Can you imagine what it's like to be a copper involved in social riots, or having to control hundreds of Neanderthals at football grounds up and down the country, or finding dead bodies, dead babies, smashed up teenagers in RTA's, etc.?
We all know that corruption and bullying takes place in all walks of life, but no amount of cash would persuade me to join the fuzz in this day and age. Just be thankful that there are youngsters out there who still want to join.
No, you're quite right. I thought about it afterwards and my comments about a certain type of police officer were a bit brash, especially in light of what happened yesterday so apologies to anyone I offended with that.
