...to think that this is unacceptable behaviour by UK Police on duty!

[CopsBehavingBadly]

I watched this and thought that these police officers, that are clearly on duty as they are in full uniform, should have something more important to do.

Please watch this and let me know what you think.

Are you a journalist? Your wording is a bit..odd...[hmmm]

Trying to get quotes? Cos it has been in the paper loads already....

Apologies if I am wrong, but given your name, and why would someone who is a regular poster namechange for that???

oh chill

they've had their carpeting already by the Super

tuck yer judgey pants back in

There you are

Might be some nice quotes for your article on there.

oh god stop moaning you lot

Think there has been a thread about this..

I think it's hilarious The shields make great sledges. It'll backfire the next time someone rings the police and they dont turn up though..

X-posts. We all have our suspicious hats on today.

looks great fun... I think they should share those shields!

Go read the DM.

Dh and I laughed when we saw the film of this last night

I think they might get there faster in this weather scooting along on their shields.

Oh dont be so ridiculously joyless.
Do you think they turned their radios off so they could play hooky?
They do a job that is bloody grim at times, so they took a few minutes to have a bit of fun in the snow, so what?
Do we even know that they weren't just off shift? Presumably this is next to their station. Not that that even matters imo.

And why have you namechanged?

No, im not a journalist. I just saw this and wanted to share my disgust.

Xposted with everybloodybody.

I laughed at this too - good to see policemen enjoying themselves and being human!!

I dont want to share your disgust thanks.
Why have you namechanged?

Bwahahahahahaha. Then why not use your "real" name?? Can you not own your opinions?

they got reprimanded for it. but the guy who filmed tehm was complimentary about them - imo that's 5 mins investment in positve community relations, not a waste of time.

@ "everybloodybody"

I am not a regular poster, tbh. But I do read alot of Mumsnet and give my two cents every now and again.....

I think they probably did the police's street cred & reputation a huge amount of good. If they had turned radios off or ignored calls/neglected serious police duty, then that's a different matter but otherwise they are bonding with the community.

but why change your name to 'share your disgust'?

methinks you might be being a tad disingenuous

and lol at everybloodybody JV

first I've heard of this story - but just watched the youtube clip and am - I'm not disgusted in the slightest - so long as (as others have said) they didn't have their radios turned off etc) no problem at all.

Ok, I suppose you have a point with the community bonding and the police can have fun... I guess I am just being boring.....

Lilolil said exaclty what I was going to say pretty much exactly in fact.
I think it shows a profession that is often treated badly (and they are very often treated badly by some parts of the public) in a human light and it is a bit of community policing really I wouldn't say their only job is to pund the streets looking menacing at everyone.

disgust

what a judgy, joyless, post twat. Find something real to complain about.
