An Ex Police Officer

A PC’s view of major public disorder. The 2010 student protests... bluelinestories.wordpress.com/2018/01/05/stu…

@earlyyearscop This is shocking. How is this even being justified?

880 guns seized in a year standard.co.uk/news/crime/rev…

@policecommander I’d be very interested to be a fly on the wall! Sometimes I wonder if ministers really understand the realities of being a police officer and the risks they are taking with the cuts.

Punching a #police officer and stamping on a police officer's head - and the offender gets a suspended sentence. Outrageous. pic.twitter.com/4yxZmZNEJg #ProtectTheProtectors

@roysmithpolice A suspended sentence?!? This guy is walking away from court laughing!

@MPFed Important people understand what is happening to under funded under resourced officers out there!

4,808 Met officers were assaulted last year. That’s 92 a week. 13 every single day. gov.uk/government/upl… #ProtectTheProtectors

@MArbiton Exactly! That specific job requires robust fitness levels! She isn’t fit to do it if she can’t pass them, simple!

@SadiqKhan Sir, do you not feel your policies to cut stop and search have had an effect on knife crime?! As in let it rage out of control?

Politics politics politics. Embarrassing.

Absolutely ridiculous! Exactly the same as when the shield run was abolished for public order officers. This isn’t discrimination against women...it’s discrimination against those not fit enough to meet the required standards!! metro.co.uk/2018/01/13/pol…

Another deterrent sentence passed - 14 years extended sentence for stabbing a cop & drug offences! Damn well done, Judge Eleri Rees, for seeing right through his nonsense! You are a credit to the bench! Other judges please follow suit! walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-new…

@Peter_Kirkham @SkyNews Great interview. I wish politicians knew how to speak so directly.

My @SkyNews interview today: "[The reason for the knife crime epidemic] is very simple. It is entirely down to Theresa May and her cuts to the police. She has the blood of these young people on her hands" youtu.be/zENoTey8e_k #CrisisInPolicing #TrueBlueLineUK #NotCryingWolf

@mr_skylord @navnavalar @Peter_Kirkham Problem is, it is full of good people who bust a gut to make ‘it’ work. Govt know this and abuse it.

@mr_skylord @navnavalar @Peter_Kirkham The other boroughs are in as bad, if not worse state!! The police have been genuinely crippled by cuts. Completely crippled.

@Peter_Kirkham Absolutely disgusting. I remember in 2008 GD would parade two reliefs of at least 30 each. In 2014 we were lucky to have one relief of 24.
