[Closed] Top Copper is a lying shyster- should he be jailed?

I keep reading this thread title as 'Tommy Cooper is a lying Shyster'..... and every time I think "huh? but he's dead"

Ernie don't worry I'm not in cloud cuckoo land in that way! Yeah something we agree on 😉

LOL sharkbait ! I kept reading as Tommy Cooper as well .... not just me who's weird/dyslexic then 😀

Worth a new thread?

Top politician is a lying shyster- should he be jailed?

😉

Yup, go for it Flash 8)

We have a problem with a drug-dealing prostitute in my building. There have been scuffles and threats of violence. A neighbour of mine was involved in one such incident, and was threatened by the woman's pimp. So they reported it to police. The prostitute also submitted a complaint (trying to cover her own back).

A week or so later, my neighbour received a letter from the police, regarding their complaint. Although it wasn't actually about their specific complaint, but the one made by the prostitute. The addresses somehow become swapped over. So, the 'confidential' nature of the complaints and reporting incidents procedure has been completely compromised. The prostitute now knows that my neighbour has submitted a complaint against her, and vice-versa.

Because with the greatest respect, you gotta be "living in cloud cuckoo land" if you think everyone trusts coppers completely.

If they can't even get the flippin' addresses right, in a situation as delicate as this one, what faith do you expect ordinary people to have in them?

My neighbour is now living in fear of reprisals from the prostitute and her less than savoury associates. The police have offered no explanation, apology or reassurance.

Sadly, my experience with the police has led me to believe they are part of a deeply flawed and ineffectual institution. I'm not alone in this belief.

They are mostly white, Jeremy. Is that important? I don't know...

Wow. Change that to "black" and see the reception you get...

Tree - that was in response to my crack about his middleclass friends and their colour. Its elfs middle-class friends that are "mainly white"

Ok, I missread it as:

And the thing is, right; if, as is evident, quite a number of coppers are criminal scumbaygs, why should I trust the police or indeed have any respect for them? How do I know that the copper I'm dealing with isn't a rapist or murderer? Like anyone else I may encounter. Are all coppers as pure as the driven snow? The evidence seems to suggest otherwise, M'Lud...

Only if they're white

Aye - it got a bit out of sequence. It was intended to read as this

What about the experiences and opinions of my nice law-abiding highly educated middle class friends though? Don't they count?
