The Keystone Cops, by Deleted on Nov 6, 2014 22:47:28 GMT 1, I like the idea of a thread showing the incompetence of the police, so feel free to contribute stories similar to these two gems.....
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-29943441
A seven-year-old girl was injured when a police officer accidentally fired a gun in front of a group of children.
Nottinghamshire Police has launched an investigation following the incident at its headquarters last week, and has referred the matter to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
The girl was hit in the face by an empty cartridge after a shot was fired into the ground, the force's commissioner said.
And.......
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-29944507
Children as young as four have been mistakenly sprayed with "hot chilli" by Gwent Police.
On Wednesday, officers visited Ysgol Gymraeg Gilfach Fargoed, in Bargoed, Caerphilly county, and gave a lesson on equipment used by the force.
But instead of demonstrating a mock PAVA spray, which replaced CS spray, officers discharged a real canister.
The spray, used on eight pupils aged four and five, causes the eyes to close and is extremely painful.

... I was once stopped by the police and they asked 'whats in your boot (trunk) before you open it?' After a couple of other things I said ' a tarten picnic type rug' to which the copper asked 'what colour is the rug' and I said 'its tarten - so its all different colours!' ... 'Don't get funny with me son' came the reply!
Let's just say my car was searched with a fine tooth comb after that

The Keystone Cops, by porkus on Nov 11, 2014 18:21:20 GMT 1, I remember seeing one of those reality cop shows on the TV, a woman & her young daughter (about 6 years old) were involved in a minor traffic accident, conversation went like this:
Cop " Lets establish who was sitting where?"
Woman " Well, I was driving "

The Keystone Cops, by Deleted on Nov 11, 2014 21:30:41 GMT 1, Surely tarring all Police with the same brush and calling them all incompetent is just childish and serves no purpose. It's really no better than a UKIP supporter reading about a few Muslims burning a poppy or calling for Sharia law in the uk and then saying that all Muslims are bad peope. It's judging all people in a certain 'group' or profession by the actions of a few.
Street art has always had a rocky relationship with the police due to a lot of it being illegal but that's no excuse for the stupid anti police comments I see on here from time to time. I guess you'll just have to ask yourself who'd be the first people you'd call for help if you house got burgled or you got mugged, attacked, raped etc.
And, no, I'm not a Police officer nor do I work for them. I just get fed up with this silly 'fight the power' sentiment that sometimes runs through the forum and the whole urban art scene.

The cases I highlighted are where people put in a position of authority, trust and responsibility have demonstrated they are just as f'in' incompetent as the rest of us. Despite the impression they like to give.
The police have for a long time considered themselves the law; working for their benefit, not ours.
Of course I'd call the police if I'm a victim of crime, but that doesn't mean I can't criticise them. Should I keep my mouth shut over Hillsborough? The Birmingham Six, Guildford Four, the ongoing miscarriages of justice, Mark Duggan, the cover-up at Rotherham, the relationships between officers and protesters that was recently exposed etc etc.
The police attitude is they are above the law, and entitled to do what they see fit. That is unacceptable. Don't ever forget, they are supposed to work on our behalf.
And if they make fools of themselves...it's funny.

The Keystone Cops, by Deleted on Nov 11, 2014 22:04:56 GMT 1, Unless you've met every Police officer in the country then you make a nonsensical argument. You talk about 'The Police' like you're describing one person but you're not. I'd be very interested to hear how you personally have been the victim of incompetent police.
Yes there have been numerous miscarriages of justice in the past but should that make you hate a local bobby on the beat who has nothing to do with that and is probably just trying to do his/her best with limited resources? I grew up in a little village, the local bobby was about 60 and used to help us all and knew everyone's name. Maybe I should've refused to talk to him - the incompetent fool.
The funny thing is that if I read your post again and substitute the word police for black or Muslim then I'd be reading a BNP or UKIP website. I'm sure I could find a few websites telling me stories of black on black crime or mosques preaching hate but I choose to think for myself and not follow the frenzied crowd of sheeple.
After reading your post again I'd have to agree that people making a fool of themselves can be quite funny!

... mr sevensins ... I saw this thread as being about silly stories about the police and what they sometimes do ... we have all done stupid things at work ... I do not see anything malicious in that ... in fact it makes me smile
... I do not want this thread turning into stories about wrongdoing of the police 'force'
I grew up beside a police station where the Special Patrol Group (SPG) were based. Those of a certain age will remember them and there is a story or two I could tell ... but I have laughed with a copper or two as well ...

That's fair enough, I guess I read something different into it - especially when he started mentioning the Birmingham Six and Mark Duggan etc. I work for the Fire Brigade and used to work for the Ambulance service and we all take the p*** out of each other but we all respect each other at the end of the day. I saw someone refer the them on here as the Filth the other week and that sums it up. It's not everyone but there is that undercurrent.
I see prints like Dolk's 'Officer Down' (I'm a big Dolk fan by the way) and I just think it's a bit of an insulting image but sums up some of the views held by both urban artists and certain urban art fans. I certainly wouldn't stop collecting Dolk because of it but don't think it's his finest moment as let's not forget the police who have been killed doing their duty.
There's a Met Police officer who's an urban art fan and posts on this forum who I PM'd a while back (didn't know he was Police but bit just came out in conversation). I don't reckon it's much fun for him to see himself referred to as 'Filth'.
Anyway, that's my tuppence worth. I don't think the original poster will change his views and that's fine as, like I said, it's a free country.

