police are truely pathetic!
 

some one has been kicking at my door for more than 2 hours tonight. i rang the police to be spoken to rudely. the police arent interested at all they turn up an hour later when the man had left when they got here they again showed no intrest didnt even ask for a description of the man. :mad: it is absolutly pathetic!! what a joke i am disabled and live alone with my 7 month pregnant daughter and they dont show any intrest when my house is attacked! i live across the road from a pub but i certainly shouldnt have to put up with this. i thought the police where here to help. i tried to complain to the police officer when he finally arrived he was so rude he just turned round and said do you want me to go? then left!! :mad:

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Perhaps he thought you weren't very helpful yourself?

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

well maybe i werent!
:alright:

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

omg look at time im not usually up sorry

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Why do you have to tersist in being so rude to people. How would you like to have someone kick your front door for 2 hours and then to be treated as if it was you, who was being a nusisance by the Police.

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

This is absolutely what you come to expect from the Police. they are no longer public servants but cash generators for the ruling class.
If you`re being kicked to death in the street or terrorised in your neighbourhood they dont wanna know but if you`ve a brake light out on your car or go 2 MPH over the limit they`ll jump all over you like the fascist puppets which is what they`ve become.
Very few pigs belive in their job they just want a good wage and pension..
I dont cry when a policeman dies.

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

I agree, the are nothing short of useless most of the time. My mum and dad something fired through their bathroom window one night (it turned out to be a pellet or something along those lines) when my mum rung the police they said for her to wait up and someone would be there, but as per usual no-one showed up and she wasnt even told they werent coming. I think it was 2 or 3 days later when they finally arrived.

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Well I don't know about the ones around here. But you probably wouldn't want to live in Rawtenstall. Yesterday there was 9 of them came into the staff canteen at work (Tesco) and had breakfast. Now i'm not opposed to people having a break but 9 of them at the same time!! Do they not have their own canteen??

Anyway, i'm sorry for what you went through Bernie. Theres not really much point taking it any further either, because they'll just stick up for their own. Its a shame that we have to live like this, and may not get the help when we need it.

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

did they pay for their brekky or did they get it for the discount?

its illegal for them to get it for free/discount

i take great pride in telling the police to pay when they start flashing their badges trying to get into clubs for free. so many of them are unhelpful just happy they're gettin paid to do not much.

how many of us know drug dealers and other criminals operating openly and yet the police want "evidence" or dont want to go for the small fish etc

its all just crap. there's a reason why more and more ppl feel the need to take the law into their own hands. and then when they get killed surprise surprise there had been a police report filed in and they'd not done much about it.

being an ethnic minority i get my own back than most. esp if the cop is rude. then hell hath no fury scorned like someone who's just had racial abuse ;)

the days when it was very hard to get into the police was a time when the job was respected and done. now i've seen guys on the nightclub time beat who are 4'5 and wouldnt want to intervene.

funny story going around the doors was that there was a 80 yr old man who was drunk and the police were called to remove him as he began taking off his shirt and just didnt know where he was - he wasnt aggressive or anything - so the manager comes out and three police officers were waiting - come in he's this way - oh no we're waiting for back up till 2 more arrived. considering they already had mace and batons the manager was just amazed.

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Id put a complain in, if ya not happy bernie, if it was my house, id had gone mad!!!

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

They get it the same as us, which is subsidised. They'll have got a Full English for 71p!

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

i'm pretty sure they're not meant to get favours from the public or others

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Pathetic sculptures and red tarmac

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

I hate to say it, but we voted for this. Three times now in a row. Madness.
I am not trying to say any other party is better but could it be any worse?

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

It's disgusting :(

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Ive just had the police here. They were very nice. A policeman and a PCSO woman. She rang me friday and said she would ring me on Monday and come up and see me - i thought there would only be her but she brought the policeman along. They had to go not long after - they had a call through.

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Goto the police station and kick thier door for two hours, see how they like it.

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Yup quite true 8 years of Tory Council increasing tax increasing funding from govt and what have we got to show for it ?
Like you say tho tuther crowd`ll be just the same shower of.........

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

The funny thing is, had you done what I would have done, (kicked him down the street), they would have been there in 2 minutes and you would have been locked up pronto!

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

I just can't believe you let someone kick your door for that amount of time before you rang the police. You said they arrived an hour after you rang them, yet this person was kicking you door for two hours? That means you must've waited at least an hour before you even bothered to do anything. If I was a police officer I would've wondered what made you wait so long before taking any action?

