ORIGINAL: thompsonx ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 Unfortunately, that seems to be the size of it. My cousin lives in the south-east of the UK (about 6 miles from me) and serves her 'beat', sometimes on foot, sometimes in a patrol car, in a metropolitan district about 10 miles nearer London. Apparently, they don't like to post officers within their own locality. Her best mate that she went through 5 years police training with is posted somewhere nearer the south coast and apparently the situation is just as bad down there. So we aren't talking about a region that is anywhere close to the Midlands of Rotherham or Rochdale. Every time she discovers some nefarious Muslim injustice, she is told to file a preliminary report and 'forget it' with direct orders not to upset the Muslim boat or pursue the matter further. Nothing is done about it. Yeah, it really really stinks. After spending 5 years training and nearly 15 years on the force, she is seriously thinking of giving it up. It's a job she loves and trained hard for, so her decision will be with a heavy heart. Your cousin, you say, is a police officer without the ethical courage to do her job. I think she is right she is not cut out to be a real police officer, she should quit. Pffftt!! What would YOU know what it takes to be a WPC in the UK?? Nothing!! How many lilly-livered police in the US would rather be discharged dishonourably or shut their gob and obey a direct order? Maybe dissenting officers are rife over there but I'd like to think that most follow the laws and orders from above. Maan... you have no fucking idea.
