Would you have been more bothered about the knives than the copper who didnt give a shit when we called them?????.

i dont really care about anything anymore, just as long as my kids are safe and the bills are paid, b*****s to everyone else. sorry but i am fed up to the teeth of all the crap, and peoples stupidity now.

to answer your question, i would have got rid of the knives myself so i KNOW it has been done and PROPERLY. as for the coppers, well, i really dont know about that one. The bill around here are quite good and do get weapons and needles if you report them. just sorry you had yet another thing to put on the P'd off list.

I remember reading this article ages ago.A man called the police to tell them his garage has been broken into only to be told that there are no officers available.So the man called the police back and told them he had caught someone breaking into his garage and he had shot them.Within 10 minutes the police turn up mob handed.So where is the shooting victim sir asks the police officer?The man replies there is no victim.Thats funny says the police officer we were told a burglar was shot?Thats funny said the man when i called you i was told you didnt have any officers available.

i know too many coppers who are fed up with the courts/justice system and with things in general. most of them have emmigrated as well! So in a way i dont blame them for not being bothered anymore. i wouldn't be if i was doing their job.

As I said earlier in this post chances are they were busy. If you think it was out of order I suggest you make a complaint.

Exactly.

Or why not drop the knives down there? As I said earlier - that's what we do. There's no problem then.

I think maybe this thread has been done to death.As for making a complaint

russmcp

The problem is the majority of us are bothered, and yes there are problems with the job, and yes some public think we let them down etc, but I still love the job.

There are things we have no control of, which can be frustrating, but that's like most other people and their careers.

russmcp

Why ? You think it will fall on deaf ears?

Sheff_Sparky

didnt say you did i? just said the ones i know. nor did i say that they didnt like their jobs.

Put your handbag down Mr, I was just letting you know what it was like from my perspective, was no way a pop at your post.

jon&kate

Kapri we offered to do that but as i said earlier they were not interested this is London not Dorset and most of the local bobbies are babysitting the superb police community support officers.Im not judging all coppers just saying the one at our local police station was not bothered.Anyway im off to dump all my furniture we are not taking with us in the road outside just to see how long it takes for the council to get it moved .

it's HER MAJESTY to you boyo! and i wasnt having a pop at you either!

Well if the coppers couldn't give two hoots about this country then it's not surprising they can't be bothered - ooops generalising again

Sheff_Sparky

the ones i have spoken to (just them, no-one else) are just peeved with the fact they do what they can, do a good job and the courts bugger it up for them (let off/lenient sentances) and they are the ones who get the blame. poor sods.
