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. ^^

Last year I barked at a plain clothes policeman on the Tube for not wearing a mask (I didn't know he was a plain clothes 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.

correction: there was no whistleblower, the racist bunch was discovered when the private mobile phone of an officer was searched for evidence of him selling information to the press

mixed bag i managed some sort of jedi mind trick on a WPC once, whilst 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
never spent a night in cells, touch wood

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.

Yeah I had a copper the other month at the door asking if I knew the guy next door, and I said no, and he said "thats 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
