We have Police in GB ,the nickname bobby is from the founder Robert Peel.
Every county has it's own police force , I just DO NOT respect them, not that I,ve been inside ,am quite happy to quote chapter and verse if you wish.
Well, I'm always up for a good story, but wonder if you can't respect all police or just certain ones? I know nothing of your country/culture so perhaps police aren't respected there. Most are here, but there are always bad apples around. Share if you'd like, but don't feel you have to. Remember, my daughter is a police officer here in a city in Iowa.


I hope she is better than ours------------viz


1] in 1966 as a v young girl I worked NEXT DOOR to the town's police stn; my Grandfather and guardian had driven me to work and died on the way home--- despite the fact that I was v young AND that they were next door they hadn't the decency to COME and tell me , merely telephoned and left it at that.
2] in 1972 ,driving to work I crossed traffic lights on green--GO and was smashed into by an unmarked police car with no siren, they said my car was safe to drive to garage but upon arrival there was informed that it was NOT safe ; plus the police wanted me to agree to 50/50 fault---------IN THEIR DREAMS!!
3] although off duty they use personal number plates they prosecute those others who do.
4]at my other property the old lady opposite --91- called them saying she'd had a fraudster knock at door at lunchtime ,they took 24hrs to visit her.
5] we have designated parking on streets for disabled users, twice I have found police parked there when other spaces available ,the last time I approached vehicle to ask why but it was deserted, when confronted they said there was someone with the vehicle at all times, LIE, when confronted with photos showing empty vehicle SUDDENLY they decided that the one behind found it necessary to help the other cop!!!!!.
READING THE ABOVE ARE YOU REALLY SURPRISED AT MY ATTITUDE??????????????
Not surprised at all. I'm sorry you have police who behave badly, act arrogantly, act like laws don't pertain to them, behave coldly without compassion. I can see how it's affected you and if I could say I'm sorry and fix it for you, I would. Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. Is there nothing you can do? Report them to their superiors? I don't know your political arena over there, but surely there is something you/people can do to prevent this type of behavior from ones who are hired to protect and SERVE.
I know this doesn't help, but I am sorry for their behavior as it does put a black mark on all who wear the uniform.
(And, no, my daughter is NOT like them. She takes her position very seriously and does a great job of it!! I am very proud of her!)

Never a better time to say thank you than on Veteran's Day.

To all those who have served, are serving, or will serve, "THANK YOU"
To the families of those "THANK YOU" for allowing your loved one to protect our country and our rights to live where we enjoy so many freedoms.
May you be forever blessed.
