poz Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Sounds like a typical case of a uniform containing a person that derives their confidence from said uniform. Unfortunately, I have met many of them. They are identifiable by the number of times they have been assaulted, and the number of complaints recorded against them. They usually have a high arrest rate, and unfortunately this personality type is quite difficult to detect during the recruitment process.

ganers Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Dan I agree with you in part mate. You can put a uniform on anyone so you always get idiots in the mix, but a complaint rate if made by the dregs of society just means your doing your job. Upsetting the criminals.

Absolutely agree that it isn't a black and white situation, but I worked with some real idiots for too long and, trust me, there's a pattern. Getting locked up for stating your view point just reminded me of a few of those idiots that I got partnered up with. As it happens, funnily enough the 'dregs' don't usually complain.

ganers Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Dan Do I detect a former colleague ? And it sounds like some a lads I work with are probably related to some of your partners. They certainly share some of the same traits especially where higher rank is involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poz Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I think we're on the same page. Just noticed your location. If I was still in Bury (Brandlesholme), we'd definitely be flying together.
