So many of you really seem to equate ALL policemen as being of the same mettle..they are not.Some of them are decent people doing their best whilst being tarred by armchair critics as a bunch of violent speed freaks with no regard for the public.
I wonder how many of us would fare as policemen and if we could actually take split second decisions that do involve life and death decisions and make the correct decision. |
I have made it clear on many occasions that there are a few bad apples that need to be got rid of. Talking of being judgmental my uncle is a copper when I was about 15 I stole some money off my mother he took me to see the chief constable as a frightener. Well he made a judgment on me that day thats lasted about 10 or more years after I had totally cleaned myself up and my twin cousins were visiting my uncle (his nieces my mum has 4 siblings) I was at his brothers house and he told me about the visit so he called my policeman uncle and asked if I could go visit. He said once a thief always a thief and he refused to let me visit . So we are all capable of being judgmental
He is also the same one who was violent and the old boys brigade covered it up
I judge as I see on individual merit. I have had my run ins with the law in my youth and I have experienced both sides good coppers and bad coppers so I do know what I am talking about
