More police corruption then.

Quoted from Rick12

Kingston Iam sad and surprised  you think like that. Your going around in circles. You need to realise that situations in life sometimes push us in directions we don't want to go. Without going into specifics as noted  I have suffered from acute problems which changed my trajectory. I've already told you this. I don't want to air my life history on a open forum.  Even talking to people face to face I can't reveal everything as things hurt to much. Likewise I've realised you can't trust noone in life fully as none is pure.

As for the research  the information came from a book from  the crime section in  the university library in case your wondering. Iam not Einstein and can't remember every specific bit of research I cited as part of my degree of which there were many ( 18 modules and well over 100 references which includes books and journals).

I’m not going round in circles! Show me where I am going round in circles.

If I was going to refer to some hypothesis that I believed in, and had strong opinions on, and use the fact I read it in a book once as back-up to my claims, I’d be at least able to remember the name. You’ve got a degree. You’re an intelligent person. It’s 37 years since I graduated and if I want to make a point about something that I strongly feel is true, I’d be able to remember where I read it. Crikey, these days there’s this thing which helps you find out information using a world wide network of computers. Comes in handy when there’s stuff I’m trying to recollect.

I've already tried to locate the book using the library's online catalogue but it's not there. Bear in mind that universitys regularly update their stock.

Quoted from DB

I have been a supporter of the police in the past but my support has been eroded for many reasons. So to that end I would amend your above idiom to 'there are a few good apples but the rest are rotten'.

These two BBC ( not sure how much is truth/fiction) sum my disillusionment with the police.

Thats sad to see DB but wish the media could pick out some of the good stories as well. I was told recently that to get into the police you now need a degree which can be seen as both a good and bad thing. Some people are not naturally academic and have  other innate skills eg the ability to deal with people  .Likewise doing a degree is quite challenging especially more so if your working at the same time .

What I would say is earlier you made a valid point .Some only go into it for the money and pension whilst others do it because they want to make a genuine difference. Its hard though to get the right people in as some of the stuff they have to deal with is horrible. From what I have been told this includes dealing with hangings and trying to resuscitate people who have just  taken their lives, people threating to throw poo at them to name but a few. Added to that  the shift and nights they do . Tough job indeed and I wouldnt like to do it.

I agree with many things you say. But the police had total respect from the community, FULL STOP. Over the decades, many, career police moved into the police force to what we have now. Fully armed coppers charging around like the cavalry to deal with a knife suspect.

Perverts abusing their power

No stress or threat to them so no excuse.
