When adults “hate” the police the likelihood is the kids around you will “hate” the police! The police should be seen as someone who helps you when you need it. Respect for adults includes extended family, teachers, police etc. Shame the days are gone when the local Bobby could give a kid a clip round his ear and drag him home to his parents!

TBH, I’ve yet to meet a nice, polite police officer. Sure they came to my school to give talks and they were pleasant then but in the street or just doing their job they make ppl resent them with their arrogant, impolite, cockiness, esp the younger ones. Who wants to be spoken to like a piece of shyte by a PC that looks 14 years old?

A lot of them are also fat and unfit and incapable of walking a flight of stairs let alone running after a suspect. Part of getting their job is proving fitness – they should be made to maintain it or get the sack.

The whole force needs a shake up – get fit, stay fit or get out and put them all on customer service courses or give them personality transplants.

A lot of them go for soft targets and provoke a situation so they can make an arrest and spend their time dealing with that trivial matter as they haven’t got the guts to tackle real, or violent crime.

I’d rather have the army (unarmed) on the streets – at least they’re fit and wouldn’t be afraid to tackle gang and violence related crimes.

The police dealings I have had have always been very positive. I have got nothing but praise for the way they handle very difficult situations. I suspect that negative dealings have more to do with the way people respond to them. I watched a programme the other day and a police officer had done someone for drink driving. He said he was always polite to people until they gave him “attitude” and he then gave them “attitude” back. In other words, if you are polite and help them do their jobs, they will treat you with respect.

I know that there are always exceptions and I am sure that the police force contains people who are arrogant and extreme. I still think that overall, the police do a good job often in very difficult circumstances.

Well you’ve had good experiences then.

I’m still waiting for the police to solve the 1996 armed robbery on my pub. They didn’t take my fingerprints for elimination, or the cable ties used to tie me up for analysis. In fact they did feck all except drink alcohol whilst on duty. Total incompetance.

Last year, I got pulled over for driving with my front fog lights on. When I pointed out to the rather fat, unfit Officer that my car doesn’t have front fog lights he said, “well you best be going then but if you want me to find fault with your car, I will.” No apology for their incompetance, instead a veiled threat.

Real life cop shows on tv? Rude and arrogant – no wonder they put people’s backs up.

The way i was mistreated you would think i looked suspicious 8) :wink:

Sounds like the woman PC man handled you and used unreasonable force.

They should scrap the current police force and start again.

Or we could re learn respect for the police force as a whole instead of giving them a hard time when what they do doesn’t suit us. Back to the days a clip round the earhole and back to your parents rather than screaming blue murder when our poor precious little innocents get spoken to by the police, i mean how dare they

Good point, lets disrespect the police over everything they do then we’ll get a better police force wont we :roll:
you’re a fucking idiot
