Maybe it's got something to do with the fact that he stares at their cleavage, and drifts off into a dream world of police outifts, handcuffs and fingerprint ink/paint. The officer probabaly takes his not answering as refusing to answer/be cooperative?

How many of us REALLY believe that anarchy is a realistic solution to an under-resourced Police force?

Rant over.

Good on you mate

I think there are a lot of PIGs out there,absolute bastards that need to be castrated and have their eyes burnt........

But among those tens of thousands of vile wretched pigs there are many million cops....... guys and girls who are in real life as much of a hero or heroine as any comic book character is in the comic world.

These people put their life on the line so that we ungrateful lard buckets can sleep well at night.

As you sit in your beautiful bedroom reading this think of the cop standing out in the cold in the rain, for hours walking around dark alleys and other places you forever avoid.

They don't; it's just that Honda and Winja are highly talented when it comes to starting successful(where people keep and keep posting) threads.

Considering you guys do that for a living...... meaning you will be "explaining" 1000's of times more than Joe Smith does in his lifetime........

Right, now the gloves are off, I'll tell you about the 80 year old I gave a ticket to for doing 58km in her Daihatsu Charade and the Boy Scout I did for having a knife in a public place and the blind guy I did for littering when he dropped a snowtex and the spastic I did for blocking the footpath.....

I thought this whole thread was started on the premise that it was the supposed negative public image of the police force that caused an officer to be ignored while under attack? (longest grammatically correct sentence evar!?!) maybe it's the, err, Grouse.

Well, well at face value you seem like a nasty cop..... but then:

Hey maybe the old hag was doing it near a school just after it finished and there were kids everywhere.

Was the Boy Scout using his knife in a dangerous manner endangering the public?

Did the blind guy purposely drop the snowtex? Just because they are blind doesn't mean they don't have some sense of where things are.....

And did the guy get spastic by chaining himself to a tree next to building that was being torn down to construct something else....... or by exhibiting some other tree hugging demeanour.

You know sometimes when people slag off cops I am reminded of those people who demand better rights for prisoners. WTF!!! Prison is supposed to be a bad place. If you don't want to go to prison don't commit any crime. If you don't want a speeding ticket don't *what is it* read, feed, breed, ????? Oh yeah: speed.

Anyway Scumdog go on I always love a good story.

Yes, a bit of an unfortunate incident, however if you read Lou Gerardins posts you will think it is a kick-back to the "rigourous" (sp) issuing of traffic tickets, if that is the case then the public are more empty headed and vacuous (sp) than I give them credit for.

Sorry aboot the spellin' it's the Famous Grouse ya ken.

No, I believe this whole thread was started by people who console their lack of self-worth by rejecting authority and using situations like that faced by the female officer and by simply trying to take advantage of some people’s prejudices towards stereotypes created by Hollywood and the tabloid media in order to incite similar feelings from similarly minded people and elicit arguments from those that still retain their sanity. However, if truth were told, all that is achieved is a banal display of their ignorance and naivety.
