    I usually somewhere in there use "Oh my God!"
    ;)

    (I've read that simply using "Officer" is good.) This post was edited by WelbyQuentin at May 5, 2018 6:12 PM MDT

    Where that is the case such satire would be well aimed.

    As compared to the ones in America who go around shooting people left and right for having the wrong skin color?!?
    You've no idea, really. Most of your cops don't even carry guns! 

    *To be clear, I know there are some wonderful, honest people who become police officers to help others.*

    I do agree with you mostly....just one dodgy one tarnishes them all.....the annoying thing is is that there is no one there to police the police..
    Our government is against finding any guilty as just imprisoning one gives them all a bad name....and they can't have the public thinking bad of them

    They are doing a job that they choose to do...if they commit crimes of any sort they should be punished far harsher then the general public...
    Getting away with their crimes or miss givings is just a perk of the job...

    Our ex Priminester Tony Blair is responsible for so many death in the gulf wars and the Middle East...he still walks free as well..

    There are more and more police being armed over here....they to shoot innocent people yet none have ever gone to trial for manslaughter yet......They shot an old man just out of hospital recovering from cancer as he walked home from the pub one night.....
    The whole police force threatened to go on strike if the government prosecuted the killers....
    Guns kill no matter who holds them in their hands.....
    It happenes far less in England though.....but it does still happen....

    You all need to stop trying to emulate us. Next thing you know, you'll elect your own big orange idiot as PM.
