Words fail me

Quote:

A police sergeant has been ordered to undertake a "management advice course" because he swore while dealing with a violent and abusive criminal who had threatened officers during a two-hour siege.

Throwing items at cops, attacking them with a knife, threatening to shoot them, smashing the place up with a hammer and generally being a not very nice person yet when a cop uses ONE swear word when speaking to him the cop gets carpeted for it.

Quote:

He says he is discussing legal action with his solicitor and plans to lodge a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights.

Oh I wonder how he is funding this bit of court action.

Quote:

He was convicted of affray at Newcastle Crown Court in September and given a 12-month suspended prison sentence.

Nice. Anyone wanting to attack the Police, hold them hostage etc. can rest easy knowing they'll probably not get a stay at HM hotel for a bit.

Oh for goodness sake - this is just childish - I really wish, our government would, well, I can;t say here :P

Can't wait for the cop-knockers to turn up and tell us how the sergeant deserved it.

Lol - I personally think it's stupid, regulator for this, course for this - a boring waste of time and effort government course, no doubt funding by..um.. us.

Being swore at upset him? Oh, the poor sensitive soul

Yep. Amazing how some people that can't go more than 3 words without swearing get all upset when spoken to in 'robust' terms.

I've often wondered why anyone would want to be a police officer in this PC obsessed country and this sort of thing just adds to my incredulity - I wouldn't do it for any amount of money!

It seems to me that the current 'system' bends over backwards to excuse, forgive or overlook all sorts of hideous and obnoxious behaviour on the part the miscreant sections of our society but doesn't afford anywhere near that level of 'understanding' to the police we all rely to protect us from their antics.

I remember a policeman friend telling us a tale about arresting a TV/TS, who played up big style.
He said she/he had on poison perfume, and the smell made him feel sick.
His Mother then went and bought his wife some, just for a laugh.
His wife puts it on now when she wants him to stay clear of her!

I'm pretty sure what ever one was used he'll have heard it before.

I've got a hole in my heart and they used a Taser, which could have killed me.

Well maybe then you should have calmed down when one was pointed at you and small red dots appeared on your chest if you felt a medical condition could cause the Taser to kill you.
