Yep. In fact I'm currently in the middle of an extended kicking square in the knackers for something I did a few weeks back.
Not really life or death and can't go into specifics but a decision was made to do something against the norm which despite being OK'd by the senior officer on scene at the time is now being questioned by some office dwellers.
Aside from that there are some shockers. The death of a woman who fell down a mineshaft in Ayrshire being the main example with the Police and Fire brigade having to stand about while she died as the fire brigade senior officer refused to let his men go down and save her.
