Not very professional, I agree, but what did you expect? Hardly a watertight argument for proving that police aren't to be trusted.

Err, assaulted me for making a farmyard noise. How does he know I wasn't singin 'Old MacDonald' with my mate?

good on him.

What's got four legs and a cunt on it's back?

A Police Horse

He probably thought you were challenging his authority, which you obviously were. to reiterate, I don't think it's cool to do what you say he did, but it wasn't out the blue was it?!

He had a complex too - he was ginger

To be fair, you do have one of those "Hit Me faces".

Ha! Like your style

Having been assaulted by an on-duty policeman (kneed in thigh, no mark, couldn't walk properly for days) and watched them kill people on telly at protests I'd say I have massive reasons to hate them.

Ah! The old knee to the thigh, much more damaging than you might imagine.

Years ago police grabbed my friend when he was in a pub off Carnaby Street for smoking a joint (it wasn't him, he wasn't smoking anything, mistaken identity) - dragged him out and into a side alley where they hurled abuse at him for a few minutes and then did the same thing, kneed him in the thigh, he went down like a bag of shit, also hobbled around all week with a very big black/blue bruise.

There was a documentary on last night where the chairman of Tower Hamlets went undercover with various council services. One of these was the community police and they were fucking ridiculous , handing out a fixed penalty to a bloke for dropping a fag butt and warning a balloon seller for not having a street license. They were a joke and clearly just frustrated meat heads who couldn't get in the real force.

Roughing scousers up for no reason however, should be mandatory in IMO.

Not going to read back through these pages but I thought I'd impose my tuppence worth, as far as I can see it people have no problem with the majority of individual police members, it's their group mentality that people hate, their air of holier than thou bullshit...

About a month ago I was stopped because the tax was out on my car, it wasn't payed because we're in a bloody recession and there was no money available to me to pay it despite my business being owed over €250,000 by bastards who refuse to pay us or make any effort to pay us for work carried out... The sanctimonious little bastard cop who pulled me over told me that "Money is tight for all of us but I manage to pay my car tax"... Disgusting little public servant prick whose wage hasn't dropped one cent in the last few years telling ME times are tough... Dickhead then confiscated my car knowing it would prevent me from working the next day... It's this bullshit that makes people hate them...

Equal to that there are loads of wonderful people who are cops who've helped me out with lots of things over the years...

If you are that skint that you can't afford your tax, how would you have covered payments for damage and injuries caused to others if your were in an accident?

Fuzz had a point, no?

(not having a go, been there done that).

Would no tax invalidate your insurance?

It does here.

Had the pleasure to meet londons finest PCSO tonight. So polite.

He's their bad apple ruining their hard earned reputation of being busy body jobsworth ineffectual cunts.

Police are mocked for good reason. Respect is earnt.

We do this sort of shit so you don't have to....

When I was really young both my parents often reiterated that the police were not to be trusted. Don't look at them, don't talk to them, don't help them.

She's a pharmacist and a Rotarian. This mistrust is built over time.

oh.. and them time she watched Polis push me roughly off the kerb into the road on Lambeth Road when I was about 5 and asking for the time.

You have to be a cunt to be Polis.

You can see that pony being told the time right there.

Gonna revive this rather than bother the BLM thread. First S&S of the year today, in the private car park of my workplace. Buzzed through the gate with my fob and a squad car swiftly swerves into the gate before it closes and I'm half way through the car park to the building. I see them pull in and instantly know it's me, so step off the bike and wait for them to roll up.

4 uniformed officers jump out of the vehicle, surprisingly hands off to start with. Of course, as soon as I don't give my name and ask if I'm detained, they panic and slap some section something of something something to secure a search on me. Apparently people cycle through our private gated car park with stolen goods in the past so I conveniently match that criteria (plenty of other people cycling through as this goes on). Also, the gates are access only so no fob = No entry 🤦‍♂️

It's the first time this year but I'll guarantee it's not the last. Ever since my early teens I've been stopped and searched regularly, a few times a year at least, often when I'm cycling.
I've never committed a crime in my life, yet one of the Met's goons finds an excuse, year on year, to empty my pockets out in public areas. Do you know how embarrassing and degrading it is to have a stranger empty your pockets a few times a year because you look like you might have committed a crime, or you look like someone who had committed a crime previously in that area. Honestly this happens way too much for me to swallow that excuse every few months while some power tripping pig goes through my pockets.

There was one time I got mobbed by 4 plain clothes officers while just walking, minding my own business. They all ran at me from different directions. Of course, I look just like a guy that's been robbing something or other in the area. Won't give my name, fine, section blah blah and we'll go through your bag and pockets.
On this occasion I only had to walk 5 minutes around the corner before a separate, uniformed officer recognises me (he fucking didn't) as some other criminal that he's after. That was 2 searches, in the same hour, on an adjacent road.
I naïvely though taking a complaint to the local station was a good idea, just got a nice laugh in my face and told no such thing is going to happen.

I have a load of stories like this. I don't think I'll ever come to terms with this idea of "giving them a break"

On a less personal note, this popped up on my YouTube feed recently and was an interesting watch/listen. I had no idea this Line of Duty show had such massive viewing numbers, maybe helped along by covid 🤷‍♂️

The Met are institutionally racist, as long as that is not challenged then this will keep on happening.

We, as a society, need to make it happen but too many people turn a blind eye.
