Dave-G Posted September 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Given some people can't resist a swipe about what topics are suitable for this off topic section perhaps we should have a grumbling old *** sub section within off topic that some members can avoid if a subject displeases them so much, perhaps with an option to block the subsection - or red text as a reminder what section it is.

What is our police force coming to when an Assistant Chief Constable turns up infront of the press to brief on a serious shooting incident, dressed in a polo shirt and slacks, no cap in fact no untiform I thought that too .Don't the police get issued shirts anymore ? The scene is only 2 miles from police HQ , he has no excuse looking like a chav dropping the kids at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to a local lad here a few weeks ago and he said they felt like social workers these days not law enforcement officers. Back on track, it will be interesting to get to the bottom of the Birmingham stabbings. Stab one or two in a drunken argument but random acts then that starts to look like terrorist incident.

Yes, possible, but in my experience the offender if not mentally stable will continue offending and not just return home. Had one or two such incidents to deal with and they have always been there or in the vicinity. BUT we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted September 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Contrast the vague disclosure regarding the stabbings to the less inhibited reporting of the schoolboy shooting. My point of the thread is that plod and media have become somewhat neutered in what they can feel able to report without being accused of some "ism or ist" by wet woke types. I'm sure someone else could have worded things better but slight dyslexia or lack of word power exists here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that is missing in all the reports I’ve read about the stabbings is “motive”. There has been absolutely no comment in the shooting incident regarding “motive” either (unless I’ve missed it). So you have two acts of violence, two suspects arrested, the injuries detailed and the weapon mentioned (generically - long barrelled gun and knife). What is the basis of this conspiracy BS?!

The counter point would be that the plod and media have no idea yet of the motivation, but in any respect will be accused of a conspiratorial cover up by some hard of thinking types.

Dave-G Posted September 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Hey, I'm old enough to have an old *** grumble whether you likes it or not. I didn't need a tin hat to see that more revealing detail was released much sooner with the shooting because there was no 'sensitive' element to umm or arr about. If nobody biatched about it I wouldn't have felt inclined to come back to it. Some of you seem to be even grumpier than me. I really don't care but might start finding more trivia to have an old *** grumble about just for the wind up value that seems to be emerging. Can we have an old *** grumble - or 'just get it off yer chest' section please? I mistakenly thought off topic might cover that but apparently it doesn't.

Given you feel I'm stupid do us all a favour and block my posts please, there's a good chap. I'll see if I can figure out how to block your posts so I don't get myself in trouble on here.
