      Police shocked that the mean violent people they employed to arrest are in fact mean and violent.

      They’re lucky they’re not being covered in shit considering how little they’ve covered themselves in glory in recent times.

      As for the case in question, yeah there’s a lot of county lines-type criminality up here. Quad bikes tend to be the vehicle of choice.

      The sad reality is that I am just not sure who to support here.

      Criminals are occasionally violent.

      Police officers are occasionally violent.

      The latter tend to do it with the full support of their colleagues and the entire criminal justice system.

      As someone who works outdoors in London quite a lot, I am fully aware that I am at more risk of trouble with the police, even if I am honestly and legitimately doing nothing wrong, than I am at risk of trouble with traditional criminality.

      The police do what’s easy, as opposed to what’s useful. Winding me up is easy.

      So in the end I am not that surprised that the criminals have realised that smacking a police officer in the face works just as well as it does on anyone else. It’s a grim and awful situation but I can see how it’s happened.

      That explains why they’re much happier to arrest grandmas over facebook statuses. Why put yourself in danger solving real crime that harms the public, when you could just pursue the regime’s enemies on social media from the comfort of your desk?

      I have seen so many police officers do so many terrible things first hand in my time.
      Like any profession giving people a lot of power, those with sociopathic traits are drawn to them. Those that dont fit in with this often leave resulting in a toxic place. Very similar to places like DWP.

      To the (imo) very, very few actual decent police officers out there: You are a real life fucking super hero.
      To qualify as decent it means not keeping quiet when fellow officers do shitty thigns but ‘if’ you are out there, im being genuine, you are a super hero.

      Given the focus on harrasing people for mean tweets, or words online. I can’t say I’m surprised. There’s a seething anger brewing in this country. The response to Southport riots has only dampened it temporarily.

      I’ve seen a lot of people on this sub defend the violence inflicted on the Police by the rioters a few months back.

      Police here. It happens frequently. A cop is assaulted on average once every 20 minutes.

      We aren’t given the equipment needed to defend ourselves. I’ve been sent to calls of people with knives without even having a Taser.

      While I’m not saying we shouldn’t be held to account, many of us are terrified of using our equipment because of the public opinion, IOPC, complaints, court etc.

      Like every other public service policing is utterly broken.

      When the Mayor of London seems to care more about a violent criminal then a police officer doing his job it must be demotivating

      Cops shouldn’t expect to be regularly assaulted at incidents , it should be a rarity rather than commonplace.
      Courts have always been weak on those who assault emergency workers too.

      I might doxx myself here but a few years ago a guy went on a drunken rampage, stuck his keys between his fingers to act as knuckle dusters and punched three people and pierced their skins doing so, when I got there with my colleague the guys friend got involved, I witnessed my colleague get thrown 5+ feet by him because of the guys size and shape, I managed to get the guy into a submission hold and pinned to the floor but got headbutted three times for the effort, 5 injured in total. Guy got a 6 month suspended sentence.

      Recently a guy was suffering mental health crisis and it took 7 of us to keep him pinned because of his size and shape, he was that strong he kicked a locked-in-place ambulance gourney off a kerb into my knee twice, in the back of the ambulance it took three of us to keep him pinned down whilst he was also strapped up on the bed, I got spat in the face easily 6 times in the 10 minute journey to hospital, he tried to bite my fingers off god knows how many times. I took so many blows to the knee that I couldn’t weight bear for ages.

      Violence against emergency workers is at ridiculous levels and the only people that care about it are your direct supervision, above that it’s a statistic on a spreadsheet somewhere.

      I pride myself on being able to talk to people and effectively communicate, but because there’s no punishment behind assaulting emergency workers, people are more inclined to do it and make some claim at a later point that gets them off the hook.

      Criminals resist arrest isn’t exactly the most shocking headline ever.

    14. Safe_Regular_4968 on

      Thats because the police are expected to be treated like shit and when they defend themselves it is ridiculed by the media and IOPC.

      Post body cam policing is only going to get worse
