How Police Reporting Works

You cant win If we police it properly which leads to no disorder then we are maximising overtime and earnings whereas if we left it alone and there was trouble we would be critised for being lazy and not safe guarding the public

I dont know what you do for a living Cal but to begrudge someone for earning over time by working on rest days is a bit low even for your anti police agenda.

Don't worry, if he gets robbed/mugged/beaten up etc he'll be the first to eat his own gooseberry fool and beg for help.

So, in a compensation-plagued culture where every single little thing needs to be reported and documented (I had to fill out a form at work the other day after I got a paper cut doing some filing), when a politician asks how many reports of injury were filed for a certain event I'm actually pretty glad another officer wasn't taken off doing something more productive to sort through which files fit Cal's standards.

People should just read up on the case of Scott Ruffalo and be thankful the british police aren't that inept.

"No really officer he shot himself playing russian roulette"
"Fair enough"

I'm suprised Cal can spare the time from defending paedophiles to attack the police so much.

Good to see he's got his priorities set.
