UK people, what do you think of our POLICE, comments n stories?

Remember the CS Gas spray?? That was issued so that the police had a "LAST LINE OF DEFENSE" When they felt that they were in "Immediate physical danger" \nThey use the stuff for crowd control in our town on a friday night -I have seen it with my own eyes.\nI have had police sneering at me and making comments deliberately to goad me into violence on busy weekends. \nThe magistrates are so far up their own arses that they cannot see what they have on the streets feeding them their stock in trade! \nThe police FORGET that they are public servants and that they are paid BY US! As I grow older I become less and less trusting of them as a force and less likely to help them should I ever be called upon to do so. \nThey do a difficult job no doubt, but they forget that they are there to SERVE and respect members of the public, but from what I have seen, the public need protection from them and their arrogant abuse of power.

1 - How do you know they are illegal immigrants? You'd need evidence before the police took you seriously. Perhaps they are foreign students? I wouldn't try a citizens arrest in this case.\n2 - Americans, there is no INS in England, and most Brits don't carry guns, "shoot there brains out" is not a helpful answer, nor grammatically correct.\n3 - You can find details about illegal workers here: http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/ind/en/home/0/preventing_illegal.html\n4 - Or call your local police station (Kent police 01622 690690)

The worrying thing is that this has actually happened - some numbskulls on a council estate attacked the home of a female paediatrician.\n\nMakes you despair of this country, doesn't it?\n\nYou know what - I actually feel EMBARRASSED for the twats that took this seriously. Wake up to yourselves, FOOLS!

You need to discuss the issue that police forces seem to be trying to improve their public image - what people think of them, that they are trying to improve how they interact and get along with the public, and that some people or factors may be making this difficult.  There is an effort to make police forces more "people friendly".\n\nI hope this helps a little.

I don't agree with the verdict although I haven't followed it closly, I feel that one of the 3 did or know who did and feel that there is definaty some kind of internation corruption and code protecting the police officers. \n\nDefinatly has me worried about my own safety right now living in Milwaukee..

I'm not saying that police should be able to dish out summary justice. But I do believe that in this current climate of political correctness, blame culture as well as the general break down in respect for any one, police officers are more worried about getting complaints for just doing their job. I have always said that if you don't play football you won't get sent off. I myself am an officer who does his job in the right way with integrity, who is not over zealous, but I will not be sworn at or be abused by people who think by shouting and swearing or making a complaint against me I will step back and allow them to continue to commit offences. I believe in practical policing. Yes there are some police officers who are work shy or over zealous, but 99% of the police forces across the country are getting it right.\n\nThe people who are negative towards the police are usually people who are criminals, got a ticket for speeding today, or people who simply have not got a clue what police officers really do. Yes we give out tickets but also we scrape people off the road, deliver death messages, or have to break into a house because the old lady next door hasn't been seen for a week, then having to deal with her as she has passed away. We don't want sympathy or plaudits, just a little more understanding. If you have question just ask.

Don't you read the news? This week 3 Asian men were jailed for life for the racially motivated murder of a white youth in Scotland. \n\nA Muslim man was jailed for incitement to racial violence after calling for the deaths of those who published a cartoon mocking Islam.\n\nBoth in the UK.\n\nAnd two members of the racist BNP were acquitted of incitement to racial hatred.\n\nYou really don't know what's going on around you, do you? No one is saying that non-whites can't / don't behave in a racist manner. They can and do. But the law treats them the same as whites in this respect.\n\nIndeed, judging by the BNP acquittals, non-whites are treated more harshly?\n\nAs for "by the way my father is a policeman" - are you still in primary school? Judging by your use of English, you can't be much older.\n\nFacts from the left, nonsense from the right - same as it ever was. You don't have an IQ of 196 because the adult scale doesn't go that high, unless they've had to extend it for your mighty intellect.\n\nSo let me get it right - the PC brigade won't let us accuse Muslims of racism, AND the PC brigade forced the prosecution of the Muslim for inciting racial hatred. Well, it can't be both can it?  Only in the doublethink of the racist.

being british i have to say  im not at all racist..i dont think that anyone shud be judged on their nationality.. i take people for who they are ..not where they come from ...their place of origin does not ..and shud not affect the rights they have when they are resident in this country .. i think  that we are very easy going here and although there is some racism here.. it is a minority..we are a very multi cultured country ..and overall get on quite well ...with a good sense of humour ...that singles out no particular race .. just  all done in fun ...we especially laff at ourselfs alot...after all laughter is a good remedy for bad times ...

Excellent.  I don't normally answer questions from the US, as it's not my culture and I wish US residents would refrain from advising Brits on legal matters as if our laws were identical.  We're different.\n\nBut this is clever and ironic, love it.

For more about England, and its Parliament, go to www.nraila.com.  Type England's laws in the search window.\nYou'd be amazed at how the average citizen faces arrest and confinement just for trying to protect their homes, families, and selves against criminals. \n\nPolice state?  That's a laugh. the police can't or won't do anything to curb crime, while the justice system treats the criminals better than the victims.

Anyone who is allowed in this country for whatever reasons has to abide by the rules if they commit any crime regardless if they have been jailed should be sent back to where they came from.  If there life was in that much danger in their own country they should just be so grateful they are safe in Britain.  But are we safe in Britain?  Does anyone care?  I'm afraid the politicians are too busy lining their own pockets and bonking their staff to care about the real issues.

You know, it's probably best for me not to vocalize on this subject but I'm going to take the plunge and do so.\n\nI have had the same problem so far in my life.  I find that the Police are very arrogant and misuse their authority.  I know policemen that break the law regularly: smoking pot, taking steroids, and blowing off illegal fireworks on the 4th.  Yet, turn around and give me a ticket for going 5 miles over the limit.\n\nTruly, someone needs to do some undercover type work and expose many of the corruptions in the police force.  They are in a position to abuse authority...and they do so, and don't get caught.  They don't seem to view the public the same as other people do.  They have exalted themselves, in some way, above the public.\n\nIn the average cop, you'll find a good portion of Arrogance.

Dude don't get me started again - I;ve only just recovered from my rant the other day !\n\nI quote "Great Britain is no longer a GREAT country, We cannot say anything without being called RACIST!!!!!!!!"\n\nThat's why - every time we do stand up for our selves (the select few with the balls - hats off Mr. N Griffin) we get branded racist biggots.\n\nWe try and try and try but it on;y ever gets covered in the media as a race hate crime !\n\nRead the Turner Diarys !\n\nIt is all going to kick off here sometime in the not too distant future you mark my words.\n\nPreston - Oldham - Bradford - Leeds - Burnley -- this was only the start of things to come back in 2001.\n\nIt will kick off - people will turn around and say " FCUK IT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"\n\nThe BNP are winning more and more seats every year because they are the only party that will stand for traditional BRITISH values !
