I have done, and MP5's, I was wrongfully arrested for theft of firearms!
Police aren't the only people that are at risk in their jobs, there are people sent out to Iraq and Afghanistan. Facing suicide bombers, RPG's and even be-headings.
I know police get idiots hoax calling and attacking them out of boredom, and I must admit, every time Ive needed a copper theres been one there within minutes. And I applaud them for that, they do a stirling job.
But I remember an advert for police recruiting on TV, asking Could you keep your cool?...... you obviously cant!!
As for taking the test and joining up....I cant...I fight for my country!

Admittedley, I have not done service in a warzone, but have had to pick up the pieces after my son returned.
I keep my cool every day, so as not to offend certain members of the Public who do not have the ability to sort their lives out without ruining some others life.
You've been to a warzone? Respect to you for going and all the others that are still out there doing a job that is unpopular, while not being given adequate support from the so called Government. Sound familiar?

Bar a couple of over zealot specials on parking duty I have had nothing but good experiences with the police and that includes being pulled three times in 70 minutes (I was in a white van at 3 in the morning driving around a housing estate dropping friends off after a stag do,and sober) they are doing a job and should be thanked for it... we only have a part time plod station in the village but every time i've rung for help(twice999,once local control room) they've been there quick time ..I understand that at certain times they are over streched and certain crimes take priority .I would be mortified if they came to me because somebody had nicked my car or damaged my house instead of going to a rape or muggging somethings are just more important .
If it's a brake in the the prints will still be there in 12 hours so what does it matter I know I've had three at work .unless there is somebody still in the buliding I don't blame them for leaving it till the morning . I'm not saying any crime is more or less important than another they are all against the law and should be treated as such but the more serious must take president .
I do however think that the punishments should be looked at ,My brother in law got 400 hrs com service for going over on his tacho ,A guy up the street got a £50 fine and 100 hrs for punching out a 50 year old tourist for fun :roll: cops can catch them great but the courts let the system down... [-X
And as for hoaxs calls standard sentence =month inside teach them a lesson.

Unfortunately yes!! As Celtic Lee says its the MPs and PM that stop us making a difference in this country.
LSP, keep up the good work.
Boggert:
LSP, its about time you ran for election, I would vote for you.
I agree that the armed forces are at risk even more, but do you hear the public constantlu complaining about the work they do, no you don't, but the police... hey lets have a pop at them all, regular officers PCSO's even control staff in the call centers get it in the neck.
Like I say, if you think you can do better, become a special and see for your self!
