Who Knew They Still Had Any?


And presumably, it being 2024, the women's testicles too?

The arresting uniform has been narrowly cut in such a way that there is barely room to swing a baton, they say. Women officers meanwhile are unhappy about the lack of space given 'between waist and the crotch'.

Most of the female cops are practically dwarves anyway. 

The damning verdicts on their official issued uniform came about as part of the first ever police uniform and equipment survey run by Lancaster University and the Police Federation.
Benjamin Elk of the Taxpayers' Alliance dismissed the survey as a 'farce' and 'distraction' to officers fighting crime.

Ah, if only that's what they did, instead of harassing people wanting to film in public. Or critiquing a crime victim’s language while ignoring the crime she's trying to report.

The job of the poor strippogrammer imitating a police "person" gets harder and harder.
As does the task of trying to prosecute someone for imitating a police "person".
What actually is a police uniform? And are caps not part of it any more. The rule used to be that a full uniform had to be worn when doing serious police work.

Doonhammer, I'm not certain there is a proper Police uniform anymore. I'm my town, you only see Police officers patrolling in their cars so, as far as I know, they could be naked from the waist down.
On the rare occasions they are seen on foot, they are either bare headed or wear those ridiculous baseball caps, with only the checked pattern around the base differentiating them from Rent a Bouncer. To add to their ridiculous posture, they either have their hands tucked into their stab proof (which aren't) vests, or in their trouser pockets (seeking relief for their testicles?). Where personal pride has gone, something that, as officers of the Crown, we all used to ensure was there, I have no idea. 20 years out, now, and loving it.

Benjamin Elk … is he the elder brother of Anne Elk, of brontosaurus infamy?

How often do they do that, these days?

"Where personal pride has gone, something that, as officers of the Crown, we all used to ensure was there, I have no idea."

If you want to destroy an organisation, you need to demoralise it first.
