DjWabbet: I guess it depends on where you are in the world, over here the police are generally good, but there have been instances where police conduct has been called into question but that in itself can be said to be true of all police forces in the world.
So yes i trust them, not to solve my problems but to assist and help me if it was ever required.
I would rather live in a world with police than without.

Italian COPS..... went this morning to renew the passport... actually get the new passport with Microchip...
8:45am italy... entering on the police station handle immigration stuff... had to wait 20 mins may be 30 mins in the waiting room before they call me
9:00am get called from the officer in order to proceed with the request for the new passport...and start the papers..
while i'm in the office... the printer and computer are having hard times on working...and lets wait for them.. meanwhile they start asking me question... between an attempt to get the computer up and running... the of the officers tinkering on the computer, is taking his break and drinking coffee chatting with other officers in the office,and i stick in there standing like an idiot for 20 or more mins..answering to their stupid questions..
finally the computer get back on working... but there still be a problem with printer
fixed the printer too another 15 mins.. start processing the papers for my passport included fingerprints... about 1 and half hours for 1 damn passport renewal .... COPS!!!!!
L_B76: i would see them without their wage for a few months.. what they gonna do... now they are doing not much... take away they wage they gonna do nothing at all... lets be honest here... between all coops how many take seriously their job? don't tell me all of them why u know very well isn't true!!!!
As far as taking their jobs seriously.... Would you agree that on Sept. 11, 2001, the police officers that rushed into burning buildings did take their jobs seriously?
The police officers who went to Sandy Hook Elementary School did take their jobs seriously?
Look at your local newspaper. More then likely there was an accident.....police were at the scene.....did they take their job seriously.
The motto of the police in the U.S. is "To Serve And Protect The Public". That covers a whole big area for them to get to.

montemonte: Did you check to see if something more important was happening that needed their attention?
Your brother's house was broken into. From what you wrote, nobody was killed. It was a matter of stolen goods.
I understand that your brother's house is important. But if there was a major accident on the highway where people were killed and all the police needed to be at the scene, would that be acceptable to you that the police were delayed?
People want to believe that they are the only one who needs attention. It happens in doctors offices and law offices. Everybody thinks that their situation is more important then somebody elses and that's not always the case.
If I call the police about a barking dog that is waking up my baby every night and they don't come for an hour, should I assume that something more important came up and they will eventually get here? It's not a matter of life and death.
In essence LB, the world doesn't revolve around just one person.
all i know and see about italian COPS.. and not only... saw few things wrong on UK COPS too... they get paid with public money,which is ok.. but hell.. in a town of 2000 souls how many crimes can happen at once... and more in the time my bro found his apartment got almost destroyed plus the missing things...
monte the fact is.... who gets paid with PUBLIC MONEY..... become lazy...

Are you including the ambulance driver who rushes to the scene of a horrific accident; or the house he goes to where the wife called and said her husband fell to the floor with chest pains???

montemonte: Well I think those stinking cops should all be fired.
In fact, I think we should make them pay back all the money they scammed from the town.
And ya know what, all the medical bills that were paid by the insurance company should be paid back too
Lets put them in their families in dire straits, make them go to dumpsters for food and live under a bridge.
They don't deserve to have wear the uniform.
Yeah, those stinkin cops should all own donut shops

You're trying to wiggle out of the statement you made when you said anyone who gets paid by the public is lazy.
And I asked you about ambulance drivers (who are paid by the public).
And by the way, I know that there are lazy cops; I know that there are cops on the take; and I know that there some cops are worse then criminals.
But I also know that cops are the one I will call when I need help.

I'm trying to have a civil debate with you.
NU i just state WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT AMBULANCE DRIVERS.... we are talking about COPS... thats the point of the thread... i could have include politicians too.... BUT I DIDN'T i did stick on COPS TOPIC...!!!!!
L_B76: well i miss the cops... if i call them and they get to me after 45 mins 1h... i know there are crimes all over the city i know and understand... but hey... how about the law says nobody can drinks alcoholics in glass bottle on the street... but u see young people around victoria area... passing COPS patrolling the streets an dont tell them a thing.. but go bother an homeless is minding its way and drinking a beer sitting on the floor? isn't the law the same for everybody? come on man... thats a stupid thing... but the law should be the same for all.. and cops should make respect the law to all of us i believe...

That's a very nice mail you sent to me. If you'd like to fly to England and say that to my face then I'd be more than happy to piss on your smashed and broken skull for you. Have a nice day.

Some people don't have any respect. The entity is probably homeless talking big stuff. Have a good day friend.
