Dirty Buggane Posted March 30 Posted March 30 (edited) If, if some one has been murdered surely it would be in the publics interest to state so and ask for peoples help. Not shroud it in, where the police will keep this under wrap's because the rank and file can not handle the truth. Till four weeks later , we have no idea what happened put out an appeal for witnesses and any footage people may have. Edited March 30 by Dirty Buggane Quote
Gladys Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Again, 'something really bad happened, but don't speculate' and guess what? People speculate. It is understandable if publicising hampers the investigation or if next of kin have yet to be informed. But other police forces seem able to communicate incidents at an early stage, but not here. Not sure what is so different here. 4 Quote

Unless you're personally involved, were a witness or live around the area and may need to get home etc then just get on with your life. Quote

You still have not explained what makes us so different here? Quote

Whatever has happened quite clearly has nothing to do with you, you just want the gossip. Not sure what you mean by us being different. The only thing I can think of is you need to know what's happening me on the other hand realises it doesn't affect me so I'm going to enjoy my Saturday Quote

The only thing I can think of is you need to know what's happening me on the other hand realises it doesn't affect me so I'm going to enjoy my Saturday People have a right to know, within certain boundaries, what is happening in their community. That is what creates a community and also fosters the policing by consent mantra we hear. Search the publicity guidelines used by the UK police, they refer to the need for openness and transparency, acknowledging the balancing act with other aspects such as investigation. It is also why we have a free press. I don't need to know, ie it has no impact for me, but want to know, that is the point. 12 Quote
