 | I don't like how the met police beat the shit of legitimate protestors and act as bully boys for the state, feels the
 bigger the crime you do, the less time you do, we live in a
 totally mental world full of mentally ill people

 | they are cunts, and i don't just mean cos they're the jackboot of a corrupt state, they're just horrible people.
 remember that kid at school who was a prefect but all
 lads-lads-lads with it? a cunt who'd sell you a fivers of
 hash then grass you up for having it on you? that kid is
 probably now up for promotion at the police. these ppl do
 not change. cunts

 | yeah, in general im happy they exist as a form of armed and trained sherrif to call if in need. i do feel they serve
 alone for the fact that they find you if you mess with other
 people, thus preventing a good portion of hurting and
 killing. so i agree to law and order in general.
 
 when it comes to the people who do the job its a whole
 different animal though. personally i have never been
 wronged by the police. i guess ive never fitted their
 profile of a thug not even when i was a dreadlock youth. i
 have never been searched when riding a bike drunk and high
 without lights in the middle of the night. they pulled me
 over many times but never made me pay a fine or anything,
 when they easily could have done it.
 
 my friends however have had all kinds of weird encounters.
 im gonna tell a few later. deffo have a hilarious one.
 
 i can tell you one thing though, ive always wanted to do:
 its run like hell after i made eye contact with a random
 officer on the street just to see if i was going to get em
 into pursuit. and then see if i could outrun em. if they
 catched up how they would react when i tell them i was just
 running for the sake of playin catch. ^^

 policeman at that point, I just asked him who he thought he
 was staring at)

 | heres a true story, i havent ben there so i have to rely on my buddys report on this but heres how it went:
 my friend was on his way home from a binge. at the front
 door he noticed he must have lost his keys. so he went
 around to the back yard to check if he left the patio door
 or the window open and indeed the window was bent open, so
 he fumbled around and indeed managed to fully open the
 window to enter. can anybody guess how the story goes on?
 right, while entering drunk he breaks some stuff and makes a
 lot of noise looking for the light switch. so one of the
 tennents in the flats above or around apparently calls the
 police, which so happens to actually find the keys on the
 ground in front of the house. now things get weird. my
 friend, inside his flat is unable to open the door without a
 key to answer the demanding police outside. i dont know if
 there was any conversation through the door. like many of us
 at the time he probably had some light drugs around the
 living room table, but i dont remember this being his
 concern. however eventually the police enters using the keys
 much to the displeasure of my friend who storms towards em
 rambling and yelling to get the fuck out of his apartment.
 (hes a quite tall guy i wouldnt want running at me) next
 hing he finds himself on the floor, cuffed. i cannot explain
 how, but the situation gets so far out of hand they took him
 to the station and kept him overnight. he had to face
 assaulting an officer and pay the stay at the station.
 
 usually when i tell this story i cant help but finding it
 hilarious, because its such an unlikely and clumsy event to
 have happened, but its really sad also that it had not been
 resolved without my buddy being taken in.

 | so, ive always felt the policing in my little <200.000 shitters town was rather sensible, BUT in 2020 an officer
 blew the whistle and a group of 29 officers in the region
 had to face charges for exchanging nazi images and racist
 bullshit via whatsapp. after that more accusations and cases
 emerged revealing right winged misbehaviour including
 beatings of a cuffed man. fittingly our main station still
 is seated in adolfstreet. most of the fuckers were seated in
 the bigger neighbouring city.

 information to the press

 camping with m8s on common land by factories... although she
 was admiring my mates bong, that got confiscated . R.I.P.
 Bulbosaur
 got pounced on by two coppers whilst walking over a bridge
 once because they  thought i "looked suicidal" [pissed up] -
 came from nowhere one on each arm gripping me telling me
 life's worth living and that
 i know 2 x WPCs both of them were excellent humans, sadly
 neither now work in the police force

 | i did ask how you get to learn how to do police speek, like "gained entry to the vehicle" instead of "broke
 into the car" and all that jazz, but i don't think i got a
 satisfactory answer.
 when done right it's like neutral language is the sort that
 should be used in court, but a lot of the more meat head
 types garble it into a hilarious/scary parody.

 | that's another thing about coppers: they work purely on 'intuition' - they will never take what you say at face
 value, but if u set something up so that they think they
 figured it out themselves, then it is nearly impossible to
 persuade them otherwise... very basic people. Very reddit.

 weird he said he knew you well" and I was thinking perhaps
 the guy next door means someone else rather than me, but the
 copper acts dead suspicious then when its an obvious mistake
