Would you report a police officer flouting lockdown?

A PCSO who I know to say hello to (used to cover our area and also lives around here) is clearly flouting the lockdown rules and it’s really irritating me.

I saw her three weeks ago, walking her baby granddaughter in her pram-the daughter granddaughter and partner most definitely 100% don’t live in the same household.

Then, just today I’ve seen her walk past our house, with the daughter walking really closely side by side.

I’m shocked as she should know better shouldn’t she? Should I tell anyone?

“ Who will you phone if you're attacked or your house is broken into? ”

Been there. Definitely NOT calling the police again, no way.

Nicky I don’t share stuff like that though I daresay if you advance search, you will find a vague reference.

bloodyhellsbellsx · 17/05/2020 21:29

I’m a very boring middle aged woman who has never used the term before so it’s....been interesting

Well you’ve learnt a valuable lesson, don’t repeat words or opinions of others that you don’t fully understand the meaning of. Pigs is an offensive phrase and you’ve completely derailed the thread with your ignorance.

@Booksandwine80 glad you find my suicidal sister funny

Nicknacky · 17/05/2020 21:30

LilacTree1 Strangely enough, I thought that would be your reply.

Happy to call me a “pig” by virtue of my occupation but not willing to stand up and say what you do for a living. Typical keyboard coward.

LilacTree1 · 17/05/2020 21:31

bloody please educate me

What is the terrible hidden meaning I missed?

Booksandwine80 · 17/05/2020 21:34

@Greggers2017

I've not seen OP joke about your suicidal sister 🙄 Random.

Nicknacky · 17/05/2020 21:46

She did reply to Greggors post with a smiley face and an angel emoji. I can see why it looked like she was laughing.

Op, are you any further forward in acknowledging that the woman isn’t a police officer and your title is wrong? (Not to mention the content of your post)

whipdido · 17/05/2020 21:51

No get a life instead of trying to get people in trouble. Why are you watching her so much???
Weird!!

Greggers2017 · 17/05/2020 21:52

A smiley face emoji in response to me posting about my sister having severe mental health issues at the moment? Yes that's laughing.

How do you know the PCSO and her family are not going through similar? It's not something people tend to shout about.

Pomegranatepompom · 17/05/2020 21:53

@LilacTree1 you’ve used that term before- I commented.

Pomegranatepompom · 17/05/2020 21:53

about how awful it was.

Ilovecats14 · 17/05/2020 21:54

I just read again and I thought OP did the angel as she was making a joke about herself being hyacinth from that show. Think theres been some confusion here.

Nicknacky · 17/05/2020 21:55

Oh really, what was the context of the post just out of interest?

Pomegranatepompom · 17/05/2020 21:57

Corona/isolation/ mental health
People enabling each other to do what they want. I was jumped on as I said was unfair to nhs staff/ everywhere services

Forgone90 · 17/05/2020 21:58

No ignore it and move on with your life.. I you have no idea about othe rpeoples circumstances... I how do you know the daughter didn't have severe PND and needed some family...

Pomegranatepompom · 17/05/2020 21:59

Sorry to derail thread - it was do upsetting, I couldn’t believe what people were posting, very selfish actions, it’s wore out me off MN. Anyone who disagreed was called a dementor...

Nicknacky · 17/05/2020 21:59

Don’t apologise, it was insensitive of her x

Pomegranatepompom · 17/05/2020 22:02

Sorry for all typos !!

OP back to your thread - I wouldn’t do anything tbh, there could be many issues why they needed contact.

Justanotherscumbag · 17/05/2020 22:04

If you're genuinely concerned, rather than just wanting to feel you've got one over on someone else, then here's a novel idea, ask the lady?

LilacTree1 · 17/05/2020 22:05

Pomegranate I don’t think I saw it

I only know it as a derogatory expression

A pp implying I don’t know the seriousness of what I’m saying has confused me. I have obviously searched and can’t find anything more sinister than “derogatory term”.

I mostly remember it for the scene in the modern remakes of Shakespeare. Macbeth featured a clever scene of a warning about “pigs will fly” - which turned out to be police helicopters.

So unless anyone wants to explain the horror of what I said, beyond it being rude/derogatory etc, I’m still none the wiser.

Booksandwine80 · 17/05/2020 22:06

@whipdido

I’m not watching her, like I said I saw her whilst out on a walk and today she walked right past my house while I was in the window Hmm

OP posts:
Nicknacky · 17/05/2020 22:06

LilacTree1 So why call people it if you know it’s derogatory? After all, I know calling someone a cunt is offensive, I don’t need to look up the history as to why it’s offensive.

So if it’s no big deal, call it to my (internet) face?

CoachBombay · 17/05/2020 22:09

"whilst you were in the window"...how convenient OP....how convenient.

If I were you I'd take the curtains down, save yourself from the RSI from twitching it all the time.
