Once you've worked as a cop you might realise that they get assaulted almost every day. Untill you have your opinions have little to no basis.

You are not an expert in the good attitude department and as far as I'm concerned are in absolutely no position to preach.

As someone who has been there maybe my opinion does have some basis.

I have worked with some absolute wankers in the Police as well as some very good guys. Alot of cops do have an attitude which reflects badly on all the rest. Some of the problem is that guys join at 19 without any life experiance, work and socialise within the Police and end up with a warped sense of reality and inflated idea of their own importance.

I allways found that with a good friendly attitude and showing some empathy with people I dealt with that it was amazing what people would do to help. Trouble was that most people do have preconceived ideas and probably bad past experiances that were hard to overcome.

The problem is only going to get worse now that the Govt has lowered the entry requirements and there are even courses to train people to pass the pre entry test!

Some of the comments posted on this thread do not help change the image either, only reinforces the perception!

There is a culture of " I am God, do what I say or else" within the Police, which will never go away. This is the main reason I left!

We all remember bad experiances and quickly forget the good ones!

To you wankers in the Police To the rest

OK start the shit slanging I dont care, It's all good.

CHEERS FOR MENTIONING ME AGAIN PIG, YOU MUST BE ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT JOINED THE FORCE CAUSE YOU THINK A MAN IN UNIFORM LOOKS QUITE SMART AND THE THOUGHT OF HANG OUT WITH THEM IN THE CHANGING ROOM SEALED THE DEAL

your a funny guy WINJA.

[**R1**]

You know nothing about me so don't assume, you just look like a bigger dickweed than usual.

I've got a little manual you might find useful, its called "Suicide - How to get it right the first time". WTF are you bleating on about suicide for anyway?

Maybe so to you but your attitude as far as I'm concerned is that of a immature teenager.

Move to ChCh, go pulling wheelies and runnin from da pigs, you might feel at home and make some new friends.

Ya don't say!!! Fuck me I never would have noticed, thanks for pointing that out. You came here and immediately made an arse of yourself, then you seemed to pull your head in for a while and was actually making some reasoned comments, now you revert to being an arse again. I guess a leopard can't change its spots after all.

Cool! You think I give a stuff what you or WINJA or Aaron think?? By the way you're right up there in the oxygen thief stakes as far as I'm concerned too so lets just keep giving each other bad rep points until me both make the most disreputable list.

I do wish you would get over me Spudy...NO means NO

I think spuddy needs to get over it all, I am...

[Sniper]

can the name-calling/shit slinging stop now?

Its the problem of people not knowing when to grow up and start respecting each other.

Honda for example, seems to be affected by his patients
Winja is exactly as his name suggests, a whinger with no real reason to type in CAPS
Aaron, I have no idea what to think of you, you make some good points and some bad ones, I have no gripe with you.

Spud and the rest of the gang are offering some good points on the reletivity of the subect but for some reason, 2 particulars are not respecting opinions and are adopting the high and mighty, I am right, you dont know what you are saying attitude, which I suppose they may have some point or reason why? But are trying to force a veiwpoint that doesnt really make sense, I mean, where is their argument?

I dont know, Im not pointing fingers Im just wondering how long this will go on? All its really going to turn into is a shit load of name calling, shit slinging (Thanks blakamin ) so where are we getting at?

Yea right

Don't know where it came from, someone does...

Lets just keep dishing out bad rep to each other and see who makes the most disreputable first.

Now whos lowering their standard now?

Comment/Your a pathetic childish excuse for a human

I seem to remember a few pages back you saying something about "this being the last you will hear from me on this topic" or some such??

The very next post was from you.. he he

oh well.. I'm off now.

He's on a crusade it would seem to dish out as much bad rep as possible for little or now reason. I think he's a very confused little boy.

It was me dumbarse. In response to the nonsense bad rep point you dished out to me. Like I said before, if you want to dish it out willy-nilly be prepared to receive it in return. Karma slap!

[inlinefour]

But from what I have read from you, you'd appear to be an angry person with a badge who will not take criticism, thinks that you can do whatever you want and complain about insults while dishing them out with the other hand. The Police I feel have a responsibility to improve their standards, but with people like you I have to wonder if that is actually possible

[spudchucka]

I have worked with some absolute wankers in the Police as well as some very good guys. Alot of cops do have an attitude which reflects badly on all the rest.

There are always bad eggs, however the organisation is a lot better at weeding them out these days.

Some of the problem is that guys join at 19 without any life experiance, work and socialise within the Police and end up with a warped sense of reality and inflated idea of their own importance.

Not so much these days, the average age for recruitment is late 20's - early 30's. There has been one wing of cadets made up of people in that age bracket in the last few years but they aren't about to recruit heaps of people age 19 and under. On my wing the oldest guy was 46 and the youngest was 24, the average age was about 32.

And Honda, with people like you its funny that they cant change their attitudes because I gaurentee (sp?) that you will exploit the change for your own benefit if they do.

Police have to take a hard line to keep the socially deranged people in line. Funny how peoples attitude change when they cant have their own way

[Biff]

This is not the thread to post in if your looking for rep points it it?

I've just received negative rep points, depite the fact that the person who took them away said I made a good point? Sarcasm maybe. :eyepoke:
