I Hope This Police Officer Is Facing Serious Jail Time!!

[RATTER15]

This is absolutely disgusting! I have been in exactly this position myself, I just casually took the knife away on both occasions. At 95, even if this lady tried to stab an officer, I doubt she would have the strength to penetrate his clothing, her actions would have been so slow, so easily avoidable. Im amazed the care home didn't just deal with this themselves!!

Too right david. Once upon a time we be hit the headlines for all the right reasons and did what was expected of us correctly. Difference is that all our guvveners had a chestful of medals back from the war and knew how to earn and get discipline from us. We also knew n to dress the part, look smart and instil confidence with the public. I could go on. Sigh

I hope he gets kicked off the force.
What on earth was he thinking?
It's too ridiculous for words.

Shocking.

[Barsel]

^^^^^ Doug, your humour is wicked, and I don't mean it in a good way.

[royfromaus]

Australian police...maybe she was un-vaxxed and they were taking no chances?

[douglas9401]

Can't hold a candle to some though, Barsel.

[Barsel]

Not Moi surely, Doug?

[douglas9401]

Just a play on words.

Radio rental, surely a strapping copper, can disarm a 95 year old without all that.

they may have been told by mgt not to.
happened in my hospital

and all the manager tootle around the next day - boards quivering assuring themselves that protocol had been followed. ( and wobbling and gasping in their offices)

no sorry Retro that is NOT what happened

The old lot wiv medals yeah - were ex army. The lower ranks of the police said that they never got a look in to the well paid sunny uplands ( of promotion)
so it was decided by the Great and Good that the police cheifs were drawn from the police
1960s
and yes, people at the time said
are you sure this is the right thing to do?
