Police sledging

Is it OK for police officers to sledge on their shields

Yes. At least they aren't out nicking people for minor motoring offences which is their other favourite pastime.

Police sledging.

Where is the problem? No harm done and they were all available if needed.
This extreme weather has put a lot of pressure on all of us.
The police need rest and relaxation like everyone else.
I think that the officer who threatened action against them will loose respect over this.

I'd want more than that to deal with the drunken scrotes in Gloucester on a Friday night :)

Fair play to em, Who can honestly say they have not had a laugh at work which if caught would have got them in trouble wih the boss?

Mind you shows how smart they are if they film it and put it on tinternet doh !!!!! talk about enough rope :D:D:D
 
sledging

It was not the police that put it on u-tube

Anyway they are human beings not bogeymen and
they are entitled to have a bit of lighthearted fun
now and then.

"No it's not" but I seem to be in a minority! But if you reflect on how many times do you hear on the media "it took the police one hour to respond", well it looks as we know why now!
 
Chesterfield hooligan-£1000 p/w,where are on earth do you get that figure from? I have 20 yrs service and it would appear that I am due a massive amount of back pay.

Paul C-Do you seriously think that they would have done that had there been jobs outstanding?.

AJS-as an officer who spends massive amounts of time trying to get charges and get people to court I take exception to your remark regarding fabricating evidence.

So how do we hear there are delays in answering emergency calls? And such things as PC Plod driving with blues and twos to deliver a birthday card and hitting and killing somebody, as was reported on the media over christmas! And there are other cases, in the North East two officers have been charged with passing on guns that were in police storage, I think there is a culture of institutional indiscipline. As this incident proves! I know I'm in a minority, until people realise it is a deeper problem! Not only must the law be carried out, it must be seen to be carried out and this incident will bring it into disrespect!

Paul please feel free to check out response times on home office websites. Apart from the occasional case highlighted in the Daily Wail I think you will find they are quite high percentage wise.

How can you equate an officer knocking over someone with what you have seen on youtube.

Again how can you equate officers commiting theft of firearms with the youtube coverage.

An allegation of institutionalised indiscipline is a bit of a slur when you have mentioned 2 incidents and if you include the youtube coverage that would make a total of 6 officers which compared to 130.000 + officers hardly makes it institutionalised.

I have a mate/colleague who walked 14 miles to work on 3 occasions over the new year week. Does anybody mention this effort?You know they dont because worthy efforts and an obvious devotion to duty do not get mentioned when its easier to criticise

For the record I dont agree with the youtube incident but lets treat it as it is,a group of officers relaxing for a moment after pushing cars in snow all day which has been dealt with in force and not some example of an undercurrent of indiscipline. Who knows maybe the officers had worked flat out without a break as is often the case for 8 hours plus

Well said Steve, For what its worth I think the police and the other emergency services did a fantastic job over the last couple of weeks, no doupt many lives were saved because those guys turned up for work when the majority of the country stayed in their warm houses.

Its easy to critise these jobs but its a job I would not want to do and for that I'm greatful someone else does :)

We all know how the government inflate or deflate figures!

And what about the squaddies in Afghanistan who fight for weeks on end? Without a break.
 
Nice to see there human side! good points made. I like the one about not nicking drivers on the road for stupid things.

and we have all done pranks at work! havny we?

Pretty sad that we have individuals that want to criticize the police at the slightest opportunity. When the police are not there when they need them to wipe there bottoms, they are crying there eyes out.

Why can they not support the police, who are all Jock Thamson's bairns like us, who are out there meeting the total scum. Watched briefly a tv program where a scum bag who had 27 pages of convictions demanding his rights.

Its about time we sent these scum out to Afghanistan to learn what life is about and if they happen to be cannon fodder , so what
 
I'm suprised there aren't more yes votes. Police are human despite there often misguided priorities. As for the officers concerned they were surely on their break (?)
 
I can see why they were reprimanded if on duty but I wouldn't see it as bringing the uniform into disrepute. They weren't doing anything illegal, just having a larf ;)
