I have to say I am inclined to agree with where you are going here. Having had a few run ins with the OB in my time, in my limited experience, if you are nice, they tend to be fairly reasonable back. If you start being lippy they'll make things difficult for you. I have been on the end of unfair...

You've only called one person that on this thread. Very unlike you.

Have you noticed how every other contributor to this thread apart from you seems to be able to have a relatively civil discussion about this, despite their differing viewpoints? Have a little read back through it if you don't believe me.

Fine on the thread chap, it's just you. Quite obviously on a wind up.

Blimey, you're an idiot. I'll remove myself from this fishing expedition now.

Glad to hear it. We all have a stake in the police force being as good as it can possibly be. I for one am especially worried by the cuts to police force budget (which is probably a debate for another thread.) It seems our current Government are expecting the police to do more with less, while...

Yeah, I'm not sure that's been expressed too well. I like the way Hastings Gull has put it, which to my interpretation is more of a unconscious bias in the favour of your immediate colleagues, which to be fair, I think all sides of this debate would recognise as being a reasonable perspective.

Ignoring your pub rant about the 'professionally outraged' as it is such a cliche it's actually embarrassing, I'm sure we agree there are two types of officers the police could well do without - 1) Incompetent ones 2) Corrupt ones, same as any job. Surely the quickest way for the police to...

Where did I say all police are incorruptible? I said people expect that standard. We do don't we? Or are we actively trying to recruit corrupt police? I also said 'a lot of the time' in my second point. Of course I'm aware that some police go to prison. Many are allowed to resign or retire with...

The bit that isn't made clear in the headline was that she was arrested. I assume it was the combination of the two that completely cooked her goose.

In support of your supposition, I did see this the other day - http://www.eastbourneherald.co.uk/news/sussex-police-officer-sacked-after-testing-positive-for-cocaine-1-7715261 I mean obviously police officers shouldn't be using cocaine but it's arguable whether too many other professions would...

Rightly or wrongly (and I think rightly) people expect peerless standards of incorruptibility from the police. They should be held to a higher (not lower) standard. I don't think this is helped by a lot of the time when police officers are caught bang to rights in misdemeanor, they are allowed...

Whilst obviously the abuse itself is absolutely horrifying for the victims and their families, realistically, there are always going to be bad apples in the police, the nature of the job attracts them. What concerns me time and time again is the lengths police forces will go to cover up and...
