof. A fairy. A queer. A queen. Fudgepacker! Uphill gardener! Fruit-picking sodomite!"
  • [When Sam Tyler asks back to this line if Warren is gay, Hunt retorts:] "As a bloody Christmas tree!"
  • "I find the idea of watching some bird brushing her teeth on a bloke's John Thomas less than exotic!"
  • "You, the monkey or the organ grinder? Who's making the calls planting the bombs? I want names I want them now!"
  • "You sick evil bd, where's the next one going to go off?"
  • "You're not the one who's going to have to knit himself a new arse after 25 years of aggressive male affection in prison showers..."
  • "Trust the Gene Genie."
  • "There will NEVER be a woman prime minister as long as I have a hole in my arse."
  • "Why have you got an ant's nest up your arse over a bit of skirt?"
  • "You great, soft, sissy, girlie, nancy, French, bender, Man United-supporting poof!"
  • "I don't like this. Gene Hunt smashes doors down, he does NOT pick girlie locks."
  • "We're looking for a short skinny bird, wears a big coat, lots of gob."
  • [After discovering a deflated blowup doll in the boot of a car] "That's no way to treat a lady."
  • "Drop your weapons, you are surrounded by armed bds."

  • "GRAB EM BY THE BALLS AND THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS WILL SURELY FOLLOW!."

  • "This is my city, and it will be safe for my wife and my mum to walk around in. Is that understood? So find out who the dead woman was, and find out who killed her. Do it now! [Looks at watch.] Hold up, hold up. Do it tomorrow, first thing. Beer o'clock, gentlemen."
  • "Surveillance? That doesn't sound very manly. It's not proper police work, is it, spying on people?"
  • "What I call a dream involves Diana Dors and a bottle of chip oil."

  • "Right. Pub?"

  • "I'm not a Catholic meself, Mr Warren, but isn't there something in the Bible about 'Thou shalt not suck off rent boys'?"
  • "My friend is going to ask you some questions. Personally I hope you don't answer them because I want you to die in here and end up inside a pork pie."
  • "Oi! Referee! Has anyone ever told you you need glasses, you dozy git? next time, I run you over!"
  • "Reckon we can take him. I'll jump him, you take his gun and Cartwright can jump up and down on his knackers."

  • "I know what blood group he is, A-Rhesus-Smug."
  • "I think she's as fake as a tranny's fanny."
  • "Drugs eh? What's the point. They make you forget, make you talk funny, make you see things that aren't there. My old grandma got all of that for free when she had a stroke."
  • "I love this city. Its mess. Its noise. Prozzies. Drunks. Stray dogs, little old men. ...Rest of this country couldn't give a threepenny bit about this town. The orphans take whoever they can get to look after them. That's me."

  • " Once Upon A Time In Her Vest? [disgusted] You dare to pollute the glorious genre of the American Western?"
  • "Right, Scotland Yard are sending up some sort of kleptomaniac."
  • " Blardy, blardy, history bloody blardy. It doesn't take a degree in applied bks to know what's going on!"

Maybe make it law that if you hurt/injure an emergency worker, you lose the right to emergency services...
oh you house is burning down??? tough
oh youve been stabbed and you need life saving assistance??? tough
oh youve been robbed or your house burgled??? tough
persistant offenders go up and down a generation as well.

That's a well thought through policy.

Can't see any issues there.

I especially like the withdrawal of service to generations below -very biblical/North Korea. Nice.

Just hope I'm not in the house/apartment next door when fire brigade let the fire burn.

So there is. Let's hope this doesn't leave any lasting damage on him.

Nice idea, but not really practical, nor inclusive, is it though. And would lead to worse things.

I've heard it say, that in the UK, we jail more people than the rest of Europe, and we should look at Sweden for a better criminal experience.
Does their system counter & deal with the attitudes displayed in those recording above?

I won't bring BLM in to it like for some reason the person posting the original Tweet has, as all perpetrators here are white.

But as I stated on the BLM thread, in relation to the prevalence of the ACAB slogan in conjunction with that movement, there is a convenient crossover of those who oppose the police for reasons of social justice, and those who simply take issue with the police arresting them.

Add to those 2 categories the lawless feral scum filmed here, then you've got quite a large portion of anti police sentiment and violence.

Sweden? I’m not sure about that from what I have read. You can buy a grenade for about £20.
BBC ...
‘The rise in possession of hand grenades - mainly unused stock from the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s - has come to symbolise Sweden's heated debate about violent crime as it heads towards an election in September.’
