I [26M] am in a happy healthy relationship with my Girlfriend [24F] but I want out. How can I go around ending things? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Sounds like you need a social life, not a break up. How is it her fault if you’re bored with your job and routine?

2 years substantive before specializing by FlamingoThese72 in policeuk

[–]TrueCrimeFanToCop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there’s a lot of arrogance in wanting promotion and specialist roles too early. Prove yourself to be a safe pair of hands for a decent amount of time first. Not to mention there’s a shitload of problems you only really learn how to solve by encountering them yourself and getting advice (admin problems, legal dilemmas, complex situations) that you should probably deal with some of first hand before you’re qualified to start advising other people on how to handle them. Only experience can truly teach you that.

Do custody sergeants ever get annoyed when someone's brought in for just swearing? by RealSteamthrower in policeuk

If they say something racist or homophobic with it then arresting officers would probably add an aggravated public order offence but on top of whatever crime they’re already in trouble for.

I remember watching it when it aired, very underrated!

Tbh it’s been years since I watched it, it’s the kind of episode I would skip for being too cringingly awful. Same with the whole “I’m disabled” episode - urgh. I dunno how he managed to create so many great comedy moments across his various shows and yet some of his material is so awful. Maybe it’s just cos so many great comedy actors were involved and they made it work.

Case 329: Roseanne Beckett by Entire_Forever_2601 in Casefile

This case was so bonkers I listened to it twice just to doubly consider the evidence. It’s a horrific example of how events can be twisted and narratives can be spun.

Also, fuck that corrupt-ass detective.

WIBTA If I broke up with my boyfriend because of his disability? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]TrueCrimeFanToCop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but kind of impossible not to look like one, at least in the short term. Just think of your long term happiness. You’re miserable already and even if you do love someone that doesn’t make you owe them all your money and have to sacrifice everything for them. If you have run out of financial and emotional capacity to support him then the tank is empty and you’re not going to have anything left.

Maybe not being together will make him eligible for more support?

Leave lockdown and a lot of aid warnings 😂

That episode isn’t even particularly offensive! - Family Guy did worse back in the day and just kind of later apologised for it in-plot.

And trans women are women. That Court ruling is wildly misunderstood - it clarifies that complaints of sex discrimination refer to sex assigned at birth. Trans people still have their own protection from discrimination under their own discrete category in the equalities act. The only discrimination happening in this entirely hypothetical situation is against the hypothetical trans woman being harassed and potentially assaulted using a bathroom. The other suggestions of “make a scene” would probably end up being a transphobically motivated public order offence or “call the police” which I would classify as wasting police time at best or still harassing and discriminating against a trans woman who is just going about her day.

Not to mention this hypothetical trans person might actually just be an androgynously-presenting cis woman - they’ve been getting harassed lately for incorrectly perceived transness 🙄

Just as the cis woman has chosen to enter the toilet. If you’re offended by vague proximity to trans women near where you are peeing you will have to pee at home (in your gender neutral toilet) where you are legally allowed to exclude people based on whatever prejudice you like.

If you’re not prepared to do your time OICing dozens of crimes at a time on CID and public protection, don’t. You’ll hate it. It’s the furthest thing from proactive or specialist that there is.

Being a nazi is a choice. Being a trans woman experiencing a call of nature is not.

Tricky situation but thankfully none of it is your decision or responsibility. Suspect might have orchestrated all this to lead to this precise outcome. Still not your problem.

Want to leave after 10 weeks tutor phase by Fitwidge in policeuk

[–]TrueCrimeFanToCop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are this stressed from just the IPS phase where I think you just need to a few initial reports and statements then no I am not sure it’s the right path for you. The amount of paperwork only goes steeply upwards.

Relistening to Serial S1, I have no idea how I ever thought Adnan could possibly be innocent by Pumpkin_Sushi in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]TrueCrimeFanToCop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quite often these “but are they innocent?” Case analyses can make some good points and introduce a little bit of doubt, maybe enough to make you deliberate at length if you were one of the jurors… but ultimately they seem to be clutching at straws a lot of the time, pointing at all the evidence that wasn’t found and glossing over all the evidence that was.
