With people like this 'man' in charge of policing, is it any wonder we are rapidly becoming a laughing stock, unable or unwilling to prevent damage and destruction of property every time some Soros-funded agitators feel like having a public tantrum?Seems @abennett_police is proud of what happened in Bristol today. I think he should be ashamed and embarrassed, although he does maintain a straight face rather well.— Colin Sutton (@colinsutton) June 7, 2020

Here, Andy Bennett, this is for you:
You're a disgrace to the uniform you wear. And nothing but a burden on the Bristol taxpayer. If you had an ounce of self-respect you'd resign.
But it's clear you haven't an ounce. So the Home Secretary should stir herself and remove you.
Rather fascinating to me at least is the notion that slave owner's artifacts should be destroyed. That means that slave owner Mo's mosques need to be pulled down, and other traces of his heritage wiped out, does it?
ReplyDeleteNo more fit than WC Jaded et al, to be white feather recipients. More the sort to enthuse over issuing penalty tickets to white, middle-aged, middle class citizens 'speeding' at 31 mph or traducing police critics from the safety of a station desk.
ReplyDeleteBut let us not hastily label his type as completely useless...well, not until we see how good they are at washing feet of no particular description.
I'v seen this video. It's shameful but he will be patting himself on the back and planning his next step on the promotion ladder.

Not much I know but 10 minutes form filling online to put in official complaint to avon and S police is worth doing, I did.
ReplyDeleteWe now have two separate legal systems in UK. One for those who cry racist and can do what they like and another more draconian system for the decent law abiding people. Such discrimination has been tried before in other places and times and it never ends well. Our Police and government ministers are trying the patience of the law abiding and sooner or later they will get an unpleasant reaction that nobody needs or wants. The Police need to remember that they police by consent here and in many places that consent is wearing very thin.
ReplyDeleteBack in 2004 many farces were worried about losing "policing by consent" as a result of the Hunting Bill being passed.
ReplyDeleteToday's police, by ignoring or condoning sundry offensive wrongdoings, are actively trying to lose that consent.
Unfortunately, there's a definite movement for senior plod to be apologists for law-breaking scum who are either from an approved demographic. or the fascist left. Could they have a common purpose?
ReplyDeleteI seldom post on blogs but I just can't ignore this...I retired from a large County Police Force 19 years ago after 30 years service, the vast majority of it on the front line and had reached a middling rank. I was proud to have been part of something that was supported and respected by the vast majority of the law abiding communities we policed. If the criminal classes didn't like us - even feared us - tough, we were doing our jobs. But I don't recognise what UK Policing has become in the last few years. The type of leadership we have seen, particularly in recent months, culminating in this weekend's shameful scenes reduces me to despair. Rant over, I'm going to have a stiff g&t and try and wipe J. Arthur's like this from my mind.

ReplyDeleteThe present generation could never comprehend the relationship that once existed between law abiding citizens and village police. In the early post-war years, the Sergeant made social calls on his black bicycle. Nobody would think it odd in the slightest, when my mother brought him a cup of tea to the back door. Information and intelligence (gossip) was exchanged although there were complex social rules as to how it was all conducted before he would leave with a few apples from the garden.
The whole point of the exercise was for the police and law-abiding to be of mutual aid and support to each another...and it seemed to work quite well. The police knew who the rogues were, where they lived and what was going on in the community. In those days, if you had something stolen, there was an even chance of getting it returned by a smiling Sergeant.
The white feather was a powerful message during WWI.
ReplyDeleteTime for a reprise?
There are SO many candidates world wide.
Wake up and smell the chooks!
It's the beginning of the end and Mr Plod will be forced to shelter in a deeper bunker.
ReplyDeleteThis is a shameful excuse for a police officer. He allowed his officers to stand by and allowed a mob to prevail. It is cretins such as this that have occupied too many senior positions in police forces since Blair came to office. They are not just ineffective in controlling real crime but by their actions and their words they actively reduce public confidence in the police.
ReplyDeleteTwenty years ago my sister in law was hospitalised after some scrote jumped a red light and wrote off her car. Plod attended, as did an ambulance or two. Scrote's woman was screaming (whilst holding Baby Scrote) that he could have killed her and the child. In other words plod could tell what had happened.
ReplyDeleteAvon and Somerset (yes, them) declined to prosecute - they "couldn't afford to".
Hi Nemisis, not uncommon, a foreign guy ran into the back of my daughter's car and wrote it off while trying to find his phone. He went home and the police said there was nothing they could do. Funny really we were in the EU at the the time and he came from an EU country.
ReplyDeleteNemesis. Avon and Somerset police may have claimed that they could not afford to prosecute a scroat who was driving dangerously but they seem to have enough cash to run a 'Diversity Section' and slather over Stonewall, you know the same Stonewall that thinks castrating little boys and turning them into ersatz girls is acceptable.
ReplyDeleteFor the attention of Nemesis: https://www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/about/policies-and-procedures/equality-and-diversity/ I wonder how much all this guff costs? Too much would be my guess
ReplyDelete"That means that slave owner Mo's mosques need to be pulled down, and other traces of his heritage wiped out, does it?"
ReplyDeleteOf course not! Because, err, reasons...
"...he will be patting himself on the back and planning his next step on the promotion ladder."
Probably aiming for Met Police Chief. Mind you, probably be better than the Dick who currently holds the role..
"... 10 minutes form filling online to put in official complaint to avon and S police is worth doing, I did."
I hope you didn't just give them a way to ensure any illegal parking in the future draws a swift response...
"We now have two separate legal systems in UK. "
Yes. You'd have to be blind not to see it.
"Back in 2004 many farces were worried about losing "policing by consent" as a result of the Hunting Bill being passed."
They no longer care about that.
"But I don't recognise what UK Policing has become in the last few years. "
ReplyDeleteI recognise it all too well. As Ted points out, there's a Common Purpose to it all.
"The present generation could never comprehend the relationship that once existed between law abiding citizens and village police. I"
Sadly, yes.
"They are not just ineffective in controlling real crime but by their actions and their words they actively reduce public confidence in the police."
I wonder when it will reach rock bottom?
" I wonder how much all this guff costs? Too much would be my guess"
Mine too. Yet we have no choice but to keep paying.
