...was working last night and my left back passenger door got smashed in with a brick by some fuckin pikeys. I was working at Pizza Hut at the time so wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. Got to fork out £75 excess now, luckily i'm getting it sorted out tomorrow morning. Police did nothing either which now means i've lost all respect for them! Pissed off!

you actualy had respect for them prior to this??

 :D

Yeah because i was looking into getting into the police force someday, don't know if i want to now!!

What did you expect them to do though. Whilst I think the police force is shit and under staffed they would never catch the offender in that instance

Would you like to tell me exactly what the fuck you expected them to do about it?

Seriously, what?

Cancel all leave? Call in the SOCO's? Bring in the sniffer dogs?

Come on Einstein tell me what? What the fuck could they have done?

I await your reply with interest.

Think thats a little harsh OST.

Personally, I expect to live and work in an area where people have mutual respect for eachother and eachother's property. I dont expect some twat to come along and dent my car.

On another thread several people were slating the McCann's for leaving their children for a couple of hours. Its a shame that we dont berate many other parents for not teaching their kids right from wrong and enforcing discipline.

MV: Don't lose respect for the police. Help them to make a difference! If we all did that then the UK would be a much better place.

It's not harsh at all.

What you are saying about your desire to live in a world where people have a  mutual respect for each other and their property is absolutely reasonable and I share your aspirations in that regard.

With all due respect though, you have quite spectacularly missed the point. Mr Velocity is berating The Old Bill for their inaction but I am merely asking, given that we do not live in a Utopian Society and that 'shit happens', what he expected them to do?

What do you think they should have done?

Or more to the point? What do you think they could have done?

That is my point, which I thought was quite clear in the first instance. I do hope I have now further clarified my position.

But all the same OST, your comments are a little jumped up and un- needed.

Who is my-velocity?

He has 2000+ posts, but i've never noticed him :?

stfc dave?

EDIT: I thought it was one of the ones with stfc in their name

It is harsh, this dude is obviously a kid and this probably the first time he's expierenced this or any type of crime.Why shouldnt he expect the Police to show some interest in a CRIME commited upon his property?

Sure they are overstretched and cant do much about it,its not Velocitys fault is it?

stfcbeckett

'Jumped up'???

Why?

The kid's pissed off that his car window's been smashed in. I'm with him 100% on that and so would anyone. It has actually happened to me. But then he's said the Police are shit because they're not going to do anything.

I'm merely asking what he expects them to do.

You think that's 'jumped up and un-needed' for some reason.

I think it's a perfectly reasonable question :shrug:

Hmmmm....interesting....where exactly did I say it was his fault??

Just the way you wrote your response. No need mate. A classic case of forum bullying

Yep, two uses of the word 'fuck' and an 'Einstein'. Classic bullying. I bet I've psychologically scarred him for life :?

I'm not a copper but I do get pissed off with people having a go at the Old Bill at every opportunity. Of course they make mistakes (some very bad ones in fact) and do some things wrong (very wrong in fact) but there's a lot of 'honest Joes' amongst them who do are doing a damned good job and don't deserve to get tarred with the same brush.

But apparently, if I express that view I am a bully.

Whatever :shrug:

:soapy tit wank: alright mate whatever. Read back over it. yeah? Un-needed reaction? I think so.

It's not bullying though is it......Maybe a little OTT, but otherwise, OST is right....What are the police supposed to do about it?

Sorry to hear about it though STFC Beckett. There are some fucking thoughtless cunts out there

lets hope the police were out catching real criminals....

....although they were probably at a football match making sure people were sat in their seat!

I said a classic case of forum bullying. Where you shoot a comment down unecessarily, not because the kids fat or something.

Well not really. I think my initial reaction was valid.

On reflection, perhaps velocity was pissed off at the general attitude of the police in this situation. I don't know. I wasn't there. There are very different ways of saying the same thing to people. What I mean is, they could have said,

"We're really sorry about the criminal damage you have suffered but ulimately, as much as we would love to aprehend the offenders, there is very little we can physically do," or something to that effect.

In reality they may well have said, "Yeah, yeah pizza boy, whadya want us to do about it?........NEXT!" and been generally very dismissive.

I would not defend that type of reaction.

You can never quite put your point of view accross on a forum such as this in the same way that you could, say, 'down the pub'. It's just not possible to express yourself as you would do face to face.

Personally though, I think that if there were no 'un-needed' reactions on this forum and everything was totally PC (excuse the pun) then this forum would be as boring as fuck.

of course and I agree with that but, shooting someone down, clearly upset with what's happened to them, and I quote...

"Would you like to tell me exactly what the fuck you expected them to do about it?

Cancel all leave? Call in the SOCO's? Bring in the sniffer dogs?

Come on Einstein tell me what? What the fuck could they have done?

Now i feel, imo...  that's un-needed. Fact! OST! Fact! ;)

the police aint gonna waste time looking for a brick thrower as they would almost definately not get a result.
that said alot of them are cunts!

Fair enough. In hindsight, whiltst the point itself is valid, I acknowlege it was a tad over the top. I must have been feeling 'tired and emotional' last night :shrug:

I don't think it's too OTT though, to say that whoever does stuff like breaking car windows etc deserves a thoroughly good kicking. On that I'm sure we can agree 8)

Yeah definitely agree with you there.

so says the man living in america.

The police, at times, do a grand job.  Thankless career

as for damage to your car get used to it i am afraid, ive had many a car smashed up.  the problem is with society not the police

 You got a 4x4 anywhere BB ?

Nope, not yet. However my brother, father, sister and mother have all had them in the past.  :D

Had a tenant smash up my old car (bright yello MG) twat got the wrong one. Idiot

Not any more.  :(

Classy! I like it it - top marks.
