Fratelli Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) You would assume given recent events that the Met would be keen to reassure the folk of London that they are trustworthy and there to protect them. This feels like they've deliberately set out to make the situation worse, to say it's an own goal doesn't really cut it. I think we've seen sufficient evidence over the last couple of years to say for sure that Police in the UK are utterly incompetent when it comes to dealing with large crowds and tend to just shit the nest at the first sign of any sort of situation. The scenes tonight are reminiscent of watching Spanish police deal with a bunch of rowdy English away fans. Whether this is down to a lack of resources of a lack of training i'm not sure, although not unique to UK police to be fair to them.

You can't thirst for heavy handed policing and then expect that you'll be able to turn the tap on and off as you please. The history of the police tells you that's not how it works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHOCKING. Police Scotland facilitating Sevco celebrations last week - wrong. Met handcuffing females ostensibly on a peaceful vigil in memory of a victim murdered by one of their own employees - wrong. Two wrongs do not make a right. Not to mention Princess Kate being allowed to pay her respects when not wearing a face covering. Plod being as effective as Shane Duffy in the Celtic defence during that episode. Double standards abound. Perhaps your screaming vitriol should be more appropriately directed elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Police should indeed have acted last week in Scotland, however two wrongs don't make a right. I think you'll also find that there were many women among the idiotic Rangers hoards, so it's nothing to do with Men can or Women can't etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how do you account for that 'psychopathic nut job' being employed by the polis then? Why wasn't he picked up during the so-called 'vetting procedure'? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, life just isn't that simple. As for "candlelit vigils" , I mean what ???

I don't think I've ever seen a poster make such an utter c**t of themselves in such a short space of time. This during a period on P&B that includes Kilt and Kincy. I think what's happened here is that you thought you had a point, made a c**t of it and have been rightly ridiculed for being stuck in the 1970s. You've then decided to double down on it because you're either: Drunk As thick as f**k A monumental creep All of the above I'm going No.4 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibsFan Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 1 hour ago, AllSaint said: Given they are risking their life to deal with illegal gatherings with literally no adherence to social distancing, they are the victims here. I was there at Clapham Common this evening (cycled home before nightfall so didn't see it kick off), it was about as socially distanced as you could expect for a mass, impromptu gathering of hundreds of people on account of a police officer being charged with the abduction and murder of a local woman. Again, the police had the chance to allow a completely peaceful and organised vigil/protest. They and their fascist bully chums at the Home Office decided to try intimidation instead. Scum of the earth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I live in hope that as the years go on, that slowly but surely the gammon attitudes of the WATTOOs of this world disappear and the world gets a little better each day. Almost every opinion he’s ever given on here I’ve disagreed with. One of the worst cretins on the site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 12 hours ago, Sweet Pete said: I know several serving police officers. The idea that they are bastions of goodness is absurd. It's an open secret that people only join to get some power and that they're of a particularly unpleasant personality type in the first place. . Really? All the people I know from around my area who joined were good people. Still are as far as I'm aware. They all seemed to have a pretty similar reason to joining which was that it was a decent paying job with a good pension if they stuck it out. It's not entirely surprising that you'll get dickheads in it, not sure how many police officers there are in the UK but I'd imagine it's allot, and if you have allot of people you're going to have arseholes in there. I genuinely can't remember many times where I've spoken to or had dealings with any on duty policemen/women so I can't get on the hype train that they're all c***s. 8 hours ago, 101 said: this is an unacceptable way to police such an event. The military police guy (maroon epaulettes) looks like he's spoiling for a fight Understandable why you thought it might be military police, they do wear red to distinguish them, however that isn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only driving instructor we had at school would constantly be on his phone texting a younger woman he was having an affair with and on several occasions he showed up drunk for my lessons. A top guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