Also, I don't understand why someone you don't know would stand outside your door for two hours kicking it. I understand there are stupid people around but I just think you must have over exaggerated the times, because it just sounds unrealistic :confused:


I agree though, put in a complaint but I doubt much will get one about it. Is there damage to your property from all this kicking? Neighbours who heard it? Because you will need evidence that a crime was actually committed before they'll believe you.

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Zero I am a bit confused.... The Government have decided to give us PCSO's, Increase the paperwork that out police do, underfund them, put more restrictions on them close police stations. We have a county council who are inept, unless you want yet another quality bus route, they love closing old peoples homes, etc and they are both Labour, not Conservative.

So our town council has, as far as I can see, ****** all to do with the farce we call a police force.

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Police are county council aren't they ?

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Yes and the Police authoroty are chaired by a labour councillor who was given the big heave ho from Blackburn with Darwen Council.

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

makes you think there a waste of space, after all we pay them.

things can only get beter for you bernie

Independent Police Complaints Commission Home Page

I hope things have settled down for you too.

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

it was a drunken idiot that didnt know what day it was. i didnt just sit and do nothing i tried to persuade to go away through the window i was terrified of the drunken lout i thought he would eventually give up n go away. ok?

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Why did you not explain that the person verbally treatened you and was trying to break into your house.

I can't help feeling you did not make the situation clear to the Police.
Out of interest did you dial 999? I would have as someone trying to smash your door down to get in the house is an emergency in my book.

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

before being flamed to death I`m not a copper or govt official or anything like that :-)

But I do believe that the Police are no longer free to be able to do the job that most of them want to do.For example from an earlier post :"being an ethnic minority i get my own back than most. esp if the cop is rude" . Why ? Surely everyone is equal. If a policeman has to deal with an ethnic minority differently then isnt that discrimination ?

Another example. how would you if you were a PC like to enter into a house where someone is waving a gun at you, knowing that whatever happens there will be an "enquiry" and you`ll be suspended ? If it was me I think he`s given up his rights as soon as he waves a gun and therefore I`m OK to take it away from him as best as possible, but as a PC I cant ?

I dont think most coppers want to spend time filling in forms, walking on eggshells around a suspect in case he "gets upset and demands compensation". They`d much rather be out there catching the real criminals, but I dont think that a small group let them.

And the small group arent the govt, they are the PC brigade. The "oh you might offend someone" brigade, where we all have to pander to <1% of the population and play down to the lowest common denominator. It still amazes me that you have to put signs up saying "this gate has plastic spikes on top" etc so burglars know and dont hurt themselves ??

The "lets sue someone for a quick quid "brigade are also as bad. Guess what accidents happen...get over it. If its really negligence then I have absolutely no issue with it, but my experience is that the insurance companies actually want you to sue the others to make money back they have lost to frivolous suits etc.

My summary : I would not today join up to be a PC, fireman (who in their right mind throws bricks at fireman whilst they are putting out a fire), Doctor (Hey doc I know you are trying to save my life but I`ll attack you then sue you) ,Ambulance driver etc etc. If we protected these people more legally then more people would want to do the jobs and there wouldnt be as much strain and a "we`ll take anyone we can on" possibility

Oh and my last three experiences with PCs. one stopped me on the way home one night from work (work lates), and spent about 2 minutes checking car and let me go. Next one stopped me because my tax disc had fell off the window, and within a minute on my way. And the third one two youths tried to steal the missus motorbike from the back yard. Neighbours saw them and we heard the commotion. By the time I had got downstairs there was allready a PC in my back yard with a HUGE alsation. He calmly said "go back inside please sir in case the dog mistakes you"..And they caught the little whatnots. The courts ? £200 fine. Thanks mr PC man for catching them but we`ll miss the opportunity to straighten them out now before they go off the rails.

Anyway rant over, let the flames begin

You scare me Zero .....:eek:

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

I am (after his rant) in agreeance with Banjoman on the majority of the things that he said although there have been instances where the police have been less than helpful in my own experience but a good point was put forward there

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

That's pathetic.

I suspect the children of W.P.C. Sharon Beshenivsky cried, when their mum was killed whilst carrying out her duties in West Yorkshire.

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Agreed, Garinda.

What a stupid thing to say. :(

Re: police are truely pathetic!
 

Have we had the full story here? Surely there would have been dozens of calls to the Police if somebody had been kicking in a front door for two hours.
