@virginmedia I hope my TNT package is up and running today! As it’s not showing up on the channels list, not a happy rugby fan!!

Out of office is on, now for 20 days of trying to avoid the to do list from the mrs 😂

So there’s all rest days cancelled this set, looks like we’ll be working for 10 days solid #ThinBlueLine

What it truly means to be British and proud, not necking a can of lager and throwing bricks at cops.

You won't read it in the media, but yesterday South East Territorial Support Group officers deployed to South East BCU, ( @MPSLewisham ) siezed two weapons, a knife & a baton, 2 separate amounts of class A drugs in two separate incidents making 2 arrests. The team was later redeployed to assist Safeguarding officers in the arrest of a man wanted for attempted murder.

Some good work keeping people safe. #U42

Just some of the numerous bits of decent police work that go on 24/7 across the Capital.

@PCPanda15 @Scot_PC127 That is true, do you think we’d just go back to what it was like when they first brought taser in and you a taser car on a response shift?
That might work

[Average Joe cop (former teacher) @averagejoeteach]

@PCPanda15 @Scot_PC127 I see what you mean, it’s an interesting idea but I don’t how it would be perceived even with people who believe the police are not equipped for the situations they have to deal with

[Average Joe cop (former teacher) @averagejoeteach]

@PCPanda15 @Scot_PC127 I agree with you that we need the kit to do the job, but arming every cop I don’t think is the answer, non-lethal options absolutely

@ReasonableCop I may I have missed someone else pointing this out but…she isn’t a member of the British public at the end of the day, and American police do things a lot differently to us…correct me if I’m wrong 🫣

[Average Joe cop (former teacher) @averagejoeteach]

@PC_DaybyDay Mate that is better than most seasoned cops! Keep your chin up, at the end of the day what I’ve learned is although we’re trying to get everything home, it just isn’t possible especially with the CPS threshold

[Average Joe cop (former teacher) @averagejoeteach]

@ReasonableCop Whatever next 🤦‍♂️

[Average Joe cop (former teacher) @averagejoeteach]

@____Foxtrot____ I knew there was a reason a swore to serve the crown and not to some local numpty you doesn’t know his arse from his elbow…how remiss of me 🫣

[Average Joe cop (former teacher) @averagejoeteach]

@YorkshireSgt Sounds like par for the course, there is no respect for anything anymore #crumblingsociety

[Average Joe cop (former teacher) @averagejoeteach]

@PacmanMcr @ReasonableCop We brave few though, that still remain

Advice from the more experienced out there, I have a an issue with young lads that are doing drugs, ASB and chucking there stuff all over the street. As a copper do I:

Did you know only 8% of England’s countryside has a right of public access? And only 3% of rivers? Sign this petition from @Right_2Roam calling for access reform this election. It's time we stopped being shut out of our own country! https://t.co/MWefxDNoeV via @38degrees
