The couple reported Dylan's death to the police but were told it was a civil, rather than criminal, matter.*sighs* No. It isn’t. The DDA applies, as it always has done. If you actually bother to read it, rather than just use it as an excuse to not do your job.
We’ve been here before, of course, with the issue of public photography. Some forces just don’t seem to get the memo, do they?
And since the drunken scum with the out of control Staffies look like the sort that’d be in line for regular visits from the police, one can only hope another Stratford scenario plays out here.
The Advertiser has approached the Metropolitan Police for a comment.Someone’s muzzled their press team, then!
Most commercial enterprises would shudder and convulse at the suicidal prospect of providing 'educatid' morons with overpaid employment...but not the pioneering Met.
ReplyDeleteAnother incomprehensible comment from the mentally ill Melv. You should expect this as the modern police service no longer has the training it would have had say, ten years ago. Plus quota driven recruitment and all the other shite dumped on it by target driven policing (Labour) and by the Tories (Coalition) hatred it isn't just DDA policing that suffers. Intelligence or the number of degrees one holds has no bearing on the response we, the public, get. Where there is now maybe 2 constables on duty in an area, 20 years ago there would have been a fully staffed and managed sub-diviosn on 24/7 made up of an inspector, sergeants and constables INCLUDING some walking about. Anyway, where are the Met supposed to put an obviously mad black man off his tits on strong lager and god knows what else eh? Cameron has said cells can't be used and I know for a fact that the NHS hasn't got the facilities. Even if they did just shoot the cunt and his god awful dogs another load of arsehoiles would stage a Twitter outrage and the police would again be the baddies.
ReplyDeleteThe word "educatid" again Melvin?. If you tell a lie often enough.....

The handicaps of mental illness are manifest in my distorted impression of your public service and my inability to match your elegant fluency, Anon.
ReplyDeleteYour expertise in policing is self-evident and whilst I have been thoroughly abased by an incisive paragraph sculpted in your own language, I remain steadfast in my admiration for epigrams of great distinction.
If the dog owner was told that the incident was a civil matter then that is wrong and she has been given poor service. However my guess-only a guess Melvin-was that she probably spoke to either a civilian call handler without any knowledge of the law or a PCSO (the same thing).
ReplyDeleteUnlike Melvin and Julia I wasn't there either at the incident or when the dog owner reported it.

"You should expect this as the modern police service no longer has the training it would have had say, ten years ago."
ReplyDeleteThe training - with modern technology - should actually be better and far more flexible.
If you mean it no longer recruits the same pool - ex-servicemen - then I'll give you that.
"...another load of arsehoiles would stage a Twitter outrage and the police would again be the baddies."
Who do you police FOR..? It's not the 0.5% of scum, it's for the 95.5% of normal people.
"However my guess-only a guess Melvin-was that she probably spoke to either a civilian call handler without any knowledge of the law or a PCSO (the same thing)."
Or she spoke to a modern cop with all the 'qualifications' and no idea what any of them mean..
ReplyDeletemelvs nurses rightin is stuff
you is rite their wpc jilted
ReplyDeleteThe training - with modern technology - should actually be better and far more flexible. -
ReplyDeleteI'm not disagreeing with you, It should be BUT it isn't. They can't afford 20 week residential training anymore and if they could not all the wonderfully vibrant and diverse recruits could OR WOULD do it. Family friendly, locally based, religion tolerant etc etc. All CBT and not much practical. On the job? Who's training who! It's bollocks.
If you mean it no longer recruits the same pool - ex-servicemen - then I'll give you that. - Well of course the service no longer recruits from the pool it once used to - I refer you to above and my original comments. In London they now want BEMs who live in London - if you're a jock ex-servicemen - bugger off.
Or she spoke to a modern cop with all the 'qualifications' and no idea what any of them mean.. - I refer you to my original comment and the two paras. above. Same thing.
You can whine and bitch along with Melvin all you like but the police service is broken with a capital 'F' and it isn't going to get any better….EVER>
What a kitsch contribution to English, Anon. Random capitalisation of all parts of speech may be a rare and venturesome treat but it was your Toytown grammar and punctuation which had me in stitches.
ReplyDeletePerhaps not quite baccalaureate...but was Craptown Secondary your alma mater?
And your contribution to the 'debate' Melvin is, as usual …………time for the meds, nurses be in soon to clean you up and give you brekky. Now get back to your Stanley Unwin's Greatest Speeches book for some more ideas.
