Being a Police Officer in the Uk
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Very frightening when you consider that this is not far from the truth. Being a Police officer in the UK
Question:
How do you tell the difference between a British Police Officer ,
And an Australian Police Officer and an American Police Officer?
Answer:
Pose the following question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small
children.
Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the
corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife,
and charges.
You are carrying a Glock .40, and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?
UK POLICE OFFICERS Answer :
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of
his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does
this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to
wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away
while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 1-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint
and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would
discourage such behaviour.
If I raise my gun and he turns and runs away, Do I get blamed when he
falls over running away, knocks his head and kills himself? .
If I shoot him, and lose the court case, does he have the opportunity
to sue me, cost me my job, my credibility and I will lose my family
home?

Daughter: "Nice grouping, Dad! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips?"
Now before anyone starts on about likely to cause offence, lack of respect etc etc, it was sent by a Brit Police Officer to another Brit Police Officer, and is, I would suggest, a tongue in cheek bit of humour at differing attitudes.
It also made me laugh :twisted:

We were once the strongest empire in the World.......The brit answer should be........I am sorry, the question that you ask is so 'out there' that we do not know how to answer it.......But due to the British disease of greed and selfishness and looking after ones mates, we need to answer it, the answer due to the PC rubbish and the racist probability is a difficult one, which by that time you are brown bread...... :roll:

Sorry guys.......I guess I am saying that we were once wealthy enough as a nation to ensure that the whole of society had a fair chance, we could have been so much better than what we are now, we were given the chances and the finances, but the money was used by the selfish rich to ensure that the peasants remained peasants......Simple really...And when we began to run out of our own peasants we imported others from the four corners of the globe.......
