Walker570 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Yes, they are all on the bandwagon. Report on Sky about a black couple being stopped on a housing estate by two police officers who politely asked for their details, just doing their job. BUT NO, this couple cannot just respond by providing details and have to up the anti by complaining and notifying everyone on social media from where Sky picked it up and ran with it. The bad part is the numpties in charge of running the police force actually apologised to them. If I was stopped and I have been a few times, I respond to what the officer is asking, provide details etc etc., and at the end of the conversation I always say thank you for being out there doing your job. It's going to get worse before it settles down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 If these fools think they can change history they really are total top of the class idiots. It really is getting very stupid now, see what happens when the RW gang get down there, they will be outnumbered 100-1 but i bet they will be the ones targeted as causing trouble.

Zetter Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 One of the pro devolution people on my face book and some SNP types are already saying this was a false flag operation by Scottish Unionists. There are a lot fo people out there who must have a lot of tin foil as wallpaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team tractor Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 They’re on about pulling down the sir Robert peel monument. We are proud of our heritage in Tamworth and they’ll be a hell of a fight to defend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad was a typical casual racist, as many were of his generation, so I suppose I am next to be targeted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d certainly need to give me a bit more than I look suspicious! The law says a police officer can ask you for your driving details at any time without explanation, or he can issue a form(used to be an HORT1) which requests you present those details at a police station of your choice. I see no big issue with doing so, they can check me out any time they wish. Perhaps we should go along with the present American idea of doing away with police entirely and as and when you are attacked or robbed etc etc., the local council send along a social worker to advise you.

Id have to agree, if asked Id just go along with it, if you have nothing to hide why be a **** about it.

On the whole I respect the Police and the job they do, have several friends who are either serving or retired, but I guess even good 'uns - which is the vast majority - can have a bad day.

I’m not anti police and I believe they still have to have a reasonable justification for requesting your details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
