Dial 111 AND GET A TAXI ????

[scumdog]

Hmmm just another preverted soul getting thrills from other peoples misfortunes just hope you have a clean batton mate wouldn't want to see you in the head lines.

Is this a really bad troll or what?

Sounds like you really know me? - NOT!! I'd be surprised if you could find somebody that has actually met me that would say "yep, that's scumdog to a 'T'".

I've been in the headlines, oh, - of course you know that already seeing as how you seem to know me so well!! Have a nice day

[jrandom]

Bit of a wild guess that I'm law-abiding, pipeman, - what on my home page is 'nice'?

Well, I was impressed by "That complacent free mature galleries animatedly splashed amongst some facetious mastodon."

You've been running Markov chain algorithms on wildlife photography websites, right?

The thing that pisses me off is that when they find a problem the answer to throw money at it?????? WHY WHY I ASK IT'S NOT THE ANSWER
FOCUSS PEOPLE FOCUSS I SAY
Throw money at it "what"? Lets talk about MANDATE. Whats its about and focuss on how we use our tools (MEN IN BLUE) shouldn't be run like a buisness but "should I say it, well ok" SERVE AND PROTECT. These are mere civil servants and we should have our say on how we won't them to work for us the tax payer. Now I no alot of police won't like this because they think they're above the law and can't get off there high horse to see this. (just wait for the abuse to come) Focuss people go and see you MP and tell them. It might take sometime but the message will get through avengal.

I have never, personally, considered elected officials to be 'civil servants'. I'm not sure whether that's accurate, or whether it's a fallacy borne of too many Yes, Minister episodes.

Would like to agree... but how many actual ministers work in there and how many press liasons.... etc...
I consder them civil servants as thats what my old man told me when he worked there... ministers are elected, not for what they are doin tho. they are elected to push for certain things in their elected areas.... how come they also end up being an education minister, f'rinstance? they are also paid by the tax payer... if thats the criteria..........

Though how you place judgement on my knowledge of the inner workings of the comm center I do find puzzling.

All I'm saying is that in order to have a strong opinion on a subject and for that opinion to carry any weight, then you must possess some intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the particular "thing" that your opinion relates to. Otherwise your opinion is worthless, (not having a dig at you specifically because I don't know what your experience with these matters is. If you have some then go ahead and explain).

Make sense?

[spudchucka]

And Mr Chucker, why don't you read a reply, take the salient points and formulate a reply as if you're debating with someone. These continual quotes of every paragraph make it seem that you're giving evidence.
You're not in court now Officer Chucker.

Because this isn't a conversation or a live debate, its an internet forum and I'll reply any way that I bloody well like. And quite frankly if it pisses you off then I'm going to keep doing it.

The amount of training the police get is, from my understanding, pretty pathetic compare to, say, nurses. I certainly wouldn't mind a bit of the tax surplus being spent on putting the boys in blue through better training at the start of their career, as well as a good course in ongoing refreshers (think of all the cases that wouldn't go south due to proceedural mistakes...)

OK, what is your understanding of police training? What is your opinion based on?

[spudchucka]

all this reminds me of a situation that we had at work not too long ago. i'll call her *mary*.

Most cops have dealt with something like Mary at some stage in their careers. I've had personal experience with a bi-polar woman that gave me a very good understanding of where the saying "all over the place like a mad womens s**t" came from.

The govt approach to mental health is unbelievable.

I agree with rodgerd pre training on being human and so robocop
It would be so nice to be able to talk to a policeman like another human.

rodgerd, your understanding of Police training is pretty much spot on, the sad facts are: the public expect a Rolls Royce performance with a Morris Minor training budget!! (apologies to M-M owners) :disapint:

You'd have to qualify as a human first.

F..ck it pipeman, just go to any bike rally I am attending and you WILL be able to talk to a Policeman like another human being, after all we ARE human beings!!
Meet me on the road and you will find the same!! and I will be a little more sober too!
