A Bobby on the beat… Now with taser! Discussing the trials and tribulations that a any PC faces... All views are my own.

@UKLabour erm I think this needs serious addressing! Promising more officers but then under funding Essex Police… Either this isn’t true or you were telling lies in the photos below!

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@JanChat56 @therugbycoach10 @_IanAdams Not all forces have horses! I think they did all they can to find the owner and a vet to assist but to no avail! I understand this doesn’t look nice but in this situation had the calf run away and then got hit by a car which then ended up killing someone, there would be uproar!

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@metpoliceuk Absolutely embarrassing! This type of decision leaves officers now thinking about getting hands on when needed 🤦🏻‍♂️

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@cop_ish Sending you my condolences and thoughts at this difficult time

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@IPledgeToThee And I have reiterated both actus reus and men’s rea but been shot down by another shifts Sgt. But clearly… what do I know!

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

A quick one to pick some of your brains… A person enters a store and ‘takes’ something without paying but then a few hours later returns it back to the shop! Obviously not permanently deprived the owner of the item but surely there’s an offence somewhere?!

@EPChelmsford Top work Chelmsford Town Centre Team, clearly the courts should have provided a better punishment but great work nonetheless!

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

The problem with certain members of society… @EPRoadsPolicing officers, along with Ambulance have attended the M25 to assist with someone having a medical episode, unfortunately that person didn’t make it… But Paul Phillips PT was annoyed as he missed an important meeting! 🤬🤬

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@SpudLast @EPChelmsford Having done a quick, I do believe that officers dispersed a number of people yesterday and made several arrests in this dispersal area. If you’re going to lie about something, at least make sure it’s factually correct,

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@KUmpires quick question, if somebody bowls a no ball and the batter misses it and it goes for 4 ‘byes’ how is this scored in the book? Is it 5 no balls or 1 no ball and 4 byes?

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@PCTomVanDerWee Love a Section 50… Don’t know how many times I’ve requested details on some person being rather gobby regarding an ASB matter, they refuse, so I tell them about Sec 50 and they soon provide said details 😂

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@_JoMarney @domdyer70 No Jo, I said in this incident officers had to make a split decision here with the information, threat, harm and risk level in mind! I’m certain that if their actions were deemed to be disproportionate then the IOPC would investigate the matter.

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@_JoMarney @domdyer70 Sorry but what are you expecting an officer to do? They have used justified force in stopping a dog from killing another!? Are we not forgetting the dog that this dog nearly killed here? And of course they’re relevant, how were they to know that it wasn’t going to turn on them?

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@_JoMarney @domdyer70 Are now ok!

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@_JoMarney @domdyer70 a dog being killed and the possibility of this aggressive dog turning on to people nearby! They clearly don’t know the aggressive dog so have no idea on what ‘might’ happen and therefore taser it and secure it. Appreciate it doesn’t look pretty but it was effective and both dogs

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@dougst1234 @Friendbearx @madmackenzie341 @domdyer70 *taser trained 👍🏼

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@dougst1234 @madmackenzie341 @domdyer70 I too also remember having my first beer! Maybe come back when you bring something relevant to the conversation! And for the record, there’s been no boasting of anything!

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@madmackenzie341 @domdyer70 I understand that this incident doesn’t make for pretty viewing but as I said, officers have had to make this dog safe with the equipment they had at hand! Had there been a dog unit nearby then I’m sure it would have been different but clearly there wasn’t!

[The Independent PC @TheStudentPC1]

@lakeswalker @domdyer70 I’m sure that would have been an option had they had cable ties! It’s not unconscious though, taser doesn’t render everyone unconscious!
