Looks as if the ex Chief Constable left a lot to be desired, I hope he does better at the Border Agency.

Just by accident when flicking through the channels l came across this prog. l watched it because the station is in my city of Hull. What got me most was the mentality (lack of) of the people arrested. They seem to think that if they explain themselves at the desk they'll be unarrested and set free. They just can't shut up. My uncle (now retired from the force) hammered into me at an early age that if l was arrested for anything that l should keep quiet and wait for a solicitor. Happily l've never needed his advice but would still heed it if it became necessary.

http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/Police-chief-personal-protest-sick-joke-David/story-16988857-detail/story.html A joke about two murdered Police Women and shooting people. You couldn't make it up! Are the Tories really this out of touch?

The terrible deaths that make us ask: should women serve on the frontline? The shootings in Manchester – and a baby born in Helmand – have revived the debate over women's role in the services A police officer guards the scene where two of her female coleagues were killed near Manchester. Photograph: Darren Staples/Reuters Two young women were killed by a violent man this week. To read that sentence before the tragic deaths of PC Fiona Bone and PC Nicola Hughes in Greater Manchester last week, one might have made an assumption about the circumstances.

It also appeared a bit OTT from the boys & girls in blue. Pava and Baton strikes might be "approved techniques" but again it doesn't read well and it doesn't look pretty.
