Just a small but pertinent correction to Margaret's (and plenty of other people's) misunderstanding about how these things work. The police don't prosecute anybody - that's the role of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
Did anyone on here read this week's Carnival Column in the Gazette? It was good to read that the carnival committee appear to have resolved their differences with David Force, though it did make me titter that they couldn't quite find it in them to use his first name, instead using the rather impersonal "Mr Force"!
Oh hello Burnside. My comment was an addendum to Leatash's post about there being bad apples in every profession. Have a nice day.
Likewise Daily Mail owners past and present who should have guilty consciences.
That's very true Netiquette. The percentage is 0.189, and we don't know what the full list of offences is, and how many were convicted of each offence. As I pondered earlier, it could be that the vast majority are trivial and that the extreme ones are an even smaller percentage. Or it could be the other way round, who knows?
A quick Google has satisfied my curiosity re police numbers at least. Apparently there are 43 police forces in England & Wales (not sure who the additional two are that the article suggests), with a total of approx 158,000 officers, PCSOs and Special Constables. That info provides me with the sense of perspective that I needed. And the reassurance too.
I give up. I didn't expect you personally to know, hence me failing to understand the need for your aggression and why you posted the subsequent irrelevant copy and paste. I was pointing out that it would be interesting to know in order to gain a sense of perspective/proportion. Thank you anyway.
User4539, why are you being so aggressive? There's really no need for it. I did read the story before I posted, which is why I made the comments that I did. Your copy and paste doesn't answer those points, maybe it's another one of your "misunderstandings"? 1. I stated that it would be interesting to see the full list of offences (and how many of each one). 2. I asked how many ...
The named examples provided in that story are a tad misleading though aren't they, as they all relate to ex-officers. It may be that a lot of those who haven't been sacked were convicted of trivial offences such as, oh I don't know, parking crimes (tongue in cheek again). It's a shame though that the offences for those that are still officers aren't all individually listed so that we can ...
A number of them are skatewear and surfwear brands. Some are also available at Warren Traders but most aren't.
