That could be me Adam! 'Tis true, I've never hidden my contempt for the Police on this forum?? and won't in the future, but, I would add, with very good reason. I can also confirm that it doesn't refer to any individuals, other than the few completely brain dead imbeciles I've had the misfortune to have to endure when I've needed help.
Having said that however, (in the other thread) Rhino's casual dismissal of my '2' cases somehow being too few to seemingly not mean anything is indicative of how out of touch and 'other planet' (referring to my later comment) some of them can be. It is precisely this kind of lack of understanding and response that fuels the poor perception a lot of the public have of the Police, but it shouldn't need me to explain that to him?.. if it does, then maybe he's in the wrong job.
When I was the victim of thieving scumbags I didn't hesitate to involve the Police, it didn't occur to me to do anything else?. but it was a mistake. Far from recovering my stolen property it directly brought about the final loss of it altogether!! I was realistic enough to realise that after several weeks there was, for whatever reason, little chance of the Police recovering my property. So I put my ear to the ground and found it myself, fairly easily. Standing on a box on the top of a mate's van to peer over a wall confirmed this, so while I stood watch he went off to call the Police but they couldn't come for some time. Nevertheless, I waited until some familiar faces in a passing car observed me who were very interested in my presence there. For my own safety I left but watched from around the corner while they hurriedly moved my stuff to another address - a house. I followed them and my pal redirected the Police. When they finally arrived they listened to what had happened and knocked on the door to confront them. The thieving scumbags denied all knowledge and the Police told me there was nothing they could do!! WTF??? I followed my own property to that address but the empty heads told me there was not enough to go on!! WTF?? I said I'd get it out myself and made for the door, but the empty heads restrained ME?? I was within yards of MY property but was prevented from proving it. I was told to leave, while the thieves laughed from the window - and my property was never seen again.
HOW FUCKING STUPID IS THAT???
What ever happened to common sense here? I defy ANYBODY to explain to me that that was the right and considered action to take, or rather NOT take. The Police couldn't/wouldn't find this stuff? so I did?.. and handed them a gift theft case on a plate, but they were more interested in warning me than nailing these thieving scumbags. That sickened me in the same way as I was sickened for Richard when they done his bike, but that is something those two plods will probably never understand. But still, they know best eh?
The above briefs just one of my unfortunate encounters. Please excuse me if I have difficulty in understanding when they say don't take the law into your own hands!! It just highlights how out of touch some of the dopey Police really are. Most of them haven't got a fucking scooby what it's like to be thieved from and yet they tell you this FFS. Until they address this realism issue they'll never get the respect they bleat about not having. Idiots like the two above should also remember when short changing victims of crime that these are the same victims that contribute to their salaries ? victims who do not have a choice in that no matter how bad the service is. What on earth happens to coppers when they go for their training? ? common sense seems to vanish with a lot of them. To all reading this I say how many times have you heard this said? That is why I'll say again whenever they are ready to join the rest of us on this planet, please get on with it! They will be welcome, but excuse me for putting the respect thing on the back boiler until then and sorting things myself. In what the Police perceive to be 'trivial' cases like this it's the only way to get anything done. Can anybody explain what one SHOULD do when the Police won't act?? And please don't quote all this drivelling fucking shite about being arrested and lowering yourself to their level etc ffs, they are just excuses. What is the real alternative????.????? mmmm, thought so.
To the Police that gripe about the flak, sort the root issues and perhaps it'll go away. But you should know that??.
By Mr fucking angry. This will be the only post I make on this thread.
