@horseyannie@NormanBrennan Don't fall into the trap of old age and medication. I arrested a frail 85 yr old. Without warning he lunged forward and strangled me. I handcuffed every prisoner after that.
@DCBMEP@RobertJenrick@ConservativeDOr The candidate should be assessed on the qualities need for the role they aspire to, not MP. It is ridiculous that candidates can be marked as a "very good PCC candidate but not MP" and fail the assessment. Not every applicant wants to be an MP.
@WillHayCardiff There has been a lot of criticism of parties not getting out and door knocking. It is impossible to get to every household. Media have a part to play and I saw more about SNP leadership that PCC elections. Why?
@alfiemoore I was ok. Fortunately help wasn’t too far away. My body armour saved me. He managed to bend me backwards over a wall and the rigidity of my armour saved my back. When are you touring west wales. Love the radio 4 programme.
@alfiemoore Second time my cuffs were with another officer, with 3 prisoners and he needed mine. I was walking back to the station when another prisoner handed himself in to me. As we waited for the van to arrive he turned. Within seconds I was fighting for my life. 2/2
@alfiemoore I always handcuffed to the rear. I was in control and aveyine was safe. There were two occasions with compliant prisoners they tried to kill me. First was an 80 yr old alcoholic, who tried strange me when he realised he was going in the back of the car. 1/2
@legalclaret Doesn't require a "highly skilled silk" to destroy their case. I took on their barrister and exposed the lack of evidence and the judge questioned why it was in her court. The company was Horizon - couldn't possibly be connected to the Post Office?
@Amanwy@Amanwy I am from Edinburgh and now live in Pembs. One is a city, the other is rural. In one I can travel on public transport easily and cheaply, the other has no public transport. In one I can ditch my car, in the other it is vital. They are NOT comparable.
@NormanBrennan The facts are he was 15 during the Falklands conflict and is not entitled to wear the medal. I had a lot of respect for him and his real concern about his staff's welfare. When he is shown to be a charlatan it makes me very uncomfortable and undermines trust in police officers.
@daimogssoapbox This is a big news story. Anyone who travels by train which is cancelled would get a bus or taxi replacement. Not a police escort. Security is not an issue. If it was she would t have travelled by train. Clear case of twice.
