hampsterkahn Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Society gets the criminals it deserves. A police force also reflects society, but we should not just get the police we deserve, we should be able to have the force we insist on. If you have been around for a while, you will have learnt that individuals who are “the Police”are very different.There is not a “generic” policeman/woman any more than other profession. They range from the extraordinarily decent and humane, who from my experience, are by far the majority, through the reasonably fair , to the ponderous and prejudiced, on to an very small, but evil minority. - A mirror of us all, really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they are, they need to be considerably better than the average member of the public. And often aren't, because it's a profession that attracts people who fancy themselves as bullies (and people who want to do good, but you only need a handful of the former for it to create a large problem). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. That is why as a society we must always have careful scrutiny over those in positions of authority and power-The old , “ Quis cusdodiet ipsos custodes?” - who guards the guards?

The Voice of Reason Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) On 6/2/2022 at 9:41 AM, Shake me up Judy said: For two weeks of the year some of them get to be rock and roll coppers. Plenty of overtime, fast cars and nice toys, high adrenaline and quick response. 'We're the Sweeney son and we haven't 'ad our dinner' The police used to 'calm' the visiting fans, like a sensible parent. Now they just wind them up. I beg to differ. I doubt the Cinderella tableau enacted, photographed and placed on social media by the the police when a visiting biker lost his boot would have happened in the case of a local biker losing their footwear.

There are fresh accident markings at the Douglas end of the Mountain Mile and damage to the bank on the LH side, Douglas-bound. Yesterday morning there was a red hatchback off onto the bank at Keppel Gate and this morning a small, bronze coloured hatchback on the field at the inside of Windy Corner. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
