The grumpy thread

Just watching a programme about cops on C5 

Copper gets called to a guy brandishing a knife which he threatens the copper with so the guy gets the dog , only he slashes it across the face cutting an ear off then attacks the copper , even thogh the dog is badly cut he still responds to the command and goes in again , copper gets stabbed in the hand but the dog gets a grip of his wrist and he drops the knife 

He gets arrested but unfortunately died on remand , shame 

Then 

They stopped a guy in an unmarked car doing at least 40 in a 20 , he gets out , seems OK, lot of cash in the car so they question him , as soon as they say are there any drugs in the car he's off in the car with a copper still hanging onto the door , it ends up with the copper deciding if he doesn't let go he's dead ,so he lets go at speed, broken wrist multiple lacerations 

Gets to court , judge starts his summing up , protect the police etc etc they think yes he's going down 

No , suspended sentence , where the fuck do they get these people from.

 

 

 

It costs around £40k a year to incarcerate a cat A prisoner. That's why there is a reluctance to send offenders down.

Then replace "incarcerate" with "incinerate", problem solved.

Seeing how deeply China has embedded itself into Britain, surely a deal could be done to ship our convicts off to one of the concentration camps in Xinjiang? Out of sight, out of mind....

[somewhatfoolish]

I think one of the more 'sporty' Home Secretaries of recent years did ponder the idea of shipping lags off to somewhere cheaper; a Best Exotic Marigold Strangeways if you will.

Why the heck do breakdown companies seem to be universally incapable of keeping tabs on how long it will take to get to someone?  Every time you request an update (as per their instructions) it's always "about another half hour to an hour."

[Talbot]

Because they often have to divert a patrol to somewhere else.  If you're not in a dangerous situation, but someone else calls in who is, they'll divert the patrol.

If you're a bloke on your own, pulled off the road in a low-risk situation, you're getting seen last.

[Zelandeth]

True...but they could at least tell you that.  It's when they tell you things like "You're the very first person the driver will be seeing when he comes on duty in five minutes.." yet you're still there two hours later it grates.

If it's "an hour, subject to not being called out elsewhere..." Then just say that...

From memory, they also get paid by police /highways so that temptation will ALWAYS remain.

The AA does provide a mobile tracker app, so at least you can see when your nominated service(wo)man gets diverted elsewhere.

For the price the AA charge I'd expect them to deliver a brand new Rolls-Royce to my location for me to take to my destination while they recover, repair and fully valet my vehicle before dropping it at my door...

They have to charge that much, as they lost money every time they had to recover my CX from wherever it decided to down tools.

There's very clear camera footage. 2 registration numbers, clear sight of the people involved. If the police can't catch them, there's no point in having police at all. 

The Astra will be passing through CCTV all the way home, so if the police can't get within 200 yards of them, they ain't trying hard enough.

Would have been tricky given I was driving at the time!

First time I've ever been stung just completely randomly like that without any reason or warning.

That was a morning of my life I won’t get back. Missed the FoD open weekend for 1 missed bin collection and continuing with my risk assessment type ups, only to be told I can’t use a workstation in the depot because risk of spreading. Yesterday I was told I could to save me dismantling the work from home setup.

Couldn’t leave depot as it has to be manned all morning and nobody else in.

 

I have a feeling tomorrow morning will be the same if I get a call.

All the copppers were quite young , they’ve learned a lesson , next stop any suspicion keys out of the ignition I’d think.

where did all these scumbags come from , an hour watching this programme saw acid thrown at a crowd of people including a copper, one stabbed and one dragged up the street 

Fuck tazers and pepper spray , these cunts need a bullet 

I'm going to have to avoid Facebook before I have a heart attack 

When did London turn into such a shithole with criminals behaving like they don't have any worries about what might happen if they get caught.

Knife attack , i like the old lady mime , like it happens every day

I haven't bothered with fb or the news for a couple of months now. I feel a lot better and I'm happier for it.

I think London will soon suffer the ‘donut effect’ like a lot of big cities in the USA. When people with money simply move out of the centre as the crime is so bad, leaving just the scum behind so it gets worse.

It's a reminder not to vote Tory.

[rainagain]

Yep, who’d have thought slashing Police budgets would have had this effect?

The worst thing is when police budgets are cut, the crime figures often actually go down as there’s less police detecting crimes.

It has always been a shithole. Some bits of it are more expensive than others, and the whole is more expensive than almost anywhere else. 

Still a shithole, though.

Fucking ebay buyers.

How long would you guys leave it before re-listing something if no contact has been made?

5-7 days. Then "non-payer" report to eBay, plus blocking of offender to prevent another timewasting bid attempt.

thats the annoying thing, the gobshite has paid (albeit 4 days after auction end - which was 3 days ago) but not replied to any messages. I think their time is up tbh.

EDIT: I should add, its a dishwasher, not exactly going to be posting it.
