Whenever I've had to deal with them for property reasons the officers have been absolutely fantastic? Kind, friendly, warm helpful. Sure the system isn't the best because of a huge underfunding but the individuals? Brilliant. Whenever I've encountered them as a law abiding football fan they've been friendly, polite, approachable. Just for balance like. I tend to find that in the majority of circumstances how I treat others dictates how they treat me. And yes I'm aware that there are bad police officers who shouldn't be in the job but there's also bad members of the public who cause big issues. Do we lump all members of the public together as yobs? No so why do it to all members of the police force?
Just relating my experience ST. I'm sure others have different but there are far too many rotten apples in the police force. There are aspects of the job that will always attract them which makes it more important than ever that they're rooted out.
