I think kicking someone in the head should be considered a serious offence.

It’s why some people don’t trust or respect the law.

Suppose it's how often you deal with them. Some of the ridiculous calls I take from the police are unreal

Yes we got a report of a person swearing on a train yesterday.

Ok so for 1 it's not happening now and 2 it's swearing? Why don't you go up to the same sidings that gets regularly graffiti artists in ... Get a nice easy collar .. nope let's report something that nobody cares about

Perhaps there were some young children in the carriage. How would you feel about some idiots swearing away loudly and extremely next to your children?
Or is it just too easy to slag off the (transport) police?

If it's that important report it to us at the time it's happening, not a day later when nothing can be done about it.

How on earth can you defend that?

Another one this week , someone smoking on a train, we got them to stop asked btp to meet the person .. refused to go to meet the train because the supervisor (who was on the train dealing with the person) didn't call them directly

Be there possibly living up to their name

The problem is and I know this first hand, some ethnic communities don’t respect the police and women in particular, and put them in a uniform trust them even less. However they are very very quick to use the rascist card.
I have a feeling that once this case unfolds, a kick in the head will be the least talked about issue in this case. Previously the person kicked in the head had attacked police officers, he/ they had lost respect or trust in the police along time ago or never had any in the first place. The guy kicked in the head needs to think himself lucky no armed police were in the vicinity or else we would now be talking about them in past tense.

People that feel they need to start a convo with “ I’m vegan “

Took Mrs socks for lunch today, full menu on the tables and around the counter (little sandwich bar).

Waiter asks Dorris next to us what she would like.

“ well I’m vegan (virtually shouted) … so what do you have “

I’m so glad the waiter delivered my lovely chicken, chorizo and cheese panini as she was ordering… hmmmmmm flesh!

I get all that Tash but dosnt excuse it imo.

Cops have a tough job but part of the disrespect comes from things like this.
The fact he hasn’t been charged yet fuels it.
They don’t trust the police .
