Was about to post this up in a new thread.

Glad I checked this out first. Wink



I think a lot of us would of done the same in their situation. But I can also see the other side where they should be out there doing something. Thumbs Up

Yes it's nice seeing them play around, but I doubt the people who's house is being invaded by gypos will see it the same way.

Do that and you will just be left with a higher percentage of self righteous idiots with the power to pull you over.

All the best

I can be, I'm not actually to bothered about it. Have you ever tried ringing the police and been told there's nobody available at the moment?
Last time our car got done, it took three days to see a police officer! I lived over the road from the cop shop, 50yrds maximum.

Guess it just irks me a bit, I'm no killjoy, but they are in a position of responsability. If it was a group of builders sledging down the hill, fairy muff! My conservatory can wait for that extra 5 minutes, what about your missus being raped on the other side of the park? Could she wait?

Tbh with the "let off" bit of my original post, It was more a case of this video will go round the Internet and the news, making your friendly local police force look even more daft and a waste of time in public opinion.
Any other job, you'd be sacked for bringing your company to disrepute! I'm sure people have been sacked for far less.

Look at how much of the country took days off cos of the snow (either because they genuinely couldn't get to work, or because they wanted the time off, possibly to play sledging). Do you think all those people should be dealt with in the same way you think those cops should?

Are "all" these people who wanted to play sledging in uniformed jobs?
The consequences of office jockeys and blue collar workers having a snow day doesn`t really compare when you look at it.
So, that report for monday morning won`t be finished on time, or it`ll take an extra day to knock out the product for that important order.
Whereas we`re always led to believe that the police are doing such a fantastic job, in reality we all know they faff about to much as it is. In my mind its the same as the bankers ruining the country and raking in the bonus payouts. Just smacks as a bit of a Fvck you to the taxpayer.
Could they not have gone sledging off shift?

I'm sure if an emergency call had come through they would have answered/responded to it. Rolling Eyes

If you were being stabbed in the face, i`d rather they all turn up in the riot van as quick as possible, than the five minutes extra it took for them to wait for steve to walk back up the hill with his "sledge"

Still its a laugh, innit! "keep smiling"

It might be one of these more 'human' policemen who lets you off with a warning next time you're caught speeding. I guess you'll be on here complaining they're not doing their job properly...

I'm fairly sure that Oxford didn't descend into anarchy whilst they spent "a few minutes" at that hill. Do you complain when police officers are spending time 'building bridges' at public shows etc. After all, they could be out catching your rapist rather than showing a human side to the public. A quote from the bloke who recorded the footage;

dude with camera phone wrote:
They were jovial and it was nice to see officers taking time out to get involved.They were only there for a few minutes so I don't think they should be criticised.

Since I've put the footage up lots have people have commented saying how good it is to see officers having a sense of humour. It makes a change of the image you usually read about.

Now It's well known on here that I'm not exactly the biggest fan of the police, but seriously what the fuck is the problem?

To be honest I'm more concerned that this is deemed to be news than I am about this whole fuss.

Smile You know, that's a rare kind of post on BCF, one that is genuinly heartwarming.
Could you immagine a world where every police officer just thought "fuck it", dropped their kit and started to do things like this with a big smile all the time. /daydream.

Also the whole argument about how this is supposed to somehow be at the taxpayers' expense, "oh noes the shields are getting damaged!"
...Am I missing something here or is that not a RIOT shield?
Probably constructed from a ballistic grade reinforced polymer fibre something, designed to withstand chairs, bottles, molotovs, rocks, garabage cans and whatever other street furniture is to hand.
Yet people are complaining that a tall but lean officer might break it? Jeez people really need to start thinking for themselves. Rolling Eyes

These guys don't strike me as the 'self righteous, take everything with a stern face and harsh attitude' type.
These officers were having a laugh just like anybody else is entilted to and nobodies getting hurt as a result.

I'd put these lot in the same category as the officer in the unmarked 5 series that I overtook at around 50miles and hour whilst knee down on a roundabout,
They pulled up and waited on the layby for me and I spotted them as I came back around.
I pulled up expecting to lose my license again, the one officer walked up to me and started to talk in a very pleasant, even a jovial manor once I had removed my lid.
He did the usual checks then to my massive disbelief told me that he wasn't going to take any action,
explaining that he knew it was a common area for this sort of behaviour and that his partner was a biker and wouldn't let him hear the end of it.
He took a photo of my plate (whilst pissing himself in laughter because of the size of it)and advised me to lay low for a bit.

Therefor, if the boys in blue need to occasionally take a break and goof around abit, then aslong as it's at nobodies expense then maybe it's a good thing.
Maybe it's this sort of thing that allows officers to remain level headed and not actually use fair and proper judgement in thier dealings with the public.
I know I'd much rather have them 'wasting time' like this than poking thier nose in business that doesn't concern them. Thumbs Up

You seem to think their wages are paid in magic beans and fluffy bunny hugs.

I don't really give a hoot what's going on with their pay, it ain't my pay and it really isn't that precious...
As long as they aren't bothering me I don't give a crap.
Much rather see a copper taking 4 minutes out to slide down a hill than see an MP completely take
the liberty and charge the taxpayer for doing the same down the embankment of his fucking moat.
