    Those damned elderly Brits standing up for poor dying people! I mean, seriously though, how can you go to work as a UK cop and do this shit.

      I’d love to hear from one of the officers involved regarding how they feel about this. I can’t imagine they’re happy about it at all.

        The lads I know wouldn’t be. Hopefully, whilst those offices don’t have to agree, they can still be polite, courteous, kind and gentle

      Law enforcement are selected for being authoritarian scabs everywhere. The good ones, of strong moral character, are ostracised and pushed out by rest.

        Yeah I knew a good cop that worked for medium sized city. He was isolated, excluded and border line suicidal after like 5 years.
