Obviously don’t know the full facts, but the photos
Show the police being pretty heavy handed.

They look Muslim, so presume don’t drink alcohol, they have regularly buy the water from other branches of Tesco.
This behaviour by the police looks like the sort of treatment meted out by racist officers towards African Americans in the US.

I am disgusted by the thuggish behaviour of the police and I hope Mr. Hussain succeeds in his complaint to the PCC.

Please introduce me to the copper in a patrol car on £50 an hour. Wink

Robber and terrorist??? You smell of desperation

The cases are both a matter of public record; I merely asked whether you happened to be one of them, though of course it's your choice whether or not to answer

Interesting, too, that you claim to know what will happen in this case, which seems odd since none of us know exactly what went on ... but then, perhaps it reflects the same lack of credibility of everything else you've written

The cops earned £150 each for those 3 hours doing nothing

Talking out if your arse again....

As already posted, cops earn less than £20 an hour. And what they do with their time is up to their direct superior.. not you.. not them..

Now I know it's hard to pull your head out of your backside, but get a bit of vaseline around your neck and give it a good pull.. you'll soon see the shit your talking.

I sued the police and it cost the tax payer 60 thousand

Sure you did. Any chance of some proof? I mean, it would have been all over the press right?

In Salford there was a arson attack and a gang rape recently that the police will not be investigating because of lack of resources

Link?

The cost of operation water bore with their 5 response vehicles and 10 cops would be enough to hire 2 CID officers for a day to investigate that gang rape that happened in Salford last month

You do know that CID officers are paid the same amount as response right? There's not separate pay scales. Why do you believe that they're paid 5x as much as response officers?

According to your economic illiteracy, response Officers are paid £50 an hour. CID will be thrilled to learn that they are on
£250 an hour! Hmm

That would be money well spent?

Perhaps you can refund some money out of your £60k which didn't happen.

That's 60 thousand that could stop arsonists and gang rapists

You're right. Bit selfish of you really.
apart from it not happening

KlutzyDraconequus · 30/09/2018 11:15

Unfortunately because the cop was a bit delicate he had no option but to sue the force for bullying and got £400000 from the tax payer

So... Someone having to leave their career isn't entitled to sue for constructive dismissal?
Do you think the officer just asked for that payout and got it? Or do you think an independent judge awarded him that on balance of evidence?

Bit of course you won't answer.. cause you're picking and choosing what you want to hear... The sign of an imbecile.

RudeZebra · 30/09/2018 11:17

Still waiting for the proof of the gang rape and arson not being investigated. Should be a good read.

tillytop · 30/09/2018 11:20

In my view, the police no longer serve the public. They serve themselves and the corporations. Everyone I speak to is dissatisfied, disillusioned and distrustful with the police force of today.

Entitled idiots who think they can write their own rules and then do what ever they please. Its their own fault it escalated!
Of course they were profiteering. Tesco had every right to ask them to only buy 10 bottles. If they hadn't made such a fuss none of that would have happened. And then they pull the race card!
Disgusting

Puzzledandpissedoff · 30/09/2018 11:26

In my line of work we call it "milking it"

Sounds about right ...

RudeZebra · 30/09/2018 11:28

And yet still record amount of calls are received each year. You need to start shouting your message a bit louder. Help reduce the workload.

It's a shame this distrust of the lazy police seems to be very limited to whining on the internet. As said earlier it's those people who seem to call the police the most (point in case the male in the video and 2muchtrouble)

There's 2 really really easy ways of avoiding all contact with the police.

  1. Don't commit crime.
  2. Don't call them.
It's not difficult is It?

Someone who is having a bad day and attacked a 74 year old because of it deserves prison not a £400000 golden handshake

Any chance of that link regarding not investigating gang rape and arson?

Rudezebra you spout such idiotic nonsense you make me laugh!Grin Thanks for brightening this bleak Sunday morning.

KlutzyDraconequus · 30/09/2018 11:33

Someone who is having a bad day and attacked a 74 year old

Oh look more arse talking..
I'm.gueasing you're talking about PC Balion?

The officer who had a YouTube video posted about him that people took out of context.
The traffic cop that attempted to pull over a black range rover that refuses to stop leading to a chase through the Welsh country side. By the time the car stopped the officers hd to take measures to stop the car driving away.
Balion smashed the drivers window whilst his colleague mounted the bonnet.
At the time they had no idea the driver was 74 and even if he was 74 they had no idea he was gentle, adversary or if he had a weapon. 74 year olds are perfectly capable of being aggressive and wielding weapons.

After the video went viral, Balion was teases by his colleagues.
There was an investigation and Balion was cleared of misconduct but was given a desk job.
His colleagues vandalised his locker, continually mocked him and eventually he walked out and sued the force.
His payout wasn't £400000, his payout was the pension he would have got if he'd remained on the force.

RudeZebra · 30/09/2018 11:35

The thing is it's true,the cop works for murderers and destroys evidence on their behalf and delivered drugs and there is nothing us normal people can do about it

Any chance of that link regarding not investigating gang rape and arson?

Birdsgottafly · 30/09/2018 11:38

""Still waiting for the proof of the gang rape and arson not being investigated""

You would have to start linking lots of articles. But to be fair, it takes a while for it to come out. Stephen Lawrence is still waiting for justice.

I'll just put Poppy Worthington into the mix. How many have been sacked, how many pensions given up, or wages. Likewise by those Police who were involved in the Hillsborough cover-up.

Around 2009 it was suggested that the educational standards should be raised and changed for entering the Police, but it didn't happen.

Ursulasunderstudy · 30/09/2018 11:44

I live in salford and haven’t heard anything about a gang rape.....

RudeZebra · 30/09/2018 11:44

Yay. The nation's bravest store detective is back! You seemed to have missed a question earlier. I'll remind you.

Police are useless, untrained lumps nowadays.

So why did you call them every day then? Surely with your knowledge of law, procedure and restraint you could have dealt with it yourself?

Why did you call the police every day when they are so useless?
