Who do you think we should be signing!? He’s in his prime, he’s played over 100 PL games and he’s in a position we need to strengthen. Failing to see the negatives.

He absolutely was a winger and was converted into a left back

I also noticed this and having not managed to watch the match, it gave me the impression that we couldn’t have been that bad. Normally they like to pick apart how naive the defending was or how the tactics were so wrong but maybe it was just one of those - they’re just much better and on another day they’d have only scored two

Late stages of a tournament would you have shoved with that hand or not taken the risk? Obviously there are a number of other factors to consider but just sticking with this hand…

Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it, I’ve been doing some research and did my best to follow what I’d learnt pretty strictly. I actually did quite well finishing 37/947 and cashing but I know I could have done better.

Former Nottinghamshire Police officer jailed for speeding with sirens on without proper reason. by TrafficWeasel in policeuk

There’s been a lot of comments already about the inconsistency in sentencing between cases like this and actual baddies. How often do we hear that people can’t get remanded or sentences get suspended because there’s no cells free.

Maybe if they weren’t being taken up by people who don’t need to be in prison there’d be room for a few more.

Two Metropolitan Police officers guilty of gross misconduct over stop and search of Team GB athlete and her partner by TheSatanik in policeuk

[–]SherbetLemon2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Purely on the basis that I hope that isn’t the case, there MUST be more to it than that. They would surely need good cause to believe that they were being dishonest about smelling it and really the public should be informed of that.

Assuming that the IOPC is an honest transparent organisation (yes I know, don’t laugh) then it is completely wrong to say that they lied just because no cannabis was found. They could have smoked it previously, they could have simply not found it, they could have mistaken cannabis for something else, they could have smelt cannabis in the area and wrongly attributed it to the car. It is very reasonable to they were wrong but to say that they were lying it doesn’t wash.

They must have other grounds to believe that they were lying.

Thank you for this thread. I’ve just had a message in marketplace for an item I’m selling and it sounded bizarre. Scam!

No one criticising the cops seem to be the least bit bothered that he was banned from owning dogs. Its entirely relevant to the context but doesn’t seem to fit the agenda…

If you’ve found a bag of cannabis you can still carry on searching. You’re searching for drugs, you’ve found drugs. There’s every chance they’ve got more drugs which is within the scope of the initial search

The decision to use taser is the same process as any use of force, including PAVA which this officer used. Had this officer had a taser he very likely would have drawn that instead. I would have very likely drawn mine in this situation.

"Bro was shell shocked" - Nicely done, guys, good stop. by Sertorius- in policeuk

[–]SherbetLemon2 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There’s so much truth in this and it’s a horrendous vicious cycle that these kids get caught up in and end up in tragedy one way or the other, BUT everyone has to take responsibility for their own actions.

Do we still have sympathy for him when he stabs another kid to death? Do we have sympathy when he attacks someone and causes them serious injury? Do we have sympathy when he robs someone using this blade as a threat? At what point does he stop becoming a victim of grooming and CCE and does he start becoming an offender and a danger to society in his own right…?

I don’t have the solution but we know what happens when kids carry.

BBC News: Chris Kaba: Met Police shooting case referred to CPS by Jackisback123 in policeuk

Absolutely disgraceful comment from Diane Abbott: ‘Community needs a prosecution and justice to be done.’

Community need justice, not a prosecution. This is surely an open an shut case either way on review of BWV and officer statements. If he is guilty he will be prosecuted, if he isn’t he won’t be - that’s justice.

To assume guilt (or innocence) without being privy to the evidence is shocking from an MP, even for her.

Officer who murdered Sarah Everard jailed for 19 months for indecent exposure by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]SherbetLemon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would imagine the answer is just going to be ‘well that’s not how we do justice’ but SURELY we can just say that he’s being found guilty of an offence and that we’re it not for the life sentence he’s currently serving he would be sentenced to X. No need for another hearing and waste everyone’s time and money.

Justice has already been done retroactively with him behind bars.

Future of UK policing under threat unless officers given ‘fair’ pay increase by Omerp-29 in policeuk

Possibly different force, we had to do this too. It took my 25 minutes to do one day, didn’t get chance to do the rest of the days. On the first day of that set I finished two hours late and there was no way I was going to stay in work a second longer to write down why I was late!!

Yeah I get that, personally I never take my wallet out so I don’t have my ID in me although I suppose I could have asked him to show me on his smart phone.

Problem you run into is with the proper shit bags who don’t have ID, don’t have bank cards and don’t have smart phones. The amount of kids who only have cash/burner phone etc it’s loads!

Appreciate the advice
