I think sad,pathetic and bitter would be more appropriate. He's on here so much because he hasn't got any friends. After all,would you stand at a bar him!!

That's right, call me names again.
Just shows the level of people that are in the police.
You really have no answer to these three criminal coppers getting arrested, do you?

Watch out Dukey Boy! He's fitting you up! Can't trust these bloody coppers can you.

Bent the lot of 'em.

You should know.

And I mean EVERY post making ridiculous accusations, with absolutely no acceptance of any other point of view. Would you enjoy logging on to find one nutter attacking you at every opportunity.

You are distorting the truth (no surprise there).

1) Every post I make isn't about plod. Some are.
2) Look at the original post on this thread, is that a ridiculous accusation? It is the factual reporting of a major story in the news section of this forum. Can you tell the difference?
3) Why should I accept other points of view when they are wrong? You obviously think that you are right all the time and are unable to entertain other views.
4) I am not a nutter. You keep calling me names, as do the other BiBs. This is just an attempt at bullying me. Which has the opposite effect. Also you are breaking forum rules.
5) I am not attacking you, I am trying to help you by making constructive criticism so the police can improve themselves. They need to.
6) It is not "one nutter", a lot of the criticism of plod on here has come from a wide range of members. Are they nutters too?

I suggest you grow up and grow some. All you do by making wild and innacurate accusations like this is to bring further discredit to the police.

Care to demonstrate how you have been constructive? I don't see it. All you have done is post a link to show that there are some bent police, great, good job, do you think this deserves a medal?

There are criminals in all walks of life, try and get your obviously small mind round that idea. Bent plod isn't a UK only thing, its in every single country on the earth.

Constructive: I have tried to analyse what is causing the problems. Excessive powers, politicisation, freemasonry, canteen culture etc etc.

I know there are criminals in all walks of life. I have met quite a few. But the police are supposed to be on the other side of the fence, the force that protects society from criminals. So when a totally innocent newspaper seller or Brazilian electrician ends up dead at the hands of the police one has to ask questions. The same with these three bent met plod. Do you want it kept secret, swept under the carpet? Or is it a legitimate news item for people to know about?

LOL just had to toss the Masons in again didnt you

You are not trolling oh no, Ok then I will bite show us what you see as the problem with anyone being in the masons Bib or otherwise

Or the Lions or the Buffs, or a local Golf Club or any other social club ( Automotive clubs would be a really good one as many Bib are in all manner of car clubs)

Time to pony up with some hard information rather than tossing purile innuendo about and claiming " I am being constructive"

Another totally horrendous thing is that coppers are allowed to be freemasons.
Lots and lots of them are.

Masonic rules state that members must do all they can to support each other, to look after each other and to keep each others' lawful secrets.

Which creates an instant conflict of interest. If you are a non mason involved in a police matter against a mason you know whose side the police are going to take. We have a two class criminal justice system.

The masonry explains lots of very strange police decisions when they go after people they shouldn't and don't go after people they should. Just because the masonry is secret do not underestimate its size and power. 300,000 members in the UK is a lot of influence.

"You must conceal all crimes of your brother Masons...and should you be summoned as a witness against a brother Mason be always sure to shield him...It may be perjury to do this, it is true, but you're keeping your obligations."

Have they taken your licence away recently?

Three relatives of the officers – two detective sergeants and a constable – were also detained by anti-corruption officers, who have scrutinised tens of thousands of pounds of expenses claimed by the trio.

Scotland Yard would not disclose the size of the alleged swindle but sources said the accusations were ‘extremely serious’.

The detectives, who were based in Yorkshire for two years, were arrested early yesterday as part of a force-wide inquiry into purchases made on Met American Express cards.

The inquiry was opened after auditors found nearly £2million of expenses were unaccounted for.

The Met continues to complete checks on spending by the holders of 3,500 American Express corporate charge cards in use since 2006.

Auditors were asked to review the way a number were used after fears of widespread misuse surfaced.

A total of 35 cases, some including spending of more than £70,000, were referred for further investigation. The credit cards were initially only issued to counter-terrorist detectives and those involved in diplomatic and royalty protection.

The Metropolitan Police Authority has said internal control of payments had been unacceptable.

Former detective sergeant John Gallagher, 52, was sentenced to an eight-month prison sentence suspended for two years last year.

The alcoholic admitted misconductin a public office for abuse of his corporate charge card and repaid £9,622.

Former detective sergeant Richard De Cadenet, 49, was jailed for ten months after pleading guilty to spending more than £70,000 on his police-issue credit card.

One officer awaits trial and eight received written warnings.
