In this case the 'cat' was a completely innocent driver.<BR/><BR/>I liked the senior copper's dismissal of the incident because there wasn't an official record of it. It is interesting to note a mind which doesn't believe something exists unless there is an official record of it. Presumably the contempt we all feel for him and his officers is imaginary, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-24134682856498274252009-03-06T17:17:00.000+00:002009-03-06T17:17:00.000+00:00"The lowering of recruiting standards to accommoda...<I>"The lowering of recruiting standards to accommodate those 'under represented' from 'our communities etc?"</I><BR/><BR/>Oh, I suspect people like this have always existed, but the wiser managers realised what harm they do, and squashed them bwefore they became a problem.<BR/><BR/>Today's 'managers' have their eyes on their targets and nothing else...<BR/><BR/><I>"Hmmm ..."</I><BR/><BR/>Yeah, it's almost as if there's some kind of weird correlation, isn't it?JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-56167938335317010732009-03-06T17:02:00.000+00:002009-03-06T17:02:00.000+00:00Hmmm ...<A HREF="http://www.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/3416091/the-police-no-longer-have-the-publics-confidence.thtml" REL="nofollow">Hmmm</A> ...Obnoxio The Clownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012089552153702526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-79164340100538144592009-03-06T08:49:00.000+00:002009-03-06T08:49:00.000+00:00Good job Pc Jobsworth isn't around when I'm drivin...Good job Pc Jobsworth isn't around when I'm driving listening to 'Count Arthur Strong' or 'Ed Reardon's Week'. I'd be doing LIFE! All this stupidity and petty officialdom is growing daily, why? Micro-managing government? The removal of discretion in occupations such as policing? The lowering of recruiting standards to accommodate those 'under represented' from 'our communities etc? Crazy but very alarming at the same time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
