I enjoyed this video immensely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsgXWPRbKQE

I'm guessing that in the states that would have ended in some sort of strobe-light super taser making everyone breakdance in the middle of the courtroom floor?

There is a longer version as well, if you would like to watch a non-MET police force crowd controlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkM3Hc9Opxg

The Met would have just kettled them for 50 hours until they were so dehydrated they would be drinking their own piss.

Enjoy your soulless 4th of July, American Cop gunes. Take pleasure where you can in your hollow existence without the warming and completing glory of her Majesty. I'm going on the beat tonight, I'm going to hum Rule Britannia and if I see a single drunk American celebrating this day of blasphemy I will abuse him so badly he will look like he was hit by a train.

That would be France where there are areas of the capital city where the Police acknowledge they can't go without armored vehicles and riot gear. They torch cars like loving tinder on guy fawkes, then again if my car was a Renault then I would spark the oval office up as well.

There was also one a few years ago in Belgium where some bloke kitted up like the Joker and stabbed a load of toddlers at a primary.

This is the way to correct way to professionally deal with a dog. You allow the dog to attack 5 officers, in a dignified manner, before finally shooting it.

I mean, I can forgive the civilians, there are loads of myths about pit bulls out there, so they might be unreasonably afraid of it, but there were a few other officers there futzing about with other things while their colleague gets mauled.

Apparently several officers were disciplined over the incident. A few double handed hits to it's back with an asp would have broken it's spine and all of the cars have CO2 extinguishers which would have stopped to dog attacking for a while. That officer turning his back on the dog and his colleague should have been kicked out of the job.

The Polish are our Mexicans, the Irish are like Puerto-Ricans, Canadians are friendly and polite so they are nothing like the Scots. The Scots are more like, well nothing, the Scots are genuinely unique, there isn't another race on earth like them, they don't even speak a language, it's just like English mixed with alcohol and stage 3 throat cancer.

There's nowhere near enough casual drug use amongst gypsies for the comparison to trailer trash to hold.

Also the Trailer Trash I see on American TV all seem lazy as gently caress. Whatever you say about travelers or the way they earn their money they are hard workers. Re-paving drives, doing landscaping etc is pretty backbreaking for bottom dollar, even if they don't do the job properly. It's funny to see how they identify themselves as Irish diaspora and that they get discriminated against in the UK, but if you go to Ireland the Garda are ruthless with travelers. They straight up confiscate caravans that are trespassing/on public property and in county Cavan the dregs of the RIRA have been known to force them off land at gunpoint.

Well, for my shift, one of the officers on our team served his final duty last night, after 40 years on the front line. He won the Queens Police medal https://twitter.com/MPSSouthwark/status/479885304485392384 and for his final shift they arranged his daughter (who is a Detective Sergeant in another force) to work as his operator and the Borough commander to ride shotgun for the night, they actually managed to nick a Burglar in progress. For refreshments we had a BBQ at 3am and at the end of the duty he was driven in a convoy of 18 cars all the way home.

The prisoners could smell the BBQ outside and, because they were mostly drunk, were kicking off because they couldn't have any.

Yep, I'll take that, Lorne sausage is pretty drat nice, especially with an egg. You can keep the white pudding though, that poo poo is disgusting.

Lorne doesn't fall out from a roll which is grand. White pudding is rank, black pudding is awesome and haggis is a nice treat for breakie.

Ha, canteen at work, what are they? We are left to roam the streets and visit our favoured takeaways and cafés if we want hot food other than microwave or toaster fare.

I'm guessing you don't have 1000 officer police stations though. The food at Hendon training center is genuinely good. I always get their early to grab some food. The canteens are usually only 0700-about 1630 so only early turn really get to eat or people working office hours.

I ate BBQ gator in Florida, it was loving delicious but the gator we get in London is nowhere near as fresh. Orlando cops also pulled us over and wet themselves with excitement when he pulled his license out of a warrant card. I also saw people collecting money in one of the bars for Sinn Fein and my dad almost explode.

Thats my florida experience, I hope you enjoy it

Also gently caress the manatees, one of them blew snot on me

Whats with the lack of cuffing and first aid going on?

I'm not going to cry about him being shot because for all I know he might have just killed someone round the corner and the Police have an honest belief that he will do it again, but if you're gonna shoot someone, why the gently caress would you go for the legs and not shoot centre mass?

How are you going to argue in court that you were justified in shooting him in the legs to stop him but not in the chest to kill him but he ended up bleeding out because the bullet nicked the femoral anyway?

It's Poland, I've been a few times and the police are pretty hands on but the criminal justice system is meant to be pretty modern and has to conform to all the wankery that the EU stuffs down it's throat. You might expect a kicking for being arrested for drunken fighting but a bit of extra-judicial killing seems a bit strong for them. Watching that video it just looked like the officers didn't know what they were doing.

In my part-time professional opinion, that officer was on Cocaine and possibly PCP.

Really no need to crack out the CS or baton him though, could have dealt with that pretty easily with his ridged cuffs.

I'm guessing that they probably have already called for backup and transport simply by the fact that people have had time to congregate. In the Met you'd have support in less than 4 minutes in the middle of the day but I've no idea how long TV have to wait.

We get taught to get the cuffs on a wrist ASAP and use the cuffs to maneuver them about and put them on the floor, which they to exceptionally well in my experience. During training I was getting floored by tiny female officers. Because I was the biggest guy in the class I got used for every demonstration and I'm acutely aware of how loving painful they are when someone is pushing them against the back of the wrist.

I doubt I would use CS that close to the target because I would end up 'gassed' and not able to see the crowd around me. Also we get in the poo poo if the CS is deployed closer than a meter because it can blind. Can always spray it in your hand and wipe it on his face.

Apparently we won't get issued with PAVA because of the re-training costs. Every vehicle has an extra fire extinguisher to deal with dogs, although it doesn't seem to work for long.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelargonic_acid_vanillylamide

It's one of the agents in Pepper spray and it's meant to be loving agonizing and an awful lot more effective than CS, which is garbage and won't deter any really determined attacker. I should know because I've been gassed about 3 times now.

If you lot are desperate for a picture of me in a beat helmet and mustache I can take a fake one in to the station and have a picture taken. You won't get it till next Friday though, I'm on leave.

Don't know if it's true but apparently CS isn't allowed to be used around horses because the smell makes them go radio rental. Personally I would jump at the chance to see mounted division go on some sort of CS induced blitzkrieg next time they are at a public event.

I was racially abused by a Mexican last night. Got a call to a rough nightclub to find some piss-streak Mexican guy kicking off outside the front door screaming verbal abuse at the door staff, who could have squashed him like an insect if they had wanted. Anyway, I walk up to him and ask him to calm down and tell me what was bothering him, I didn't really expect a coherent answer, maybe a short conversation and he would walk off into the night. What I actually got was "gently caress you, you gringo pig bitch pork pork" and "Even you're own people hate you, in Mexico I shoot Gringo porks like you." He landed an astonishingly soft punch on the side of my head and then found himself folded in to the cage of a carrier, kicking and threatening to shoot me and all my pork family from a Helicopter. I couldn't keep a straight face when I carried him in to custody.

As usual he started crying when the cell door closed. Enjoy your hate crime charge this morning, amigo.
