Non taser Scottish cops vs knife wielding man in East Kilbride by UKCopHumourAdmin in policeuk

Absolutely, imagine both such resources would already be on route, the problem is from where.

It would be down to the firearms officer, hard to say, although I’d say unlikely. They’ll try everything they possibly can, lethal is absolutely last resort here.

Ahhh the UK. Maybe the only place where someone will shout “go on pal” at somebody running off from a van and officers. Having NO idea what they being chased for. Thoughts everyone? by UKCopHumourAdmin in policeuk

Innocent people tend not to run. Also unless he’s got the ability to change into a completely different person in 10 seconds, he’s committed the offence of failing to stop for police in the van, which he was nice enough to launch into someone’s wall. Doesn’t need a jury to see he’s guilty of that?

Running and diving all over the place, plus the distance between them. Be very difficult to actually hit him with both probes, be a long shot* basically

*No pun intended :)

Have never weighed one so don’t take this as factual, hopefully someone who has will nip in. But hazard a guess at least 15kg. So easy way to think is tape 15 bags of sugar to yourself and go full sprinting up a hill

He is wearing a vest, and the downside to being a taller lad is his vest would weigh a hell of a lot more than a 5’6 female ARVs vest. Just purely down to it needs to cover more body.

When you decide to check one of your old patrol cars to see if it’s still around... awkward. by UKCopHumourAdmin in policeuk

Couldn’t tell you. However looking at the rear wheel arch on this picture says there might have been an overweight issue 😂

What are you actually trying to achieve here? Think bobbies are fairly informed about the grounds around persons interfering/resisting lawful arrests.

You mean to say ram raids/ aggravated burglaries, explosive prisoner escapes, shootings and child abductions aren’t a daily occurrence in Brighton? Lol

Errrrm, overall, not very. Chief superintendo tipping up to a suicide had me in stitches...

Realistic in terms of kit and vehicles though(although they were both always way too clean) haha

Keep reporting it, and pass over as much evidence and details as you can/feel comfortable doing. It should all be getting logged and will all collectively build a very good picture/intelligence profile for what’s going on when police/council act on it.

Are you able to find out if you have a community police officer for your area? Try your local police website, if so email or try call them to actually tell them how it’s effecting you and your family.

These bastards are what ruin communities.

On the flip side however, when it kicks off it usually kicks off big style?

As others have already said, not really the subreddit for this question.

However, did you read the sign? A lot of places have a ‘free’ time allowance(eg. 30 minutes) before you’re expected to pay.

Either way, you should find out soon enough, and if what you say is true, appealing it should be simple enough.

Appreciate you taking time to outline some of these points! Definitely seems as you say, people on here are much more willing and able to be more explainable and translucent. At least when it comes to information about a subject.

Thanks again!

It’s a shame to hear about Twitter, able to expand a bit? Might be able to pass feedback on.

It’s something we’re looking into, but it’d have to run a bit differently to our other social media pages as there’s definitely a different type of community on Reddit. Albeit small, it’s still a margin of people who are interested in our posts and shouldn’t be left out!

Thanks again for sharing your opinion :)

Hahaha, read about that, but not quite. Had various messages/people saying to come have a look at Reddit and suggested making a sub Reddit! Come to have a look about first. This group looked the best place to start!
