It’s very hard, when you try to do a job, but you’re hands are tied behind your back by your boss, and then he tells you to climb up a pole…
Yes, despite the obvious cases of overzealous policing which are highlighted (and rightly so), I will say this. The police on the whole, do an unthankful job, largely unseen by the public, to keep us safe and sound. Yes, some of them sometimes ■■■■ up. Just like some hgv drivers sometimes ■■■■ up.

I have nothing but derisory scorn for the busy bodies who volunteer to go around in an officially sanctioned hiviz, to boss their neighbours around. Hopefully, soon, somebody with more balls than me, kicks one of them down the gutter.
But despite the bad apples, the majority of coppers are trying to do a decent job. They are just as (if not more) frustrated by the red tape and PC inclusivity ■■■■■■■■ and all that as we are.
And I know, my dad was a copper for over 40 years.
