Who’d do the job today,would you? I've more reason to be anti police than some on here but look where we are Cardiff,the met and dogs killed and more problems,police Scotland and now a boy critically injured in Lancaster. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65717515Its easy to sit on here sitting in judgement (yeah I do too) but it’s got to be a a job where you can’t do right for doing wrong,sure there are people who shouldn’t be in the job but you’ve got the world and his wife phones at the ready to record every last bit but they’re reacting to to stressful situations day in day out. Yeah s**t happens but we have to remember they’re all that stands between us and mayhem. |

Well since they say speeding saves hardly any time, and use that to dismiss any reasons one might give when fining and prosecuting people, seems like there is no real timesaver for police either. Either its true or it isn't. Certainly didn't save these officers any time getting to their destination did it! Better to arrive safely as they say. Seems to me there is no excuse. The police officer was speeding, should be prosecuted for the same and for dangerous driving. |

Police in a pursuit lights and sirens are allowed to speed they are subject to the law if it goes pear shaped and they’ve done wrong but you can’t just let scrotes to speed off laughing. Also the fire and ambulance service are also allowed to ignore the speed limits and traffic signals but are also subject to the law if it goes wrong. Would you have the cops sticking to the limit and traffic signals if someone was at risk,the same for fire services get there later and people die or property totally destroyed,the same for ambulance services seconds could mean the difference between life and death. |

Thanks for mansplaining the obvious. I'm not a woman so there is no need. Speed limits are for safety allegedly. Speeding doesn't save time allegedly. There is therefore no need for anyone to speed in any circumstance including police. If this results in deaths so be it. Risking more lives is not a sensible or worthwhile trade off. |

I've always been pro cop, until now. It's not a police force it's a woke force and an absolute embarrassment. I doubt public confidence in the police has ever been lower. Chief Constables who's officers do not enforce the law should be sacked.

The tax payers are even a more unhappy lot, paying for a not fit for purpose service, mollycoddling criminals while law abiding citizens have to put up with it.

Just listened to a retired Detective Chief Superintendent on GB News who said he is very uncomfortable with the way the police are allowing protestors to block roads while arresting people who complain about it. He said if he was still a serving police officer it would not be happening.

Politics has been blurring the line between criminals and victims for decades ( the case of the member of the public pulling illegal protestors off the road and getting arrested is just on of many examples ). The police and their philosophy behind policing is just a symptom .
So many of the public prefer subjective virtual signalling to cold hard reality until they become victims .
Near where I used to live a nasty violent youth who had a side line as a drug runner crashed into a car and was killed while riding his souped up ‘ moped’ .
The news papers said nothing about him but praise, any mention of him on social media was scrutinised by his family and anything but praise was met with threats and to top it all on the day of his funeral scores of his friends went on the rampage , grid locked the town and did a lot of damage .
The cops did fuck all to catch him in the first place , fuck all about the threats and disappeared during the rampage .

Risking more lives is not a sensible or worthwhile trade off. I'm inclined to agree. There is very little that the police attend that genuinely requires an emergency response. |

He said if he was still a serving police officer it would not be happening. But probably did fuck all while he was actually still serving. Funny how they only find their voice after they're safely retired. |

The obvious point being, disruptive anarchists were again allowed to break the law by blocking the public highway but were protected by woke police who instead arrested people for attempting to go about their lawful business. A few months ago the police arrested bystanders, journalists I think, who were covering these morons blocking the M25. At that time the police apologised and announced an inquiry. It seems the woke police don't learn from their woke 'mistakes'. |