The Keystone Cops, by Deleted on Nov 12, 2014 15:44:14 GMT 1, It is indeed a free country, but perhaps it's the police that need to recognise that, and not act like they are judge, jury and executioner at times. Their infiltration of protest groups being a prime example of this. At what point did they think these people were a threat? And secondly - and more importantly - the fact they they were not accountable to anyone is disturbing in a supposedly democratic country.
Fortunately, we are seeing a number of Parliamentary Commissions get to the bottom of what's been going on; and every time something comes out it is not good news. Giving the police carte blanche is not in anyone's interest. It is these failings in our system, and lack of trust in the institutions that we have been brought up to believe are there to protect us that are causing this current malaise in politics and sadly a lurch to the buffoons that are UKIP and their ilk.
I'm not naiive to understand what a police force does, and their importance, but it is equally important that they do not take the law into their own hands. As I said earlier, they are accountable to us; not the other way round. And if a comedic thread highlights their failings, then appreciate it for what it is.
I've had some great dealings with the member on here you're referring do, and I'm sure he'll acknowledge that at times his employers aren't the best at dealing with things.

I guess it depends on whose side the police are on.
Also they should make public if they are freemasons.
The criminals side as in Rochdale where they ignored the victims or the victims side.
Another question is why do people join the fuzz?
Do they become bullies when they put on their uniform.
I don't blame the policeman on the beat but do blame political correctness, quotas and their hirearchy for a lot of problems and cover ups and other issues by the well known UK POlice force PLC.
There again if you wan't to know about bad policing, try living in France.

The Keystone Cops, by Deleted on Nov 13, 2014 16:28:33 GMT 1, Best story I read I think in FHM magazine.
A homeless man was arrested for stealing shampoo from Boots the chemist.
First question of the interview:
'Sir why did you do it?'
Response:
'Because I'm worth it'
From what I remember they had to terminate the interview due to them pissing themselves laughing solidly for about a minute.

The Keystone Cops, by Deleted on Nov 18, 2014 16:36:31 GMT 1, There are two current news stories about police incompetence on such a serious subject that I've decided against posting their content because they're not the slightest bit funny, and that was the whole point of this thread.
I will say that yet again those we have been brought up to believe are there for our benefit have yet again shown themselves to be incompetent.
And yes there are serving police officers on this forum, but even they must despair at the sheer inadequacies of their fellow employees. It's just not good enough.
For those interested in what I'm referring to: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-30096706 and www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-30103480
Apologies to those that think this stuff isn't relevant on an art forum. If it impacts on the wider world,which in turn directly affects our perception, then it is.

The Keystone Cops, by Deleted on Nov 18, 2014 17:50:18 GMT 1, but they are not incompetent when they give out road fines and deal with traffic offences.
Is it cos they can't be bothered to deal with serious crimes or that they are told from above not to deal with serious crimes because their bosses are hand in glove with politicians who want to mislead us that crime is going down and cover up the truth about political correctness and such stuff?

The $500 (ยฃ329) mat lay at the entrance to the office in Pinellas County for two months before someone noticed, a spokeswoman said. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-30828694
That's quite nice. I'd have that in my room.

The Keystone Cops, by Deleted on Jan 16, 2015 16:08:52 GMT 1, there are coppers on the forum- thaqts fine, thhey are human after all and may even (shock!) be interested in art- as coppers do, they keep a low profile as its just not worth the hassle coming out. Though saying that, one poster does seem to come up as passive/ aggresive c/w veiled threats to punctuate their stereotype illiterate cop speak posts. maybe ex copper, maybe married to a copper....
there are stupid racist coppers but these days, its probs a small subset of coppery and diminishing each day ( hopefully ).
PS I have only been hassled by the filth when I have done something wrong and they are just the muscle for the CPS anyway- they are not judge dredd

I have been hassled by the cops many of times, for no reason.
I remember this one time the cops put me against the wall and had their guns blazing and searched my book bag for spray paint. They was about to shoot me over vandalism.
Note: I never tagged or vandalized anything.

The Keystone Cops, by Deleted on Jan 16, 2015 16:13:55 GMT 1, Surely tarring all Police with the same brush and calling them all incompetent is just childish and serves no purpose. It's really no better than a UKIP supporter reading about a few Muslims burning a poppy or calling for Sharia law in the uk and then saying that all Muslims are bad peope. It's judging all people in a certain 'group' or profession by the actions of a few. Street art has always had a rocky relationship with the police due to a lot of it being illegal but that's no excuse for the stupid anti police comments I see on here from time to time. I guess you'll just have to ask yourself who'd be the first people you'd call for help if you house got burgled or you got mugged, attacked, raped etc. And, no, I'm not a Police officer nor do I work for them. I just get fed up with this silly 'fight the power' sentiment that sometimes runs through the forum and the whole urban art scene.
