the quality of the modern Bobby...

Out of all the professions you may encounter, a Policeman is statistically more likely to be convicted criminal than any other profession.
Seems ridiculous, but coppers don't automatically lose their job if they get found guilty of a crime.

I'm amazed that anyone with a brain thought that the percentages haven't been this way for years - it's just that more stuff comes to light these days. That's the only thing that has changed. You are still statistically more likely to get a good cop than a bad one. Doesn't help if you're the one that a copper like Wayne gets his hands on.

A 'bent' copper has been a thing since the oldest profession on the books was a thing.

The British tabloid media is a far worse animal IMO.

I think there's an element of the general breakdown of public services due to austerity/toriespolicywetdreamcometrue.

We have to take responsibility as a nation when it comes to public services, we have to understand that, policing is not hero coppers chasing down gangsters, healthcare is not big titted mummys who will cuddle you into their bosom when you feel poorly, social services isn't dozy home knit wooden earing wearing hippies giving free stuff to chavs and schools are not grange hill.

Weren't Black and Tans NI police?

Black marias aren't black any more.

The met have been institutionally rotten since the 1970s. Weeding out the shite isn't going to easy or trivial that's for sure.

[Polarbear]

Lets just get rid of the met. End of. Waste of space.

Of course then we will see the rise of institutionally crimilanised black culture won't we.

Now I'm away from the metropolis I note that even Devon & Cornwall Police are under "special measures" and fuck all happens down here. Two hopes for the Met...

Got pulled over in my Chevette. They said there were a lot of thefts from cars and had heard my stereo earlier in town. Whilst one was asking questions the other pulled out the stereo...well more like wrenched it out wires n all.

No apologies.

Was sabbing a hunt (Cheshire forest Foxhounds) and got arrested for likely to cause a breach of the peace (certainly not the case...plus it's a 'flexible law'). Despite the whipper-in hitting one sab on the head with a crop we were the ones taken away for the day...later learned that some police were active with that hunt.

No apologies when released.
Not interested in photo evidence.

Entering a music festival to have one question whilst the other emptied my rucksack onto the ground.
Didn't find anything. No apologies.

Guess those experiences clouded my thoughts... I've also had good experiences.

Fancy Dress party.
Copper dressed in body stocking with helmet (badge removed) that had a tube that shot out shaving foam...Plod as a giant nob that jizzed....very funny when you're a teenager. He also gave me some lovely Red Leb.

Riding back with a half of green in my pocket...got pulled as I was entering the 100mph club...'Follow me sign' Thought Ahh well that's the clean sheet gone and all the etcs that go with 100mph and drugs.

Luckily either he had no sense of smell or he decided to just do me for the speeding (both would have flucked-up quite a few things as it can turn out).
Sat in the back on that volvo was surreal and very smelly.... I used to get some excellent drugs...but now I'm a good boy (3 years..woot) and my body a temple..although ruined...because of the afore mentioned excellent drugs.

Late for work...me and the girlfriend had been on the nest for most of the night. Police steps out waving us down. 48 in a 30. Told us off..Let us off as we looked so flucking tired.

Party....New cop was with us. He'd obviously had his hedonistic days and wanted to party. The rest of us asked when they were back in. Turns out coke doesn't last as long as 10 days off work....so the person partied very well...no kittens harmed.

People who really really want to be cops shouldn't be cops. It's a messy job. Consistency is key ...nowt worse than a cop on a bad day.
Be objective and don't think that only sh!t stuff is going on with people that look or act differently than those with a silver spoon upbringing.

I don't live near London so only pick-up on The Mets goings-on occasionally ...They're a sh!te setup and appear to have way too many wrong'uns. The brand is tarnished...I suspect it'll be re-branded. With 'we now have 'external' investigations into those racists...rapists..abusers...stalkers that we used to employ'.

I won’t defend the minority of bad coppers, but using the modern, blanket term ‘institutional’ to tar everyone with the same brush will have made it pretty damn hard to patrol the streets last night. (Do they still ‘patrol’?).

As the man responsible for policing in London Sadiq Khan had been keenly Twittering false news about crime reductions in that London but he was also quick off the mark in supporting this latest report and blaming anyone but himself. Horrible man.

[Howling Terror]

The Poll tax when introduced in '89 was legal. A lot of people didn't agree with it...it got changed.

Just because something that was/is deemed legal doesn't make it correct.

That's as much of a rise you'll get from me Nick....if that was your intention.

Hunt sabbing does features violence but its invariably not the sabs doing it.

Ain't it the way that mass protest can often result in violence and/or destruction of the very things the protesters could rely on. Smashing up your local burger shop or off-licence..buses....a manifestation of frustrations.


Violence is the last resort with the majority of protestations settled by education, dialogue or pressure. Yet throughout human history it can come down to something like the Kett's Rebellion for example. Or a mass trespass or the French Revolution to get results.

Direct non-violent action was why I sabbed. M/cr Hunt Sabs were a varied group when I was active..Firefighter...builder...secretary..care worker and a few students. I never witnessed violence unlike the hunt supporters.
Tyres slashed on the van..windows smashed...threatening verbals... you know the scene.

The police were amazing and continue to be amazing in their willingness to turn a blind eye.
Hunting with dogs was banned and yet hunts still continue.
It's ineffective, time consuming, costly and at its roots cruel.

I don't need sympathy.
Protest and survive. (Nicked that from the band Discharge who nicked it from Edward Palmer Thompson).

Im a Sab, biggest in the Village, or so its told,
Some ya ya`s came over from Notts to run a supposed scented (fake) hunt, But i got footage of them chasing a live fox, so i did something about it, I tried to speak to the head yaya, with his horn and he literally jumped the hedge and fecked off,
Drove home and flagged down a local plod car that was about, two of the finest police officers you can train were questioned about the hunt, I asked where they were and they actually told me, I informed them they shouldnt go too far as there may be issues,
As I shot off one of my neighbours saw the interaction and said the two coppers looked at each other, shook their heads and shot off, in the opposite direction, wanted nothing to do with it,

So I got the TT250R out and made chase over the fields, he was fecking shocked to see me again, after we had words I blocked all their vehicles in for around 2 hours,
It was all over their Facebook about this Sab(Me) and I have to say they havent been back again.

And I have a few stories about bad coppers, but I actually dated a female officer for some time, and the stories I heard only made my hatred for them greater.

I did get my own back once, a story that made page 3 of the Sun, back when there were topless ladies on the same page, no I wasnt the model . . . .

^^^We should organise a protest.

For me it's important at the very least to understand why an often large group of people are willing to risk arrest.
